CaliforniaMama Thursday Jun 7 10:41 AMThis is one of the most beautiful old-time pictures I have seen. I love the way the Prince and his wife and baby are posed, forming a perfect triangle, yet maintaining a very natural tableau.

But, then again, I've seen and heard enough about Teh Queen this past week or so.
