:previous:True and I'm sure the author needs the money, hence she is cashing in.

And I am thankful for that, though well-researched and well-regarded in his subjects, Russo finds Massie to be a bore. (See the book "Dreadnought")

Peter Kurth is a friend of mine. I'll pass along your well wishes.

Maybe the Daily Mail is run by Occupiers who resent the 1%? :whistling:

Exactly. It was black or white with Alix. No in between in anything in her life.

There was speculation that Georgie had contracted 2 morganatic marriages (see Warwick's book on ella and the Crawfords on GD Michael) however unless that information is verified and comes to light then no, I don't think any books on Georgie are forth coming.

Half the population of the US doesn't know who Charles 1 & 2 are anyway. I find Charles just fine, thankyouverymuch!

I love this picture of HM. She looks so powerful and so comfortable in her new role as Queen, even though she is grieving for her father.

Well it is nice to see the Princess' wearing helmets what with the passing of Natasha Richardson and her accident on the slopes. (no matter what year the pics) Does anyone know how well the Princesses' ski? I do know Fergie's a black diamond kinda gal and PA isn't a sloucher on the slopes.

I don't know about the LV however the one with the Princesses on it she's had a while.

It is. Mr. Russo and I were going to go there on a cruise back in 2009 however the economy had a different plan for us. :biggrin: And VM I am sure you are very near the mark. However I would love to get ahold of the origional story and get the real scoop on it. It was second hand at best and...

:previous:Aaah! Now that is how I like to see TPR! Smiling with lipstick! She looks dashing even though she's in "work" clothes. Thanks Ice! :flowers:

Kinda like the Nobel Peace prize, huh? :whistling:

I beg to differ, they are 2 sides of the same coin. Both opressive both socialistic.

Felix relocated, as did many others, to paris where he kept a salon. I heard from another poster who said that their grand--or great granddaughter Xenia Tiflis (I think that's correct) asked for the yussopov palace back and they told her that they cannot do it. Interesting, huh? I wish I had the...

God Save the Queen and may she reign for many more years! :royalstandard:

Seems to work for Lee Radziwill. . . . . :whistling: :biggrin:

Funny you should mention that. I am just tucking into Sally Bedell Smith's book "Elizabeth, the Queen" And in her preface am struck by those very same words. Especially in regards to Prince Philip whom she knew, at 13 she was going to marry.

There was a big article about her coat of arms before they married (and can you believe it's almost been a year????) that the acorns represented the 3 Middleton offspring. I thought it rather cool and that Catherine was able to incorporate it into the Windsor arms.

Yes, you know where they advertise "We speak English!" BBC America - The Biggest Names in British Television

:previous:Too bad they couldn't help the Whites after WW2 when Stalin got his hooks (literally) into many of them.

I would think the furor the comments caused was more because they are true and the EU is not happy with it. However it is reality. France and Austria were recently downgraded from AAA to AA+ status. Italy is trying to sell it's debt to stay afloat. Greece keeps swirling the drain. The EU is in...

I think you're correct on this, Bertie, it just doesn't smell right.

I like Carrolly Erickson but this work really isn't worth your time.

Unfortunately, I find Massie a bore. I'm not even going to look at his work on Catherine II. I have his work on Dreadnaught and honestly, I feel a root canal would be more interesting. GD24, you might try Christopher Warwick's book on Ella. it's a good read.
