Last month I did bring you the elegance of La Belle France. This month I does tell a cautionary Tale about how Sponsorship can go dreadfully pear-shaped.
Years ago I read about how the likes of Lady Helen Windsor made small fortunes from wearing Bulgari Jewellery to Society Functions. She could do this sort of thing because she a Minor Royal of a proper Royal House, and therefore in great demand. If you does not believe me, just look at Peter Phillips getting half a million smackeroos on account of being Famous Granny's Favourite and thus getting a rather exclusive Venue for his wedding.
Well, over the other side of the North Sea the Dutch Queen Beatrix a bit jealous of all this. Still, wot can you do when your family Title named after a fruit wot make people think you come from Jaffa via the Bahamas - Orange-Nassau wot her family name is. So Queen Beatrix cannot get the exclusive, high value Sponsorship wot comes all to easily to even minor Members of our Royal Family.
Even so, she must have been a bit desperate to sign up for Burger King as well she knows, judging by this piccy where her face frozen in horror at the sudden realisation of the enormity of her Fashion Error.
Oh well, back to the drawing board!
Did the Princess Beatrice get named after her, are they related to our Royals.
I suppose all Royalty is related these days as Queen Victoria's heirs got everywhere.
Couldn't she get mobile phone sponsorship , there is a company with her name.

Queen Victoria should use a vacuum cleaner 
If it was a wet day, she could complete her outfit with a Big Mac.
You can imagine her turning her head quickly and the hat staying where it was.
