The Merry Royals is in a nice site to visit to see what's going on with the British Royals. Sometimes there are stories and photos of others, but it is mainly just British.

there's no thread for the bahraini royals, so i put this here because i found it so interesting and unusual.

http://www.royaltyinthenews.com/2009/07 ... cover-cop/

*Sheikha Noora bint Ibrahim al-Khalifa is a member of the ruling family of Bahrain. She is also an undercover police officer, working for her country’s anti-narcotics division. This makes her the first royal, and woman, to work as a plainclothes officer in the Gulf nation.

i'm not sure which makes it more trailblazer worthy? first woman or first royal......

I didn't start a thread for them because rarely do you ever read an article on them or see a photo. This is a goog place to put this article.

MEOW

*quotes

*A royal soap opera

*What would happen if you put the cast of Footballers’ Wives in charge of a country? To find out, look no further than Monaco

*And what a royal family they are. His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, the only incumbent head of state in the world to have reached the North Pole, can also claim the more dubious honour of having faced three paternity cases

*As the “playboy prince” is still unmarried, the constitution had to be changed. (their words and quotes not mine)

* it’s hard to imagine the Grimaldis in charge of anything, let alone a country where property is worth $68,000 per square metre. There may be more money than sense flying around

* Sickeningly beautiful and dizzyingly rich they may be, but with family like that – really?

A Princess has died. :(

Forty-eight hours ago, from India came the news that Gayatri Devi, the Rajmata of Jaipur had died at age 90. Born Princess Gayatri, she was ever known as Ayesha. As you will read in her obituary of her in today’s Telegraph of London, she was the granddaughter of the Maharajah of Cooch-Behar and the Maharajah of Jodhpur, as well as the wife of the Maharajah of Jaipur. Prominent in the last days of the Raj, she was famous in her own country as well as a fixture in international society. Later in life when she became active in Indian politics she gained a new fame.
