  FQR's look is that of a broadsheet newspaper, in the fashion of Ritz Magazine of the 70's and early 80's. The production design has been carried out by Nick Foulkes and Art Director Tristram Fetherstonhaugh. Princess Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis served as Features Editor, followed by Emilia Hungerford. The magazine's current Managing Editor is Tom Chamberlin. The issues themselves range in pagination but are usually kept under 40 pages. Distribution is via subscription.
