ROYAL WOMEN
The difficulties of their lives
Royal duties and engagements
Younger members of the
Royal Family who are
presently in education or
military training - such as
Prince William and Prince
Harry- don’t undertake
official duties full-time, but
often play a role in important
national events and
commemorations.
Every year the Royal Family
as a whole carries out over
2.000 official engagements
throughout the UK and
worldwide.
The Royal Family as a whole
plays a role in strengthening
national unity. Members of the
Royal Family are able to
recognize and participate in
community and local events in
every part of the UK, from the
opening of new buildings to
celebrations or acts of
commemoration.
The Queen working by herself
would be unable to attend
every engagement to which
she is invited. Members of the
Royal Family can undertake
local or specialist
engagements which would be
otherwise have to be declined.
I have to be seen to be believed
2,000: the number
The huge range of these
organizations - covering
every subject from
education to the
environment, hospitals to
housing - allows members
of the Royal Family to
meet people from a wide
spectrum of national and
local life, and to
understand their interests,
problems and concerns.

Icons of style
Style is a way to say who are you without having to speak
Princess Margaret an inspiration for Fashion designers
She was a very
unique figure, with
a sexy attitude.
Whenever one
thinks of her the
association is
mainly with fags,
gins, late night
outs and a potato
couch when she
is back at her
royal suit.
Now when we talk of fashion it is
almost surprising how the
inspirational muses for fashion
designers are stooping so low.
Unexpected but Burberry designer,
Christopher Bailey, has went ahead
to pick up Princess Margaret as his
muse for his most recent collection.
The hunt for style icon is going in
full swing. I just hope that the style
advisers will come up with someone
more graceful.

Princess Diana
A fashion and icon style
“Few people have had an
impact on fashion in the
same way as Princess
Diana. As a public figure, the
Princess’s dress style was
closely scrutinized by the
press and the public. As a
young princess, her clothes
were romantic and demure
but as her confidence grew,
her style developed into that
of an international celebrity:
glamorous, elegant and
completely her own.”
“For Diana, clothes were
part of a charisma captured
in the camera eye. But the
process became
increasingly thought-out and
planned as the Princess
took control of how she was
represented.”
Kate
Middleton
“Duchess Effect”on Fashion
Kate has taken first place on
the annual Fashion
Buzzword List poll yet againthis time thanks to the
popularity of the term “ The
Duchess Effect.” The list is
compiled using a
combination of data
collected from an analysis of
words mentioned on the
Internet, in the blogosphere
and from the top 75.000
print and electronic global
media outlets, as well as
from new media sources as
they emerge.
The Duchess Effect is a
term that has come to
describe anything Kate
wears that goes on to sell
out globally within hours.
Perhaps the most famous
example of the Duchess
Effect was the 475 pounds
navy blue Issa dress Kate
wore when she announced
her engagement to Prince
William.
Kate Middleton
Miss Middleton’s
notable
accessory was
her engagement
ring, the same
worn by Lady
Diana Spencer
upon her
engagement to
Prince Charles.
Style
Her unique style has inspired the ‘Kate Effect’, with
millions of women throughout the world trying to copy
her look.
And last week the US magazine Vanity Fair declared
that the Duchess of Cambridge had topped their bestdressed list for a third time, making the Royal fashion
icon their September cover girl.
Now, a Mail on Sunday survey of outfits worn by the
Duchess in the past two years has revealed the secrets
of her wardrobe. And occasional criticism of her ‘drab’
taste in colors is proved ill-founded as the Duchess
emerges as Kaleidoscope Kate.
Kate refuses to hire a personal stylist and has been
dubbed the Duchess of Thrift because of her habit of
recycling her outfits and buying high street frocks of
America’s leading society magazine as the world’s bestdressed woman. Here, we chart the colours that made
her a global icon.

Kate likes a neutral look, wearing white and cream 16 per cent of the time and grey another 16 per cent of the time

Like the Queen, Kate’s favorite hue is Royal blue, making
up 21 per cent of her color choices. Yes, she also likes a
neutral look, wearing white and cream 16 per cent of the
time and grey another 16 per cent of the time.
But she also goes for bold colors, opting for stark black
and white combinations nine per cent of the time, pink
eight per cent and red seven per cent.
Green is her color choice nine per cent of the time, purple
and black four per cent each, while she has worn brown
or yellow on three per cent of occasions each.

she opted for a Royal blue dress from Reiss

…but, like the Queen,
Kate knows how to
use color to send out a
message.
In Ottawa on Canada
Day she thrilled
crowds by dressing in
the national colours of
red and white and, for
an Olympic exhibition
at the National Portrait
Gallery last month,
she wore a brilliant
blue crepe dress by
British designer Stella
McCartney, who
designed Team GB’s
kit.

Life in the limelight
Pressure from the media
Princess Diana: Editors admit guilt over death
The editors of the three biggest
selling tabloid newspapers at the
time of the death of Diana, Princess
of Wales have disclosed for the first
time their own share of guilt over
the accident that killed her.
The editors of The Sun, Daily Mirror
and News of the World have
conceded that they had helped
create an atmosphere in which the
paparazzi, who were chasing Diana
when her car crashed in a Paris
underpass, were out of control.
NEWS
Mr. Hall, speaking on the ITV1 documentary Diana’s
Last Summer, said: "I felt huge responsibility for what
happened and I think everyone in the media did.
"If the paparazzi hadn’t been following her the car
wouldn’t have been speeding and, you know, the
accident may never have happened."
He said the princess had often tipped off his
newspaper about photo opportunities and invited his
executives to lunch at Kensington Palace. "She
wanted to try to be on the front foot over her media
coverage," he said.
After the death of the princess in Aug 1997, the
tabloids said they would ban photographs taken by
the paparazzi.
The Sunday Mirror bought the paparazzi pictures,
published three weeks before the princess’s death,
which first showed the seriousness of her liaison
with Dodi Fayed and encouraged the Paris chase.
Stuart Higgins, who edited The Sun, told The Daily
Telegraph: "The death of Princess Diana was the
most tragic story during my period as editor. I have
often questioned my role, the paper’s role and the

Kate Middleton’s Nude Photo Scandal: a Royal invasion of privacy
Princess
Kate and Prince
William faced the dark
side of royal life as
topless photos taken of
her with a long-lens
camera as she
sunbathed at a private
estate in the South of
France during a
romantic getaway go
viral.
As Will and Kate continued their tour of Asia, they could rest assured that the "anger and disbelief," as a
source described it to PEOPLE, felt by their relatives – especially the Queen – was not directed at them. "The
rest of the royal family are most definitely supporting them in everything that they are doing," says a Palace
source. Adds Ken Wharfe, a former bodyguard to Princess Diana: "If this were Fergie, [the Queen] would be
livid. But this is top-drawer royalty: a favorite grandson and his beautiful wife. They live in another world."
The rich and the famouspersonal dramas and traumas
Wallace
Simpson
Duchess of Windsor’s secret letter
Her affair with Edward, however, eventually spiralled
beyond even her control. Not because she was
passionately in love with him — but because her desperate
pleas to be released were met with emotional blackmail.
If she tried to leave him, the prince told her, he would either
kill himself or pursue her to the ends of the earth.
In the end, Wallis had little choice. But even after she
married him and became the Duchess of Windsor, she
never lost her affection for Ernest Simpson, her beloved
second husband.
Significantly, she kept writing to him. And some
intimate letters, which have only recently come
to light, reveal that even when the world
imagined that Wallis had triumphed, she was
beset by fears and regrets
The truth about Mrs Simpson was that Wallis
never wanted to marry her king.
Princess
Margaret
Countess of a Snowdon- scarred by a forbidden love
Townsend felt he could not expect the Princess to make the
necessary sacrifices and when they met he realised she
had come to the same conclusion. "We had reached the
end of the road," wrote Townsend. "Our feelings for one
another were unchanged but they had incurred for us a
burden so great that we decided, together, to lay it down."
On October 27, Margaret told Archbishop of Canterbury Dr
Geoffrey Fisher of her decision and four days, on October
31, issued her historic statement.
The Princess said: "I would like it to be known that I have
decided not to marry Group Captain Peter Townsend.
Mindful that Christian marriage is indissoluble and
conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth, I have
resolved to put these considerations before others."
Conclusion
England has seen many changes during the Queen’s sixty-year reign and not surprisingly, its
citizens have emerged with indifference to the monarchy. Headline stories of their saga used to sell
millions of copy, but today’s market just won’t tolerate misbehaving, pampered royal princes and
princesses. Through it all, whenever the palace is perceived as being a superfluous tourist attraction,
the Queen has retaliated by gently nudging her way back into the heart of her people.
CONCLUSION
In 2006, the Queen once again granted public
access to her life with a documentary series,
"Monarchy, The Royal Family at Work". Currently
being re-shown on PBS, this exclusive fly-on-thewall series looks at the Queen in her day to day role
as the head of the royal family and offers insights to
all the minute details that go into making a monarchy
function. Perhaps generated in reaction to the public
outcry to get rid of the lavish royal lifestyle at the
taxpayers’ expense, this series is carefully crafted to
show hundreds of people who are employed behind
the scenes in the daily tasks of running Buckingham
Palace. Although the Queen is still standing firm as
the head of the monarchy, this duo is peering over
the heads of the critics and anticipate with absolute
certainty of fulfilling the roles that await them.
