Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

I bet that was Wallis Simpson's - it looks very 'her' and it is blue.

Thank you Lucca

Guess whose wedding dress this was!

I admire Anne. She was very beautiful when she was young. I think her wedding dress was lovely but I didn’t like the sleeves. Diana’s dress was of it’s time, I liked Fergie’s dress, I liked Catherine’s and Meghan’s, but I didn’t like the emphasis on the bra/bosom bit on Catherine’s. I thought Meghan’s dress could have been very slightly tighter to fit her to its best advantage. I loved Eugenie’s dress, especially the back, and I thought Beatrice’s dress was absolutely lovely and so unusual. It was a lovely idea to use her Grandma’s dress and alter it.
The niece of Diana who got married at the weekend wore a lovely dress. I liked it all except the high, puffed shoulders and the high neck.
I don’t suppose any of them give one jot what any of us think though. Which I’d good, because every bride should look beautiful on her wedding day, wearing the dress of her dreams, and whether she smiles or she doesn’t smile.

I believe you have every reason/excuse though Fanny.

I thought it was Einstein and Marilyn Monroe…

Lucca I am quite literally twice the woman I was! It’s really quite astonishing

I thought that was Winston Churchill

FC, I never really thought about it. Children’s looks are a bit like brains.
A combination of 2 first class degrees doesn’t always mean the children will be clever. Sometimes the children get a combo of the least attractive features or weakest skills and sometimes, they’re just not photogenic.

I knew a family and both parents were very, very plain but both children were just beautiful.

Mine, thank goodness, do not take after me. ?

Didn't some woman gush at Albert Einstein , "We should have a child together, with my looks and your brain!" He replied, "But, madam, what if it gets my looks and your brain?"

Callistemon she’s the same dress size as she was in her twenties! ?

Aren’t we all ???. Actually I am (for my Late twenties) but differently distributed and definitely wobblier

And me, but I was very pregnant at the time.

Yes, Anne looked absolutely gorgeous; she was an incredibly beautiful woman.
It’s a shame she doesn’t make ‘more of herself, now. She’s got all the raw material - it seems a terrible waste!

Anne is not a glamour puss but she is still very slim, smart and has lovely skin. She does her own hair and makeup, wears all her old clothes which are altered to update them. She looks the business! Someone to admire.

I think it's the heavier features that maybe render royal Germanic faces less attractive, especially in photos.

What about this one? Looks kind of sack like ?

It was very fashionable at the time!

So are Germanic Europeans maybe less attractive in general?

Got to be a matter of opinion surely ? Generalising hugely I think Italians Spaniards are good looking more often but then so are Scandinavians.

And just quickly to clarify , before anyone spoils Fanny's thread, I am talking more about DNA and physical attributes in Germanic Europeans. Nothing to do with Germans etc.

And yes, Anne’s hair does her no favours, but she can do it herself very easily apparently, and good on her for not caring what others think.

I admire her greatly.

Speaking as a very ordinary looking person myself.

Andrew- handsome when young.

Queen Mother- rather plain all her life.

Margaret- Stunning in some of the photos Snowden took of her.

The Queen- not beautiful, but always lovely looking. Great hair and skin even in her 90’s. And yes, I know they have everything at their disposal to keep them looking good, but why not?
