I just read that this bio is due to be released in the UK on September 18. I wonder if there will be any surprises. Of course, I'll be flipping forward to the parts on Wallis Simpson when I get mine. The book's cover ° ° ° . .

Good, I like you all and would hate you to leave because of hurt feelings. I always tell my cats "be good -- don't fight!" Good words for all. I had an idea the other day, to throw this out for discussion. I've been reading about George III's family and of course there's discussion about the...

I was doing a search on google and came across a reference to the discovery of the tomb of Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII. The archaeologists were planning to study the remains and hoping to discover the cause of the death of the young prince. Do any of you RFers know the results...

'm interesting in writing a brief comparison of Maria Theresa's education and career history versus that of Princess Diana, since they were both commoners who married into royal families at about the same time. Do any of you have any information you share? The most I've found is in wikipedia...

I'm interesting in writing a brief comparison of Queen Silvia's education and career history versus that of Princess Diana, since they were both commoners who married into royal families at about the same time. Do any of you have any information you share? The most I've found is in wikipedia...

I was thinking last night about the girls... Their nuptials will be regarded as more private events than the weddings of William, obviously, and Harry. If the monarch (either EII or Charles) declines to foot the bills on behalf of their parents, Andrew and Sarah will have to come up with a...

I have a new candidate for "What were they thinking?" Edwina Mountbatten's "Tutti Frutti Bandeau" which is going to be on exhibit at the V&A. (Sorry, I don't have a photo -- Thomas Parkman, can you find one??) I don't know why this piece was purchased since it's so awful and Edwina...

Has anyone investigated the genealogy of Maria Teresa of Luxemburg? I have heard that her mother-in-law (who must have been a real dragon) complained about MT's African heritage. Does MT really have any African heritage? If so, it must be pretty remote. I am just very curious about this...

Could we amend the Wessex family's section to include a mention of baby Viscount Severn? Thank you! :flowers:

I was surprised to see no previous comments about Princess Charlotte! My last issue of Majesty has an interesting article about this forgotten princess. The author states that her last, and fatal, pregnancy was mishandled by the doctors throughout her term. My question is, what were these...

I was thinking we could discuss our collections, offer advice to each other, etc. First, wouldn't it be great to have a list of "must have" books? Second, what about the dolls? Do you like your dolls, want more, hate your dolls? (I had two of the Ashton Drake dolls -- Elvis dress, Travolta...

Do the Prince of Wales and the Duchess currently have any dogs? Is Tigger still alive? I remember that her son Roo went missing and was never found (to my knowledge).

Does anyone know what's up with Bunny Tonkin, Mark Phillips' illegitimate daughter (born 1984)?

I just got the new copies of Majesty and Royalty and noticed in one that there was a picture of Marina Mowatt with her children, and Cassius Taylor (misidentified as her nephew). Does anyone know why Marina was invited? Haven't seen her around the royals in years, except for her father's...

Does anybody know when Tom Parker Bowles is getting married? I thought it was this fall. (Hope the girl doesn't wear something similar to that bustled mini-skirt!)

Let's not be sexist. :) I will nominate Prince Manuel of Bavaria.

How did they manage to calm the Prince down and get him back into the fold? I never heard how that story ended!

I was watching The Today Show yesterday when Penny Junor turns up to discuss her new book. From the short interview I guess it's a look at the Royal Family as a business. The most interesting comment she made IMO was about the triangle of Charles, Diana and Camilla. Penny says that Camilla...

I don't know much about the Jordanian Royal Family, but could anyone tell me why the Jordanian kings don't seem to take several wives at the same time? I have been reading about Princess Haya's situation and it seems very complicated (and liable to cause many hurt feelings). Does anyone have...

They had these dolls, in holiday clothes, for sale today. The opening bid was $29.99 but nobody had bid on them. I have never seen a Dodi doll before. (No, I won't be buying them.)

What is the mystery about this man? I have heard that he has health problems (which no one ever speaks about). I am also aware that he is a Catholic, although that wouldn't prevent him from being in the public eye. Does anybody know what his story is?
