    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    No, they are upset because they well know that people like you will use these pictures to do an assassination of Sofia's character. And how right have they proven to be. As a parallel, Carla Bruni was also upset about nude pictures of her being published by the British press ahead of her first...

    William and Kate: engagement and relationship rumours and musings 2010

    I disagree about the 'never'. In the weeks following her most serious split with William, Kate was definitely seeking attention. She was hitting parties after parties at high profile clubs where she was sure to have her picture taken, wearing more suggestive outfits than before, engaging the...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    You forgot the hard drugs. At least, when you pose nude you're not indirectly supporting every illegal trade under the sun from child slavery to terrorism. It makes total sense.:flowers:

    The Duchess of Cambridge: Will she become more popular than Diana?

    The debate about the nature and seriousness of Kate's employment within the family business (or even whether she still has said employment) has been had a thousand times. There are the ones who think she has a significant job and actual career, other who don't. Check past posts for the pro and...

    The Duchess of Cambridge: Will she become more popular than Diana?

    ^??? 1. What a pathetic headline that would be. As I already said, hand-on charity work does not scream 'princess', it screams 'charitable person'. 2. You think doing charity work would harm her reputation and get her bad press? I can't see how it would but even so, it's not like she's getting...

    The Duchess of Cambridge: Will she become more popular than Diana?

    ^I agree with the credibility part. It's a given that being princess is not a modern position (the job definition is, for all intend and purpose: trophy wife) but that doesn't mean princesses to be should not have modern qualities. Kate seems to me straight out of a Jane Austin novel. Almost...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    I genuinely cannot believe you would be so smug as to provide me with a definition. But anyway, since you did, I fail to see how the official 'dictionary.com' definition contradicts anything I said. Self-respect? Nude pictures aren't contradictory with that. I have already lengthily made my...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    ^how you treat others and how you treat yourself is intimately linked. You can't respect other people if you don't respect yourself. Posing nude is not abusing your body. I find it ridiculous to suggest that. Some people are more private and secretive than others but everything depends on how...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    I won't bother quoting your entire post but I agree with everything you said (trust me, your opinion of the Sarkozys is also widely shared in France), with one exception. Sofia lacks dignity? How so? Is that because she posed nude? I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that. Some people...

    William, Harry, their Girlfriends and the Press

    I browsed that issue on the newstand, it was absolute drivel. Their hard hitting exclusive about K&W 'marital' arrangements? Wait for it: Kate stays with her parents during the week and spends her w-e with him. Err... like she has been doing since forever? I fail to see how that's living like...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    A naked picture of Sofia is always going to elicit an erotic response from men because she is a beautiful woman with a sexy body. Period. That shot isn't anywhere near pornography. Carla Bruni's pictures are not different in essence. She was photographed by more talented photographers so the...

    Harry and Chelsy: Relationship Musings

    Lumutqueen, you wrote a thoughfull and extensive answer. And no, you did not come off remotely agressive. I supose you do excactly what I do when discussing Harry or other royal that I like very much: you get passionate. I certainly apologise for calling one of your point a 'pathetic lie'. That...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    I don't find the picture remotely shocking. It's not pornography and there is nothing dirty or vile about a naked body (whatever the church may say) . It's actually an improvement over the snake picture because at least she isn't covered in yellow grease. Carla Bruni has done far more explicit...

    Harry and Chelsy: Relationship Musings

    Lumutqueen, I find it very odd that, when 'defending' Kate you always attack other posters for acting like their opinions are facts but you're not above doing the same thing. There is still no proof she is there on a full-time basis and the reports who claim she is are also the reports saying...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    Thank you for your kind offer. I trust I have enough grasp of the english language to understand what is being said in these forums. I stand by my point that the ongoing discussion regarding her looks and the intelligence (or lack of thereof) of her conversation is larded with negative...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    ^thank you Lumutqueen. These posters have made posts clearly implying that the only reason Carl is with this girl is for sex than act all surprised when I ask them why they think she's dumb. Did her good looks get her the Prince's attention? Duh! The first thing anybody is judged on is...

    Press Reports about Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist, Part 1: Jan. 2010 - April 2012

    I am curious as to where this idea that Sophia is dumb comes from? I know she was on a reality TV show, so may I ask the Swede members: did she come off as an airhead? Is her stupidity actually documented? Or is this just some misogynistic assumption that a woman who is sexually provocative...

    ^yep. Usually these degrees have an international slant, but she might still need to catch up to the particularities of the S-A legal system.

    William and Kate: engagement and relationship rumours and musings 2010

    Well, when you look at the enormous divorce rates, as well as the number of people who cheat, lie or are abusive to their spouse, I am dubious about the so-called 'sanctity of marriage'. That bond is as sacred as a couple make it. And some couple simply don't need the sheet of paper to make...

    Princess Madeleine & Jonas Bergström Break Off Their Engagement: April 2010

    Humm... I gather you still haven't read the comments posted by a newbie with a very self-explanaory username... Otherwise, I would agree that some of the reactions posted here have been over-blown and shocking by their virulence. I actually commented on that before. Some posters openly wished...

    William and Kate: engagement and relationship rumours and musings 2010

    I strongly disagree with that. There are plenty of people who are not married but have deeper commitment to each other (not to mention who have been together longer) than people who are or were married. Just to cite two very famous examples: Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis who have been...

    Princess Madeleine & Jonas Bergström Break Off Their Engagement: April 2010

    ^You don't actually need to look behind closed doors to find sleazyness and questionable behaviors. I genuinely believe that many Briton are utterly delusional when it comes to their Royal Family, but that's a debate for another thread. Also, I can't believe we now have a Jonas stan in here. I...

    The Swedish Royals and The World Childhood Foundation, Part 1 (May 2003-May 2018)

    Yes, that and the fact that they are both two high maintenance people who need to be taken care of and and have their partner organize their life around them and not the opposite. As they say, in all relationships there is a gardener and a flower. When you put two flowers together you get...

    Harry and Chelsy: Relationship Musings

    Chelsy is done with the academic side of her studies, and I doubt she's retaking modules because she passed all her exams. Maybe she will need to take some classes to level-up her theoretical knowledge as I assume S-A law differ from English law but a whole new degree? Not likely. She needs to...

    William and Kate: engagement and relationship rumours and musings 2010

    Sister Morphine, studies have shown that couples who have lived together before marrying are statistically more likely to divorce than those who waited, so that 'test drive' argument is weak at best. And, yes, women can have healthy children at almost any age these days, but all the technology...
