Maybe I'm easily fooled by nice photos but I think that Charles and Camilla look happy, and since the birth of Charming Prince Louis, Kate and William seem much happier with their lives and each other.
Harald and Sonja seem to adore each other, Letizia and Felipe look like a happy couple, so do Maxima and Willem Alexander - he's clearly bursting with pride and amazment when he looks at her.
Philppe and Mathilde - I saw somewhere here on the boards a lovely clip with little scenes where they have a lovely interaction. Even if it was a half-arranged marriage, they seem very happy and in harmony.
I think there were quite a lot of obstacles for the Queen and Prince Philip - he probably didn't expect to feel so uncomfortable in the role of consort. He has carved out an important role for hiimself but they often give off quite distant vibes. Not unhappy but living parallel lives in a certain distance from each other.
Poor Fred and Mary look as though trapped in a nightmare, Albert and Charlene never completely convince me with their show of happiness (although the very cute children make them probably happier than they were before). Daniel and Victoria - I'm sorry to say that I have seen clouds on his face over the last year. They were so beamingly happy before that I can't ignore the difference. I know he has had health problems and hope it was just a string of bad photos on bad days, and that they're still blissfully happy.
But what do we know from afar? Would I have thought that Peter PHilips and Autumn would divorce? They always seemed solid to me.
Anne and her husband look distant. But she gives looks of love only to her granddaughters. I hope she found real love. Her daughter does look happy.
Edward and Sophie are not demonstrative with each other but a good team, and that's a good sign, I hope. He should kiss the ground she's walking on, she does such a wonderful job without pushing herself into any limelight.
Haakon seems to me, from the pictures, like his wife's loyal poodle. If it works for them, great. And did I mention Martha Louise with her amazing boyfriend? Wow, such happiness!
