There's a difference though between Harry and Beatrice/Eugenie: His service in Afghanistan. Does this make him a target? Something that should be considered IMHO.

Well, last time she stayed overnight and had more time to recover. On a sidenote: Bunte.de showed in the livestream also the way home of the cars. What I found amazing was the behaviour of the yellow dressed motor-bikers: One speeded up, overtook the convoy, waited at the next crossing...

Originally I liked the idea of a Princess Mary, too. But then on second thought I came to the conclusion that a George and a Mary might be too much of a reminder of George V and his wife. Jacknch & Frideswide, Thanks for all the info. I never knew that Alison has such a long history all by...

-->> And maybe they will be happy to be less visible, out of the limelight. Depends on their upbringing of course, but in Madeleines case I can see this clearly happening. -->> Well, these were different times and a different law was in place when it came to marriages.

Mbruno, that's exactely what I wanted to point out. Sorry for not making myself clear. Baptised Alice Used in public: Alison (a bit more modern touch)

Alison instead of Alice (similar to Harry instead of Henry)

German newspaper ZEIT has published an article about the illness of the Sultan and the situation in Oman. https://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zeit.de%2Fpolitik%2Fausland%2F2015-02%2Foman-wechsel-regierung

... doesn't matter? He might still one day regret to have no children of his own and decide to dump Carina. There are other examples of late fathers. Not an easy situation for Carina, I would say, without official marriage certificate.

Plus Charlene has been living for many years in Monaco ... prior to the marriage. Surely she met many people during this time.

Or maybe they are waiting for the Cambridge Baby to be born. Beatrice would become 7th in the succession, thus no more consent of the Sovereign will be required. Expecting an announcement of the engagement maybe one or two months after the second Cambridge toddler is here.

FIFA: Platini: "Prinz Ali genießt die nötige Glaubwürdigkeit" - Fußball - FOCUS Online - Nachrichten Platini himself has praised Prince Ali. In particular Platini is quoted saying that Prince Ali has the credibility to fulfill the job. Focus is not any German magazine. Surely the Jordan...

Has passed all the necessary exams ... If so, Congratulations! Well done, Prince Harry, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for future promotions.

Since the Swedish hairdresser of the Royal family is rather creative in including jewels in the hairdo, there is also a chance that Sofia takes a lesson of Charlene :flowers:.

On a sidenote ... Did you notice that Joachim let Marie shake hands first while Mary was second to her husband?

Actually I like the idea of Diana Elizabeth or Elisabeth Diana as second and third name, but as first one my choice would be... Mary And for a boy: James.

Waiting for a new government wouldn't have been an option, IMHO. After all the papers would have been published either way - permission granted or permission denied. A published denial would have created quite a bit of embarrasement. In particular, if CP hadn't popped the question. All in all...

Not 'just a white business suite'... Have you seen the embroidery on the bottom of the sleeves and front? It's only visible on some pictures as it is white on white, e.g. on the one where she is shaking hands with the Pope. BTW interesting that her handshake is so different from Felipes.

Probably the last... we shouldn't think too much behind these messages. Maybe they phoned before she posted the message and what was important was said directly. No need for elaborate FB communication.

Denmark: There were two changes in Denmark. You are mentioning the 1953 Change (following the 1953 Referendum) which was about the succession rights of females. Prior to it women were not allowed at all thus making the kings brother (Knud) the heir to the throne. This change gave women only...

Superficial? Well, my impression would be that the royal families become more 'grounded'. Loosing their aloofness, so to say. Still showing a big heart and traditions, but more approachable. Maybe a bit more Monaco-style, but personally I like this personal touch. The balcony scene ... good...

Well, my impression is that he is more demure. Surely he won't hunt elephants and will be loyal to his wife :flowers:. And yes, Duke of Marmelade, a reform under the auspices of Felipe might indeed happen, and yes, I do believe he would step back, if this would help. Though I don't believe he...

I don't know the inheritance-taxation in Spain, but maybe the Family might consider to set up a foundation. Thus avoiding that the collection can ever be dispersed.

Initially I was surprised that the abdication was announced by the Head of government. Found it a bit thoughtless. Really, the King himself should have been the first to inform the public. But then I read in another German newspaper about the necessity to introduce a new law in order to allow...
