6. Colin Firth.
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 03:53 PM by calimary
And Helen Mirren.

And I must say I do like the real-life Elizabeth II. Frankly, also I've always kind of liked Prince Charles. Always felt bad for him for the life he had to lead, having to stand there and shake hands with his mom when he was a little tyke and she'd just arrived back from some long trip. He never got the kind of life he really wanted, and only recently did he ever actually get a life with the woman he really loved all this time.

8. I actually dated a prince once.
Well, one from a deposed house. No money, either. :( Still... :D

I really like Prince Harry, but also his mother Diana.

28. My husband...
descended from English and French minor nobility. His family has been in America since the early 17th century, thus no claims to land or property(not that he would make them).

How about the Royal Tenenbaums or a Royal Flush. Seriously, all of the royal coverage has been a royal pain in the ass.
