      I don’t know what it is - a weird light/angle of photo, got caught in the rain, sweat - but if it had been me, I’d be mortified - and hate for anyone to point it out and say I was only meeting a low standard! She’s just a human afterall!

      That is a really stupid thing to say. Caroline does not have low standards, ever. Take into account the weather conditions. They are all dressed for a warm climate. As Anon 21:27 says, we are all human and things happen.

      Not a good look! Does she not have an assistant with her jacket or spare clothes.

    Princess Caroline has such fine features but her stringy, unkempt hair is beyond me, and I do not mean her decision to go natural.

      Looks fine to me. She normally has it nicely neatly styled with too much fuss. Being in the tropics changes most of our hair temporarily.

  7. Cette petite Alexandra se complaît dans son look de femme-enfant avec ses ballerines de petite fille 👧 surprenant car au même âge sa mère se la jouait très très femme...

    1. Ce n'est pas faux Brigitte, bientôt India sa petite fille fera plus femme tout au moins jeune fille alors que Alexandra reste fillette. Surtout qu'elle semble entretenir cet état de fait avec son habillement, ses chaussures, son style fifilles.

    The Cuban people outside of the capital are living with constant power outages that last 20 hours a day. It’s incredulous to see Europeans visiting and attending the ballet when the typical Cuban lacks the basic necessities of life. MR

    Not everybody can stand the hot humid climate of the Carribean. To say that her hair is unkempt is not true. Her hair is kempt, but the humidity makes it look like it is not. It has the same effect as walking in fine rain without an umbrella or a rain hat. Her daughter Alexandra suffers less of that problem because her hair is almost always in a pony tail or a bun.

    Elle a perdu de sa superbe au fil des ans, elle se laisse allé et assume ce choix.

    Caroline est habillée simplement mais c'est assez élégant et ce bleu est joli.
    Les sandales auraient été plus chics avec des brides plus fines.
    Alexandra semble avoir 10 ans avec une robe et des chaussures de gamine, et son sac ne ressemble à rien hélas. Paloma.

    There’s a troll here recently writing stupid provocative one-liners. Would you mind holding back and not writing unless you’ve something wise, kind of interesting to write? It’s not funny and not clever, and you’ve better things to do with your time somewhere else.

  14. C'est un plaisir de voir mère et fille sous le climat des Caraïbes chaud et humide qui n'est pas supportable pour beaucoup de personnes !
