Here is a picture of Isla in the traditional christening gown - don't know who photographer is. The media said the original Victorian gown was last used at Lady Louise's or Viscount Severn's (I think the Viscount) christening and was deemed too delicate to continue to use, so the Queen had a...

Victoria's Albert was also a Prince Consort. He was not made King because he was (a) a foreigner from an unpopular country at the time and (b) Because the connotation in her time would have been that he was in charge. Philip was not made a King for the same reasons. The Greek royal house had...

The Spencer Tiara Diana wore was borrowed for the wedding. It is more likely that Kate will be given the Lover's Knot Tiara (aka Queen Mary Tiara) when and if she needs one for a state occasion. Diana's ring and earrings have obviously already been given to her as rightly they should as she will...

HM Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, presently the leader of the monarchies of Europe, curtseyed to Prince Nicholas Romanov, thereby recognizing him as Head of the Imperial Family. HM Queen Elizabeth rarely curtseys to anyone as shown when she arrived at the marriage of HRH Prince William...

Where to find wedding jewels replicas I was looking for a replica of Kate's tiara for a friend's wedding and came upon this wonderful site. They have Kate's tiara and earrings as well as The Spencer Tiara and the best version of the Cambridge Lover's Knot I've seen. Try Bridal tiaras as unique...

LOL! I was watching something about Prince Albert on Youtube and they called him "a real stud" because he gave England 9 princes and princesses.

If you click my Windsor Brides website in my signature, I have some pictures of Alix as a bride and the story of her coming to England and the marriage.

Going back to Kate's Reiss dress when they met the Obamas - am I crazy or is that Diana's necklace that she wore in Germany. Here's a picture of Diana's necklace taken by AP photographers. http://www.bluemelon.com/photo/10349/421460.jpg

I agree, after looking at all the sites, by far the Glamgal replica of the Spencer Tiara is the best I've ever seen. Here's the link Princess Diana Wedding Tiara As far as the Diana/Kate engagement ring goes you want a 14 prongs along the "sapphire" or it won't look like the real thing. This...

Ennobling Of Catherine's family Does anyone think the Middleton's will be enobled?

Congrats Your Royal Highness! May you have the happy married life with Catherine that your mother always wanted you to have!

Actually, because Anne was tried and put to death for treason, and because Thomas Bolelyn would have been named as a co-conspirator because he didn't tell Henry if he knew about Anne cheating, then the estate would have immediately been taken from Thomas and given to the Crown, as part of his...

I found this article on Yahoo. Thought everyone would like to see it. Facts About Royal Brides - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com

Okay, I'm going back to what Kate will be wearing. I'm voting for a dress with sleeves and also for The Queen Mary Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara. I think that William will want to work his mother in somehow and that is the easiest way, either that or the Spencer Tiara, to work in Diana's family...

Loving the new look!
