I am afraid this is the way of the modern world, normalil. It is intended to make it sound more interesting, although all it does is to devalue the regalness and makes everything seem trivial.
I would not be at all surprised if she was to come out with tha names of the Tsars on first name terms. eg Alex, Pete and Nick. If she had, it would have made me cringe even more than I did cringe, but we cannot push the tide of the modern world back single handed, can we?
@junderscorewmurphy I agree junderscorewmurphy. You made a very interesting and true comment, with which i agree wholeheartedly. Thanks for your reply.
@normalil Dear normalil, what does contemporary society understand of Refinement, Grace, Elegance and Dignity.... One can only expect such vacuous and classless commentary from a member today's banal society....
But for some of us, Royal Hauteur and refined Elegance and Dignity still lives on in our Hearts.
@PinXmas The display in the Hermitage was really gorgeous and very well done. I spent the entire day there and simply loved it. There was an atmosphere of reverence and wonder at all the Imperial and majestic refinement, beauty and elegant opulence. To be honest, I dressed regally for the occasion, so as to fit in with the theme and dignity of the beautiful display and atmosphere, and as a result felt right at home. It was just gorgeous....
I agree, "glad rags", I think not!

@wolfgang0070 I agree. I would like to actually see the costumes. I hate MTV style camera tricks. :(
