Friday Prince Blogging

His Royal and Imperial Highness Amedeo Marie Joseph Carl Pierre Philippe Paola Marcus d'Aviano, Prince of Belgium (since 1991), Prince Imperial and Archduke of Austria-Este, Prince Royal of Hungary and Bohemia. He's 6th in line to the Belgian throne. Must be hard to be so young and have a name so long.

I hope he's not as rowdy as Harry Windsor. Belgians seem a sensible lot.

Paul, what's up with the princes? Princes here, princes there, princes everywhere.

No more reason than people posting cats on Fridays. Then again, I'm partial to eye candy. There are some more mature ones coming up too. (Because of the eye candy criterion HRH the Prince of Wales might not show, though.)

Jane R suggested a more democratic label. Though I have no desire for aristocratic government in the U.S., thank you very much, there is usually a nice combination in the royal houses of good education, athleticism, and some fine features. In other words, they're dishy, as indicated below.

I hope they don't induce eye strain for you, and you can always scroll past them in hopes of finding substance, but there is no guarantee of substance. I am of an erratic nature.

No, no! I think they're cute. Don't mind a bit of eye candy myself.

You mean that you don't think Charles is cute? I don't either. He never was, poor bloke.

I'm going to have to get a Friday meme. It seems almost everyone has one.

It took me long enough to come up with one. I have allowed my critters (some would call them stuffed animals; I call them my children) out for a few romps here but think I should leave that broad genre to the good Padre.

I think Carlos de Galles (Charles of Wales) is a very good chap and I'd trade Bush for him and throw in Cheney in a heartbeat. We'd have more democracy under Charles than we have under that lot.

You will surely come up with something très du bayou, ma petite, and I hope it's designed to annoy the MP. He has a whopping account of insults receivable. (Though I am fond of him too, in spite of his madness. Well, more probably because of it. We may share the same disease.)
