First of all, forgive my bad english writing. This fantastic portrait painted by Carolus Duran, have a little story. People in the Portuguese Parliament House, criticezed Queen maria Pia, because she was not wearing some of the crown jewells in the official portrait. Briefly she replied. ...!I dont need any jewell, because I AM the Queen!"

Anyway, "they" would criticeze her if she would wear the diamonds. Well, you know, republican scum...

ehehehehehehe

If you are interested in receiving pictures of Portuguese royals, dont hesitate contact me to ncb€sapo.pt. I will be very glad to send you as much I can.
Best regards,
Nuno
