Scottishmoney Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I cannot help but wonder as I view the medal, if the Prince was the overseer of the marriage, and that explains why the Princess looks over to her left whilst the Crown Prince and the Prince look off strait forward. Perhaps she is pondering her servitude to these two new masters of her existence. Perhaps she wonders what she got herself into, no rather what she was gotten into perhaps against her willing. Her eyes have a heavy look to them as though she is weary of something. Who knows, perhaps it is just conjecture? It maybe a stretch to think this, but you never really know, unless you somehow talk to Goetz himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goetzdude Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 She had to know that she was about to marry in with at least two crazies...she, of course, was lucky that it was the least of the two possibilities...Otto being the other more scary one...
