Clotilde Courau, Princess of Venice and Piedmont, at the Cannes Film Festival

Clotilde Courau, the actress-turned-Princess yet still an actress attended the Cannes Film Festival on May 13th and 14th. The first time was to attend the premiere of the film "Polisse" and the second one, to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". 

All the meters of textile that she had cleaning the floor on the second day could have been a good fit for her first outfit for its lack thereof.

Royalty vs Hollywood: The Queen's obvious younger twin would be...

Well, I do not think they look alike at all but what I do think is that Helen Mirren did a marvellous job being The Queen in the eponymous movie in 2006 - by the way, just looking at her made me want to watch the movie again - and I found it delightful to see pictures of them together, at a celebration for Young Talent that happened in Buckingham. The flashmob that occurred yesterday was also part of this event.

Royalty vs Hollywood: Crown Prince Frederik's older twin brother would be...

I was watching the documentary "The Kingdom behind the Scenes" on SBS (Australia) today when I saw in a few closer shots of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, with his greying hair, reminding me of one of my favorite actors: Aidan Quinn. You can either agree or not, it's a bit difficult to compare in photographs, but next time you see CP Fred in movement, think about it. Or you won't need to think about it, it will come naturally.

Happy Birthday, princess Letizia!

And yes, in my previous question, Letizia and Felipe's wedding balcony scene was the correct answer.

Today, CP Letizia is 38 years old! Happy Birthday!

(so many birthdays, lately!)
