Princess Margaret Rose

September22

Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, was the only sibling of Queen Elizabeth II and the younger daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.  She was born on August 21, 1930. When she was 6 years old her Uncle Edward VIII was abdicated, and her father Prince Albert became King George VI, then Princess Elizabeth became first in line and Margaret came in second.

Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose were educated at home and spent most of the war years at Windsor Castle. Their Scottish governess ,Marion Crawford, described Elizabeth as been the sensible one and Margaret as being full of fun and spoiled by her parents. In 1947, she made her first foreign trip abroad when she joined her parents and sister on a three-month tour of South Africa. They were accompanied by the King’s equerry Captain Peter Townsend. Later that year, she was a bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding to Prince Philip.

After the war, Margaret fell in love with Captain Peter Townsend. In 1952, Margaret’s father died, her sister became Queen, and Townsend divorced his current wife. Early the following year, he proposed to Margaret. Many of the others in the  government felt that he would be an unsuitable husband for the Queen’s 22-year-old sister and the Church refused to arrange a marriage for the princess to a divorced man. Margaret eventually abandoned her plans and, in 1960, accepted the proposal of the photographer Antony Armstrong -Jones, which was organized by the Queen. The couple divorced in 1978 and Margaret never remarried.

Two-Headed Dolphin

August13

It is a very rare phenomenon to see a two-headed dolphin – similar to the occurrence of conjoined human twins. But, when a two-headed dolphin calfwashed up on a beach in western Turkey , Tugrul Metin, a vacationing gym teacher , immediately called the police.

“I noticed the dolphin in the sea and watched as it washed on to the beach. I couldn’t take it in at first. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I’ve never even heard about a dolphin like this let alone seen one with my own eyes – I was completely shocked.”
-Tugrul Metin

Reports say that one of the mammal’s heads was not properly opened, along with one of the blow holes. The dolphin was merged at the body and shared a tail and only had one blow hole for two heads.  The dolphin was believed to be a one-year-old calf and measured about 1 meter in length. Marine biologists at Akdeniz University will study the dolphin.

In 2009, Middleton took up tobogganing on the Cresta Run at St Moritz, with the multi-millionaire Trevor Baines as her instructor. She is also a good shot and in 2008 shot twenty-three game birds in a day in Scotland.

January14

Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer

Heads will roll!!!!!

Colette Iselin begins the book by lamenting her family’s tragic loss of money, and the embarrassing fact that her mother has to work the perfume counter at Macy’s (so she can keep Colette in private school and save up for Colette’s upcoming trip to Paris—oh, the horror!). We find out she’s been hiding her family’s financial status from her supposed best friends, lying and posturing so she can remain a member of high school royalty.

Paris, France: a city of fashion, chocolate croissants, and cute boys. Colette is thrilled be there for the first time, on her spring break class trip. But a series of gruesome murders are taking place around the city, putting everyone on edge. And as she tours the sights, Colette keeps seeing a strange vision: a pale woman in a ball gown and powdered wig, who looks like Marie Antoinette. Colette knows her status-obsessed friends won’t believe her, so she seeks out the help of a charming French boy. Together, they discover that the murder victims are all descendants of people who ultimately brought about Marie Antoinette’s beheading. The queen’s ghost has been awakened, and now she’s wreaking her bloodthirsty revenge. And Colette may just be one of those descendants . . . which means she might not make it out of this trip alive. Acclaimed author Katie Alender brings heart-stopping suspense to this story of betrayal, glamour, mystery, revenge,  intrigue, history–and one killer queen.

Princess Diana’s Grave is Empty

August4

The Princess is not buried on the lake, claims shocking US report. A shocking US report quotes a “Palace source” as saying that Diana’s body is not on the island in the lake, and that the beloved Princess was cremated – and her ashes put in an urn. What really happened to Diana’s body? A shocking US report claims that the tragic Princess was not laid to rest on the little island at Althrop – as the world has believed since her dramatic funeral nearly a year ago. Supposedly, she was secretly cremated, and the ashes given to her two sons, Princes William and Harry! This claim, according to America’s Star magazine, comes from a senior source at Buckingham Palace. “Diana” was cremated and her ashes put in an urn and given to her sons” the source claims. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times people in Di’s tiny hometown of Great Brington also don’t believe Di’s body lies on the island in the lake near Althrop House. One resident said that very strange things were going on there following Diana’s funeral – especially at the towns crematorium.

Princess Diana Grave
“The night they brought her body back after the big funeral ceremony in London, our whole. Village was invaded by the army and the police and special forces units” the resident said.”All the residents were hustled back into their houses to get them well out of the way. They got the crematorium burning well into the night. What we think is that they cremated Princess Diana”.It was five days after her tragic August 31 death in a Paris underpass that Di’s funeral procession made its long sad journey past grief stricken crowds from Westminster Abbey in London to Althrop.Only her close family members were at the graveside on the grounds of the house. No details of any ceremony were ever released. It was Diana’s brother Charles Spencer who announced that he had prepared it on the small island. Today, many people have doubts about the burial.According to the Star, other employees at Althrop suggest that perhaps Di’s body was never even in the coffin. Althrop former cook and housekeeper, Betty Andrews is quoted as saying “There’s a strange feeling amongst all the villagers that we may not be hearing the complete truth. “It seems very odd to us that Diana would be buried on an island here, miles from her young sons, in a place where they can hardly ever visit her. “Only the Spencers and the royal family really know what happened.”
