It's partly the fault of the pic.
Anyway, 60-70 years ago cosmetic dentistry was not in vogue.
Doubt if braces were invented.
These teeth look OK.

And no - we have not conclusively identified that tiara.

Nellie you're right... I was just being facetious seeing her teeth, I couldn't help myself... afterall, English teeth are famous for the lack of orthodontia they are submitted to, even to this day !!!!

Oh Nellie... this is about to become the biggest jewel mystery ever...!
Is this picture yours, anyway?
I think if George would have helped me to get out of the car... then one would not care to show the teeth either...

Yes Sabbatical - that is my pic.

But let's focus on her good features.

I saved the picture because I loved it.
What a beautiful portrait... there is royal allure on it. Thank you...!

wow that last portrait is exquisite!!! she has quite a regal profile...

Strangely, this Hello has turned into coverage of Queen Mary.

Let's have some more profile shots of her, before a Teck thread starts up.

Hi Nelli, too late I say welcome to the forum! our world of fantasy, this is a haven for all of us love him like a second home.

Thank you Andres. Never too late.

Here is another Queen Mary.

That's so true it hurts, Octavius.

Few people are aware that the Queen thought highly of vigourous calisthenics to keep fit (of which other beldades like Queen Alexandra and the Empress Elisabeth were more known).

Aerobics were her life! In fact, Queen Mary was considered the royal Jane Fonda of her time.




A practise she continued well into later life.

I cannot think of a better thread to introduce myself to Dinastias, than (the incomparable) Nellie's "Hello" one. Not only is it perfectly named, but it also highlights a royal lady who embodies everything that is right and true about the forum's main topic.



I am Maravilha, British by birth, American by emigration.

I have travelled to and lived in more lands than I can possibly count, and therefore have picked up many languages, including my soon-to-be-unveiled Spanish.

It is a pleasure to finally land in this forum, after having observed other similar ones lurkingly.

(One forum, which gathers "cotillas" together, seems to be a snake pit of rabid anti-monarchists with a special delight in critiquing the zapatronchos of a certain Spanish consuerte. Yet another, whose special topic is the Romanovs, is a gold mine of photographs, but fatigues one due to insipid replies and backhanded courtesies)

The key in Dinastias is not reverence for royalty, or thoughtless criticism either, but a mixture of sophistication and fun, which the word "civilised" suspiciously resembles.

If this means that I must trot out my ill-used Spanish in order to be a (miniscule) part of this forum, then I'm as game as Queen Mary working out on HMS Ophir.

P.S.: I have great teeth.

Maravilha welcome...!
Your post is a maravilha indeed... I am still laughing with the Jane Fonda of her time (grin)

I hope you will have fun posting with us. Your comments regarding our forum are really an honour for us...! Thanks...
