Thanks for sharing your insights.
To me it sounds like you see a sort of 'competition', like the one between Diana of Wales and Caroline of Monaco, the one between Charlotte Casiraghi and Madeleine of Sweden and you concluded "it seems Charlotte has won".
In my humble opinion there is no competition at all. Why would Diana 'battle' with Caroline? Any competition between Charlotte Casiraghi and Princess Madeleine is also just an invention of the media, I think. The first one is not even a Princess at all.
In essence Camilla, Mette-Marit, Mary, Máxima, Mathilde, Stéphanie, Charlène, Sophie and Letizia share the same position as female spouse to an European Heir. For the rest there are differences in age, in personalities, in appearances, in media interest and for sure also in the possibilities to 'pack out'. All these ladies seem to stand on very good terms with each other. I don't think in competitions, other than on these boards: who had the best jewels, had the nicest dress, etc.
