I love visiting Harewood House, as a paying guest I might add, though I suppose next time it will probably not feel the same. I obviously did not know him as I don't move in those circles, but I am sure he will be missed within the local community and beyond. My sympathies to the family & everyone at the house.

Anyone else see a resemblance between HRH the Princess Royal (mary) and Zara Phillips? Especially in the face?

Oh yes, absolutely!

Has anyone else noticed the resemblence between little Lady Louise, Prince Edward's daughter, and Princess Mary when she was a little girl? I noticed it upon seeing photos of Lady Louise this Easter online.She was dressed in an old fashioned style( a bit like like George V's children when young) and her hair was in a style like Princess Mary when she was little, but still, they do look quite alike.I don't know if it is something most people would notice, but when you see colorized portraits of a young Princess Mary, you see it even more, very like coloring.
