“When I think of old-time royal elegance, the image I think of is the photograph of Duchess Marina of Kent and her sister Princess Olga, together on the staircase, during the wedding of Queen Sofia of Spain in 1962. These two ladies were refined, I think they inherited it from their maternal grandmother, Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna” - Submitted by Anonymous

A Royal Life by HRH Duke of Kent & Hugo Vickers #HouseofWindsor #BookReview #Audiobook
I finally got around to listening to the #Dukeofkent's memoir recently. A cousin to the late #QueenElizabethII, he has also led a life of service. Famed royal historian #HugoVickers helped put together this book. #houseofwindsor #ARoyalLife #bookreview
HRH The Duke of Kent has been at the heart of the British Royal Family throughout his life. As a working member of the Royal Family, he has supported his cousin, The Queen, representing her at home and abroad. His royal duties began when, in 1952, at the age of sixteen, he walked in the procession behind King George VI’s coffin, later paying homage to The Queen at her Coronation in 1953. Since…

Happy 87th birthday to Princess Alexandra!
Born on 25 December 1936, Alexandra Helen Elizabeth Olga Christabel; born 25 December 1936) is the only surviving granddaughter of George V and a first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II through her father Prince George, Duke of Kent. Alexandra's mother was Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark. At the time of her birth, she was sixth in the line of succession to the British throne; as of 2023, she is 57th.
On 24 April 1963, she married The Hon. Angus James Bruce Ogilvy, at Westminster Abbey. Angus Ogilvy declined the Queen's offer to be created an earl upon marriage, so their children carry no titles. Angus Ogilvy was knighted in 1988 (when Princess Alexandra assumed the style of The Hon. Lady Ogilvy).
Princess Alexandra and Angus Ogilvy had two children, James Robert Bruce Ogilvy (born 29 February 1964) and Marina Victoria Alexandra Ogilvy (born 31 July 1966) and four grandchildren: Flora Ogilvy (29), Alexander Ogilvy (27), Zenouska Mowatt (33) and Christian Mowatt (30).
Beginning in the late 1950s, Princess Alexandra carried out an extensive programme of engagements in support of the Queen, both in the United Kingdom and overseas. Taking part in roughly 120 engagements each year, Princess Alexandra was one of the most active members of the royal family. She made 110 engagements in 2012. However, in late June 2013, she cancelled her engagements due to arthritis.

3. Crown Princess Cecilie of Prussia.

THE EUROVISION 2024 RANKING!
The time has finally come for me to rank the Eurovision songs we have this year. But before I do, I do want to make a couple of points because there are, I feel, a couple important comments that need to be made.
For one, you'll notice that I ranked only 35 countries while the list has 37 songs. There are 2 countries that should not be competing this year, and I decided not to include them in my ranking or any other posts I make here on Aijamisespava, especially as a heavily opinion-based platform. Second, this was a REALLY hard year to rank. So if you see a song ranked super low, it's not that I hate it (I don't really hate any of these songs), it's just I liked some more than others. And finally, I won't be providing explanations for my rankings quite yet. I have a fun 2023 vs. 2024 post for next week planned where I will explain things.
Ready? Set? Here are the first Aijamisespava Eurovision Rankings!
35. Finland: "No Rules!" by Windows95Man
34. Latvia: "Hollow" by Dons
33. Albania: "Titan" by Besa
32. Cyprus: "Liar" by Silia Kapsis
31. Ireland: "Doomsday Blue" by Bambie Thug
30. Luxembourg: "Fighter" by Tali
29. Sweden: "Unforgettable" by Marcus & Martinus
28. Netherlands: "Europapa" by Joost Klein
27. Austria: "We Will Rave" by Kaleen
26. Australia: "One Milkali (One Blood)" by Electric Fields
25. Iceland: "Scared Of Heights" by Hera Björk
24. Germany: "Always On The Run" by Isaak
23. Malta: "Loop" by Sarah Bonnici
22. Czechia: "Pedestal" by Aiko
21. Moldova: "In The Middle" by Natalia Barbu
20. United Kingdom: "Dizzy" by Olly Alexander
19. Spain: "Zorra" by Nebulossa
18. Greece: "Zari" by Marina Satti
17. Portugal: "Grito" by Iolanda
16. Armenia: "Jako" by Ladaniva
15. Estonia: "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" by 5MIINUST & PUULUUP
14. Italy: "La Noia" by Angelina Mango
13. Ukraine: "Teresa & Maria" by alyona alyona/Jerry Heil
12. Denmark: "Sand" by Saba
11. Switzerland: "The Code" by Nemo
10. France: "Mon Amour" by Slimane
9. Poland: "The Tower" by Luna
8. Lithuania: "Luktelk" by Silvester Belt
7. Georgia: "Firefighter" by Nusta
6. Slovenia: "Veronika" by Raiven
5. San Marino: "11:11" by Megara
4. Norway: "Ulveham" by Gåte
3. Croatia: "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" by Baby Lasagna
2. Serbia: "Ramonda" by Teya Dora
1. Belgium: "Before The Party's Over" by Mustii
Final Verdict: This year started off a tad underwhelming. Maybe this was my saltiness at my national final winners not winning. However, as I listened to some songs more and more, I started really liking a lot of the entries. And then the internally selected songs came out and I was utterly blown away by some of the songs we got. Was this a good year? Absolutely. I can't wait to see all these songs fight it all out in May! *oh yeah, may I note that my opinions may change? My winner has been flip flopping between Serbia and Belgium for a while and may continue to do so until the end of time*
Congrats to Belgium for winning my personal Eurovision so far, and scoring their 2nd victory in my rankings (having been my winner for 2015).
Okay, I'm gonna go now, bye!
