I was only on the Big Island during my stay on Mauna Kea, but I hope to go back with my husband some day and see more. What is your favorite island?

The Big Island is my favorite and that''s where I live. LOL!

I enjoyed Mauna Kea obviously (was there for 4 days), spent a couple of hours in Hilo, two days at Volcano, two days in Kona, and visited my husband''s cousin in Waimea. I know my husband would like to visit Pearl Harbor some day, and if I could pull it off, I''d love to see Ni''ihau!

When it comes to theatre "royalty" I think one story that comes to mind is "Phantom of the Opera." It is the longest running show on Broadway. While the stage musical doesn''t have much with jewelry, the 2004 movie certainly did. Minnie Driver played the role of Carlotta, the diva soprano. She wore a fabulous necklace made by Swarvoski.

The sequel to Phantom, called "Love Never Dies" recently opened in London. The reviews were mixed...I''ve got the CD and think it''s amazing. For this stage muscial, the female lead gets to wear an impressive necklace as well.

Josefine, I''m still waiting for the summary of Familjen Bernadotte part 1. Here''s a link to the second part for everyone interested - Familjen Bernadotte del 2.

Josefine, I''d ask to do a short summary of part 2 when you have time. This time I''d like to understand what Pss Christina, the Overhovmastarinna and Queen Margrethe II said. Queen Silvia was asked about her fater''s Nazi paest, but she didn''t say much. What did she say? Also what did Victoria and Madeleine said about their mother?

Thanks in advance,
Bobby

this is for the second part

the first part i have trubble to see.

She was brought up strict, when meeting boys her brothers were always with her.

Victoria says that her mother hade high demands on her self. And it was not easy for her, a new country with new traditions new language. She talks about her mother new life in the public. And maybe that Silvia did not get the help she actually needed.

For her becoming queen of Sweden were hard there were no thought about her being women at court. When she asked for advice or help people at court said as the queen wishes. All she wanted were some direction.

queen''s father, Walther Sommerlath, joined the Nazi party''s foreign wing, the NSDAP/AO, in 1934, when he was living in Brazil and working for a German steel company.
saying that his only part of the War was his work at the arms factory in Berlin.

Silvia says that her father were "Not politically active"
- He had a factory in Berlin. 1935 or 1936 arrived in Germany. And since he father had a factory so he was not authorized to leave Germany

- It was a machinery. He was not politically active. He was not a soldier. He had responsibility for employees in the factory. So he was never politically active. And they went against. Then it was against the whole machinery.

Made membrane
The factory that his father took between 1939 and 1943 have also been accused of producing armaments, which denies the queen of the program.

- He had a factory for electrical stuff. he made the electric trains for children and hairdryers and such things. Then he received orders to manufacture membrane gas masks to civilians.

Queen of Denmark said that her mother queen Ingrid liked Silvia instant. She like silvias understanding and effort to be of service.

Princess Christina talks about the Swedish relations Silvia had before meeting the king and visited Sweden as young. Her father worked for the Swedish company Uddeholm.’ They thought it were a good match. And the family were very interested in this women there brother had met. Christians husband know people at Uddeholm and the family thought is was not a big deal with this women a Olympian hostess.

Happy birthday to Prince Moulay Hassan of Morocco. Here is his 7th birthday party with his parents and sister. His mother, Princess Lalla Salma, has an impressively long pair for earrings on for the party!

 

[LadyMaria]

Here is a more formal portrait of Princess Lalla Salma wearing an impressive turquoise (at least that''s my best guess) choker and a pair of earrings that make my earlobes hurt just looking at them!

Personally, I like her hair down better.
