Other British Royals and Relations

[Mouse]

Prince Michael is the Queen's first cousin. Princess Michael (nee Marie-Christine von Reibnitz) is his wife. He doesn't seem to do much of anything. She, in addition to all her other stupid moves, has tried writing history books and been accused of plagiarism.

Ah, Princess Pushy. She'll open supermarkets and anything else that brings in a paycheque.

I wonder if anyone has suggested the Rent-a-Kents get, you know, regular jobs?

[nitenurse]

But, but, she's ROYALTY.

I think he used to be an officer, but other than that I got nada.

The husband met him a few years back at a regimental thingie and said he seemed to be really human and a good laugh?!

You know how men tend to date a different version of a previous girlfriend? Lord Linley used to date Susannah Constantine, of Trinny and Susannah fame. If you see pics of Suz when she was younger and Serena, the looks are similar. Susannah 2.0 hehehe.

The Queen’s cousin, Prince Michael, appears willing to use his royal status to seek favours from Russian president Putin, & use a royal palace & his links to the Queen for personal profit

Very Interesting thread and I’ve got the Docu set to record on Monday.

YIKES. This makes Sophie being caught by a fake sheik who was actually a News of the World reporter seem tame.

I just read his wiki, and then followed the rabbit trail of his family tree to see where those Windsor bug eyes came from. It for sort of hard to tell when it gets into portraiture, but I think we can blame it on John Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach.

And I didn't know Prince Michael was an actor. That explains so much.

I thought the bulging eyes came from Queen Victoria. Talk about peepers.

Speaking of Princess Michael, her son’s looks/eyes always struck me as creepy. I don’t know why. I forget his name, but he’s married to the actress Sophie Winkleman.

It almost seems inevitable that this is what a "consulting" business is going to entail when your primary qualification is just being rich and royal.

It's really sickening that despite being the most privileged people in the world, the royals are still so incredibly money-grubbing. Andrew, Fergie (who has pulled the same thing), Michael and his awful wife - they all need to be put of commission.

I hope it's true that when Charles takes over he intends to make dramatic gestures to streamline. It would be very satisfying to see people like the Kents get their HRH's removed and get kicked out of Kensington Palace (where they are living for free).
