Pic of the week: Francine the bubble queen

These pictures were taken at the first ever King Of The Bubble contest, which requires contestants to produce the largest, clearest, longest-lasting and most perfectly rounded rings. It’s a specially-built pool in Brussels, Belgium, 100ft deep (the deepest in the world).

The eventual winner, beating nine finalists, was 31-year-old Francine Kreiss, from Hyeres in France (above).

Like Skins, but from the Fifties

A photo from 1955 of Princess Yvonne and Prince Alexander of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn in Germany. It’s like a Teutonic, black and white, post-war, pre-pubescent “Skins”. Makes one wonder what they get up to in Balmoral in summer.
