Today sees the release in Syldavia of the
official State Portrait of King Nikolas III and Queen Maxima. It is standard
procedure when a new King succeeds to a throne to release a State Portrait in
order to familiarize the people with their monarch. The portrait is then hung in a prominent place in major government building, in this case the foyer of the Parliament Building in Syldav City. A post card size print of
this portrait is also usually made available, free of charge in order for people
to take it home. In the case of Syldavia, the post card portrait will be sold
for a nominal charge in order to raise money for various charitable causes. We
can expect the release of another State Portrait and National Stamps commemorating the ascension after the
Investiture Ceremony. It has also been officially released by King Nikolas’ secretariat
that the Invitations for the Investiture will be out by Friday this week.
The First State Portrait of King Nikolas III and Queen Maxima. It shows the Royal crest in the top left and Queen Maxima compliments her adopted nation by wearing the historical Queen Ingrid of Syldavia Tiara. Both King and Queen wear the sash and badge of the Order of the Syldav Cross of which the King is head.
In other news, a charity fashion show was
attended by major Royals in the fashion capital of Pariseum last night The
fashion show was aimed at raising money for charities that support single
parents who work in the clothing and fashion industries all over Europa.
Empress Crystobel was joined by her daughter in law, the Crown Princess
Imperial, Princess Kirtsen Youssopoff and the Princess of Wallachia. Several
thousand EuroPounds were raised through the sales and bequests of the wealthy
patrons. The event also gave the Royals the chance to experiment with their own
fashion sense rather than just conventional Royal style. Princess Kirsten
scored top marks for sleek style, while the Princess of Wallachia dressed in a
sea blue dress and opted for a 20’s style aigrette tiara that might seem almost
alien. The empress put on the major bling in the form of her Birthday Tiara and
Fringe Neclace and contrasted it with an extremely plain 60’s waist-less dress.
Finally Princess Odeliah chose risk free with black velvet accented by diamonds.

Portrait... shouldn't it be a painting and not a photograph...? or is that antiquated now days...?
ReplyDeleteit would be wonderful if we could see a 'real painting'... surely you can do that...? ;-)
Their are State Portrait photographs and State Portrait paintings. They are both acceptable. I am in the process of having paintings as well.
ReplyDeleteHello from Spain: congratulations on the photo because he has to shield the family. I really like the jewels of all the characters in this entry. The black dress worn by the Princess Kirsten is beautiful. Do Mattel or what you do? Keep in touch.
