Not theme/Gene related - flashback to 1969!>> Archived Message Posted by Izzy on February 29, 2024, 4:50 pm I was very pleased with my Lilibet dolls and requested a special doll to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s State Visit to my favourite country, Austria, in 1969. I believe this particular outfit was worn for a visit to the famous Spanish Riding School within the Hofburg Imperial Palace. For the first one I used my own pic taken before a performance there last November for the background - photos are strictly forbidden during the show even when there are no royalty in attendance! This was the original inspiration.
