Hi, everyone. I only post 2 or 3 times a year, but I read this board daily. It's a welcome diversion at the end of a busy day and I learn so much from you. I vividly recall reading a short article in my local newspaper in the early 70s about the relationship between The Princess Margaret and Roddy Llewellyn. I was only 7, but I was off to the races. Initially I focused on Buckingham Palace and read everything I could find about it and other royal buildings. The Diana years were extremely heady for many of us, and I think looking at so many pictures of her in the mid 80s got me interested in royal jewels. I was seduced by their beauty and glamour, of course, but I also really liked learning about their history. Eventually I grew up and became a reporter, and got very interested in views about the 'right to privacy' of a royal family and its members ... something I still haven't fully resolved in my mind. I really enjoy this board and think this particular thread has been fun. I love the idea of 'Rachel in IN' ogling the Cullinans as an Amish buggy bounces by. I totally get that; in all things, seek balance. Happy 2012, all -
