It’s almost scary how much they looked alike

“I wonder if George V ever felt guilty and regret for not saving his cousin Tsar Nicholas II and his family. Maybe that’s why Queen Mary started to collect Russian tiaras and other royal items like clothes, jewels, and paintings after the tragic deaths of the Romanovs.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Someone once pointed out to me that Allison looks a lot like she could be Charles and Diana’s daughter. If you look closely at her eyes and mouth.

“Someone online suggested Charlotte might grow up to look like Allison Williams, and I can kind of see it. In some ways Allison does look like William, and in other ways like Kate.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Her makeup is much darker than she’s been wearing it lately. She use to wear it kinda like this but hasn’t since before Louis.

ROYAL FANDOM:

We’ve created royalfandombackup, a way for us to keep track of alternate blogs, important edits, and blog termination/deletion within the royal fandom.  

A few things:

Send us a message if you want to be added to the list.  Include in the message your current URL, what your backup URL will be in case of deletion, and your name (just in case people don’t remember URLs!)

Use a DIFFERENT EMAIL for your backup blog than you do for your main blog.  Create an entirely new email if you have to, but make sure your backup blog and main blog are not linked in any way!

If you’ve decided to not return in the event of deletion, please let us know anyway - we don’t want anyone being left in the dark!

We’ll be keeping this blog visible beyond the Dashboard and visible to Google searches.  We’ll also keep anonymous on.  Anyone who does not have a tumblr, or who gets deleted, will be able to see what we have here, and message us if necessary.

IF YOU’RE DELETED, let us know ASAP.  We’ll let everyone know that the original blog has been deleted and we’ll spread the word about your new blog!

I’ve created a section of the blog for reblogs of important edits just in case they’re lost.  They’ll be tagged and organized by the URL of the original poster.  If you’d like for us to back up your edits by reblogging, just tag us in the original post and I’ll take care of it.

We’ve all dedicated significant time to our blogs over the years, and I’d hate for any work/content/friendships to vanish without a trace!  We can’t stop them from deleting our blogs but we can stop them from taking everything!

If you guys have any other ideas, let me know!  

Reblog to spread the word!

Alice was born 12 July 1984 at 11:35 CEST at Drottningham Palace and is a member of the Swedish Royal Family from the house of Bernadotte.

Princess Ingrid of Denmark

Princess Ingrid of Denmark (Ingrid Margrethe Alexandrine; born 18 July 1979) is the youngest child and only daughter of Queen Margrethe II and the late Prince Henrik. Ingrid is the eleventh in the line of succession to the Danish throne, following her two elder brothers, and their children. 

Early Life

Princess Ingrid was born on 18 July 1979 at Amalienborg in Copenhagen, unlike her elder brothers who were born at Rigshospitalet the Copenhagen University Hospital. Ingrid is the third child but the only daughter of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and the late Prince Henrik. 

Ingrid was christened on October 27, 1979, at Aahaus Cathedral. Her godparents were her maternal aunt, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, Prince Charles of Wales, her paternal aunt, Maurille Beauvillian de Monpezat and King Constantine II of Greece. 

Education

The Princess’ education was very similar to that of her mother’s growing up. She began by being educated by private tutors until she moved to N. Zahle’s School. Ingrid would then move on to England to attend Cambridge University. She would finally obtain her degree in international affairs at St. Andrew’s in Scotland. 

Relationships 

Princess Ingrid was rumored to be in several relationships due to the amount of media attention she received while away at school in England. There was speculation of a relationship between Ingrid and her godbrother, Prince William of Wales, a close friend named Liam Henderson and Guy Pelly. Her relationship with her husband Anthony Wallenberg, son of Jacob Wallenberg and member of the Wallenberg Family, wasn’t confirmed until a year before their engagement was announced when they were seen kissing on an Italian vacation. The length of the relationship was kept a secret until a documentary was made about the Wallenberg family in 2010. The documentary made it clear that the princess and the banking heir had been together for four years before marrying in 2002. 

After announcing their engagement, in September 2001, with the permission of the Queen, they married at the Copenhagen Cathedral. The ceremony took place on the 15th of April, 2002. Anthony chose against taking a dukedom when they married but was given the title of Prince so that he could work as a part-time royal while still maintaining his royal in his family business. 

The pair has five children together named Harold, Sebastian, Leopold and Emilia ranging from two to thirteen. 

Activism 

Princess Ingrid takes apart in many organizations, missions, and charities. She’s most known most notably for her work in human rights internationally. In 2006, she established the Compassion Foundation for humanitarian aid across the globe. The foundation works with other programs to provide education for girls, global hunger aid an anti-sex trafficking campaigns.
