guarantee someone is going to describe her dress, and the colour it was, whereas
most people don’t pay too much attention to what William was wearing.Princess
Anne was born into the spotlight, but was permitted a certain degree of distance
and respectability that has eluded more contemporary royal women.An Olympian and
equestrian who survived a kidnapping attempt, she was twice-married and bore two
children.A staid figure, Anne remains one of the busiest members of the royal
household, but has avoided the precarious glamour that enveloped Diana and Sarah
Ferguson, Duchess of York.routinely covered in the press.Even secondary royal
figures are not immune.The Duchess of York’s two daughters, Princesses Beatrice
and Eugenie, captured the international limelight when they wore a pair of
unconventional hats to William and Kate’s wedding.The combination of relentless
observation and pervasive public mockery may even be smashing the royal
fairytale altogether.Ferguson has spoken openly of being unprepared for the
publicity and role her marriage to Prince Andrew entailed.Her irrepressible
nature found itself at odds with the prim public family, and the pair later
divorced.Meanwhile, a Newsweek Europe poll commissioned last year found that
only 1 per cent of women wanted to be Catherine.An astonishing 89 per cent of
respondents stated they wouldn’t trade places with her, even for a day.The

New Quinceanera Dresses , a princess would become a fashion icon without
the luxury of spontaneity or experimentation.She would be a creature of modesty
without privacy; a royal without power; a bearer of the most retrograde
traditions who will nonetheless be held to her generation’s standard of modern
womanhood.Hardly the stuff of fairytales.Re: #sticktothemusic, editorial, April
9.Valentina Lisitsa has been dropped, according to Toronto Symphony Orchestra
for her hate-speech tweets, not her political views.that it has used in the
past, insinuating the Holodomor, genocide by starvation, perpetrated by Stalin
in the 1930s.Her tweets have also been extremely derogatory against blacks, the
disabled and Jews.Her rants are akin to those of Ernst Zundel.inciting racial
hatred.We have freedom of speech in Canada, but that comes with the
responsibility of not disseminating hate propaganda, which is something that is
prohibited by the Criminal Code.We also have freedom of association, and the TSO
has and should have the right to disassociate itself from whomever it
chooses.Lisitsa, the TSO made the right decision.Olena Wawryshyn, Toronto.I
don’t blame the TSO for firing Valentina Lisitsa from future concerts because of
her political views.The concert hall is not a podium of controversial political
views but rather a venue for professional music playing.Ukraine has been the
centre of disputes due to the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia and should
be left out by bona fide artists when playing in the international
scene.Musicians of international stature should refrain from issuing political
statements so that the audience can concentrate on the music and not be
distracted by the political stripes of an artist.Russia has been reviled by many
political analysts for bullying a rather weak Ukraine.It is wise not to speak
out for or against Russia since this can reflect badly on the orchestra.Edith de
la Torre, Montreal.I support the decision of the TSO and the Lawrence Park
Community Church to ban the performance of Russian pianist Valentina Lisitsa.are
not hatemongering.Let’s go back to one of her most offensive tweets in which she
shows Ukrainian teachers next to a picture of an African tribe.New school year
begins in Odessa with teachers forced to wear Ukrainian tribal
dress
Quinceanera
Dresses , a truly European custom.This is one of the more widely cited
tweets because of its obvious racist nature.with a sarcastic jab implying that
the practice of doing so is primitive and savage.and juxtapose it with African
tribal dress implying that this is all primitive, uncivilized and savage.All
Canadians would no doubt call her anti-Semitic and the government would ban her
entry into Canada.Send her back to the U.Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra pay
attention.Walter Derzko, TorontoIt’s naive to think art and politics can always
be separated.Art has often been turned to promote political purposes, not always
virtuously.The ***’ very cultured Germany is a case in point.As a result of
Valentina Lisitsa’s hateful assault on Ukrainians, when we hear her play
Rachmaninoff the pure Russian passion will be contaminated by her ardent
bigotry.Her prejudice has poisoned her performance.However inadvertently, we
would be complicit if we sop it up.We can’t overlook what she said and its
tone.Art is supposed to make us better people, emotionally more receptive,
better attuned to our common humanity.then denying responsibility for its
effects.I admire the TSO’s principled stand.this pianist’s
prejudice.Alternatively, the audience could go, to confirm their support of the
Calgary symphony, but then walk out en masse when Lisitsa takes her podium.We
may like the medium but reject this contamination by her message.Maurice
Yacowar, Calgary.As a Canadian-born citizen whose parents emigrated from Ukraine
I take great offence to what Lisitsa has written about the conflict between
Ukraine and Russia, but I also do not agree with censorship.For me the best way
to counter the lies and disgusting material which Lisitsa has spewed forth is to
point out that she knows nothing about what she is talking about.One example of
that is your article about Amnesty International and its report of evidence of
