A real, live princess!

Excuse me for being unimpressed, but -- so what?

Uh, she's gorgeous?

Well, yeah, but so are many non-titled women.

Well, I guess I'll just have to accept that it's unimpressive. I've tried twice and after waiting about 10 minutes each time that site just won't load. (ohgodiwishtheywouldhurryupandgetbroadbandinmyarea)

Well, yes, she's gorgeous AND has a title, so the title is a nice bonus. She's actually CROWN Princess Victoria, in that she's the heir apparent: she'd be the first reigning Queen of Sweden since Queen Christina abdicated in the 17th century. After her, Sweden instituted the Salic law, i.e., no female succession; this was eliminated some time in the past few years, so that Victoria stepped ahead in the succession of her younger brother who had previously been Crown Prince.

I'll take Zara Phillips instead, though, even if she is only tenth in line to the British throne.
