Rubbish comment about Cape Town. You and the BA attendant don't know what you, are talking about. The Princess and Prince have excellent taste in choosing Cape Town one of the of the beast, popular, most beautiful and number ONE tourist destination in the world. You are just as save in Cape Town as you are with the goody-goody Crown Princess walking in Stockholm. What can happen with you in Stockholm can happen with you in Cape Town. They are walking along the promenade in Sea Point.

Um that is what we do. I see you 'intruding' all ove this blog dear. <br /><br />I think I am just going to avoid any interaction going forward because frankly I feel you have some kind of issue and opinion that is beyond all of us. Voicing an opinion is one thing but raising over and over with a word change each time is ridiculous. This just ended with many just walking away from the topic. <br /><br />The fact that you cannot take an attempt to remedy this whole thing and some genuine kindnesa speaks volumes. <br /><br />I am over this thread and....you. <br /><br />Ciao <br /><br />Unbelievable ~ my professional background wants to go further but I will refrain. You seem to be "rather joyful" about it all. Biting my tongue. <br /><br />Thanks Heather I am glad you are here and it is fun discussing and learning and laughing with you daily :)Diane Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018830629685799985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-62384705788471063342017-01-05T22:03:58.970+00:002017-01-05T22:03:58.970+00:00Thank you, Coralie.

The truth is, I also have my personal preferences and antipathies towards some royals and it's sometimes hard to put those apart. I bet I use a less kinder tone when talking about someone I don't like. But that doesn't mean I let that influence me when I comment on fashion. I apply the same rules for everyone, regardless of whether I like or loathe her. And really nobody asked me here who do I like and who do I not. If anyone ever asks I'm ready to tell who and why, it's no secret and I must tell I just don't believe when someone says "oh, I don't dislike anyone, I'm so perfectly serene and balanced" - bullsh*t, there's no impartiality between humans. But until someone asks I try not to push my agenda, not even when I'm positively biased. It's not that this is some kind of genius rule I invented but I think it's what we all shall do here.ZLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277591794820799985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-39259953693956664242017-01-05T20:38:50.015+00:002017-01-05T20:38:50.015+00:00Diane, very well said.

"as if your right" laughable! Like other s are the ones that are right too. It's opinions. I don't believe that all the luxury comes from "private" fortunes. And that is real evidences of that, that includes all I talked about. Some prefer to believe that they are soooo wealthy and humble that they would never let the people pay anything. I believe I'm realistic. <br /><br />Plus, these comments aren't all for me right? You intrude yourself in my conversation with Blondiini and reply many times. So let's not pretend that I am just writing comments alone about things. It's was a discussion between several people. I agree. I believe this should be over. I have my opinion, people have there's. Im fine and I respect people's opinions. :)<br /><br />Thank for welcoming me. :)Raquel Alveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573872984895996502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-56117267945250767842017-01-05T18:19:55.981+00:002017-01-05T18:19:55.981+00:00Actually yes Raquel I am talking about you.

I myself barely comment on here either, but I had been watching you and the drama you start. It's only the Swedish royals you do this on, you'll give a backhanded compliment about them "Sofia looks nice but....." knowing full well it's going to start issues, like you say people don't have to respond but you know that when someone is constantly putting down a certain person or family eventually someone will say something. <br />Also are you the one who's also trying to promote your own blog on here by posting the link to it, I'm pretty sure that's you! That's just downright disrespectful to the admin. Just knock it off and let this blog get back to the peaceful way that it was before!

It is like you must have the last word. Over and over and over. You commented. As is your right. Others replied to explain as is their right and you repeatedly reply back with all the reasons you are right. Why? All of this info is out there. Yes it is fine to discuss such things but it seems to me that one lone picture of Carl amd Sofia has resulted in 82 comments ? Not even about the picture. Again this is ok and I welcome you to this blog. But this blog pretty much sticks to fashion. It is a small group of regulars and new views is welcomed as far as I can tell. We tend to all get along. There are a "few" who are your "super royalist" and none of us pay them much attention. You will soon learn who they are. I would say that all of speak our mind and most of us are not rabid about any of the families. Yes we all have favs. Natural. But we can also say our favs missed the mark. The only time we speak up is when it is something not nice and not about the post. Example~ there is one here ...2 actually that will bash Kate even when it is not about Kate. That is crapola in my opnion and I tend to say something. I am learning to ignore them. Truly there is no need to just keep commenting over and over as you can see it is a stalemate. But please comment. We just do not go into threads that are 300 posts like some other blogs. I think you will find that many here are very in the know about the royals. I have learned much here. This has become my favorite blog because I really enjoy the group here. I hope that you will too. <br /><br />I am not scolding or trying to be mean here. Just explaining how this one works. Hellen the admin tends to leave us to our own mgmt here. We all have our opinions. That is great but in this topic as I said way up ^^^^ this is one that is heated and can take a nasty turn. Most are very set in their views. No amount of debate will change that in my very humble opinion. <br /><br /><br />So ~ welcome! Hang on and chat w us. We are really a likeable group.

I did not "remember" to talk about cars while looking at the photo, did I? I spoke of them as a follow-up on an answer. If other people wouldn't have disagreed with me and started all of this, I would have talked about cars would I? Go back and see my "talk" with Blondiini. Btw the two of us are cool with each other. Even if we disagree. I don't know what your problem is to intrude yourself in our the conversation. We agreed on other posts. Blondiini was actually nice to me and I to her on another posts.<br />Maybe you drank too much champagne without realizing it?<br />PS. If I want to talk about cars, it's my right.

This is why people remove their comment because as soon as they speak their mind they are attacked. Another Person said that she didnt comment in here because of the attacks of the "super royalist". If i talked trash my comment would be published. Speak for yourself. You should also see my comment ob other posts of this royal family to see how " positive " they are. If you talked about me check my comment first. It should be easy. I barely never comment in here. Happy birthday to the former king of spain.

At the same time, anyone has the right to refuse to join that discussion and turn a blind eye on any real or supposed abuse of taxpayer's money. Both are valid attitudes and it seems obvious to me none should be "rewarded" with hostile and condescending remarks.<br />Secondly, we have a saying in our family: anything you read online proves nothing but you have internet access. Of course there are sources we commonly accept as reliable and if someone links a photo of someone coming out of a luxury shop with branded bags I guess we can agree on there was some shopping in there. The same with royal households' websites or serious media outlets, they are generally reliable.<br />As for private fortunes: there are less trustworthy sources than you would think. It's crystal clear it's their essential interest to keep as much under wraps as they can. From the typical beggar friends to conmen or savage republicanist there are thousand type of enemies who could benefit from exact infos. We have basic information, good enough to reason with in a general discussion but not to discuss or compare exact figures.<br />A few examples: Marie of Denmark comes from a wealthy upper-middle class family. Claire of Luxembourg too. Which one's family was/is richer? We won't be able to tell. Mary however comes from more humble surroundings and admittedly left several mortages, still unpaid when she married Fred, in AU. Mathilde too comes from a noble but poorer family (there was a controversy in Belgium bc Mathilde paid a series of her father's loans after she married Philip). Now, who was poorer at the moment of their wedding? Again, we won't tell.<br />Born royals themselves of course have their personal fortune, some of them bigger, other lesser bits. These are mainly concentrated in the monarch's hand, crown princes and crown princesses normally have a fraction of that and the spares (the likes of Carl Philip and Madeleine) even less. William and Harry are no fair game for comparisons in this, they are not in the first line of succession, that would be Charles and they inherited a relatively vast fortune from Diana "thanks" to her unfortunately early death (she would have probably spent quite a lot of that by now would she still be well and alive).<br />Apanages: I don't even understand the issue here. Anyone who is part of the royal household as a family member of the monarch in any of the monarchies gets some apanage, per head. That is, in Sweden: apart from the king himself Silvia, Victoria, Daniel, Carl Philip, Sofia and Madaleine. Their children included. Chris O'Neill DOES NOT get anything from either the king's personal money or taxpayer's money. Everyone else does get taxpayer's money since the royal household gets roughly $7 million each year from the Swedish state as appanage for the Court Administration (it's for travels, personal expenses, court admin personnel like dresser, secretary etc. They receive an additional $6.5 million for Palace Administration, upkeeping of their residences and the royal collections). Then they have an income from the lease and rent of royal properties.<br />It's all there on kungahuset.seZLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277591794820799985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-74349045500411738302017-01-05T15:32:18.726+00:002017-01-05T15:32:18.726+00:00This is my last post now, but the Swedish royals o...This is my last post now, but the Swedish royals own themselves a big villa at French Riviera where they stay. They have owned it already some generations. <br /><br />About Ebba Brahe earrings: Very modern and I like them. I had really not noticed them before because Sofia had her hair then down and earrings vere not that visible. I did find ExpressenΒ΄s story and did read and listen it. Ebba Brahe is Swedish designer and I think Swedish royals are doing fine work when wearing Swedish design. Price of the earrings was 2 729 EUR what is of course a lot of money for a commoner but is nothing when compared to real fine (or old jewels they have in vaults) jewelry. I remember a week when Charlene had in two days earrings worth 4 million β¬. When I read and listened the Expressen story, there were no mention who bought them or did anybody bough them at all. Price was mentioned but it was not any big deal in that article.Blondiinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00023296581379404384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-79944402151677822542017-01-05T15:20:58.531+00:002017-01-05T15:20:58.531+00:00Why some people can't comprehend that royaltie...Why some people can't comprehend that royalties have enormous wealth.

Those sources you claim to know, I know for a fact that you don't. They always have great things to say about the Swedish royal familym They follow their lifestyle and you never see them trying to knit pick about how much their clothes cost. Really, like blondiini and Chelsea have said why do you care so much? Who cares if she had 2 cars when she got married the blue electric car was a MITSUBISHI for God sakes it's not like she's driving around Sweden in a Rolls Royce. I Don't understand why you even come on this blog because all you do is talk trash about the Swedish royals!

The cars comments it's just a sequence of comments!<br /><br />I don't know what are you talking about. No one comment about cars by commenting on the photo! I comment something different "Agree.people counted the number of assigments and they are in the bottom. .."<br />In fact the person Lassie, remove her comment because people like you that can take facts. The poor woman had to remove her comment! <br /><br />"Comments that are moderated will be reviewed before posting. " All the comments here were moderated. Lassie didn't said anything bad neither did i. People are attacked because they speak their mind. VERY sad! The initial comment here about assignments NOT cars!

You can click on the link to see how much they cost. <br />If you search photos taken right after the annoucement of her pregnancy, there's planty of photos of her leaving home with the car. Plus you can go to "Expressen" and other blogs as well. With the eletric car, "Expressen" publish the news about the electric car as well. If you went to their archives to can see the article with links and everything. Foreign media, tabloids, also publish the material. You can search. The website that did the math about the clothes bought and everything is called theroyalsandi. It's a quit respected blog. MEntioned by international media as well :) So I do have sources :)<br />All the money as to come from somewhere, she has no personal fortune and CP does not have fortune so big that he can afford a super luxurous lifestyle and paid for her lifestyle as well. The numbers you are talking about are not enough to support a luxury by itself all this years. If was true that they barely received any money, why wouldn't the king give that info? Knowing that, the people would be quit happy i imagine. Perhaps because he doesnt want people to know. Raquel Alveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573872984895996502noreply@blogger.com
