I would describe it as almost unfortunate. Yes, sure they aren't working royals but blood princesses don't even get the RFO (and mind you Prince Michael has a GCVO and he was part time, which shows that certain service produces acknowledgement). I just personally question the judgement of that...
I mean, I think there's higher criticism for Beatrice and Eugenie's daily style because we see them more outside regularly. It's a bit of an unequal comparison when Sophie and Kate are pictured out once in a blue moon.
Yes, Prince Michael can definitely be described as collateral, and along with what you are saying he no longer can really appear on the balcony most likely. I've been waiting to speak on their position until I had evidence but I also think Beatrice and Eugenie have been caught on the middle by...
Graduating from a UWC myself a couple of years ago, it's quite interesting to see the novelty surrounding this successive crop of royals attending the schools. And as for other queries about Ariane attending Adriatic, she'll definitely be fine not speaking Italian. The great majority of classes...
Yeah I feel like if you replaced the the Dukes/Duchess of Gloucester and Kent with the Chattos, Snowdons, Andrew and the Sussexes, that could be a doable list considering the current trends found in the family
But where was did the expectation that all four of the Wessexes and Yorks would become working royals come from? The precedent that was set by the previous generation was that only the eldest child would take on royal duties. Princess Alexandra was an outlier due to the number of young working...
Unless they attend a state banquet sometime in the future or some formal event, it's a bummer we may never know if Beatrice and Eugenie received the Queen's RFO. I had been banking on the coronation to showcase that but it was not to be. And we do not know the Queen's view of getting it when it...
Seems like some people like jumping to conclusions when/if they have an agenda. I find situations like this especially funny when the involved have not outright displayed the character or done the actions they have been accused of beforehand.
I've fully realized recently that rules for precedence and other forms of protocol like attendance are never really hard and fast. If the situation calls for going by line of succession, fine. If the King wants it by blood royal status, sure. Which can be quite intriguing, especially placement...
Yeah seemed like an event catered towards the extended family entertaining some foreign royals. The York's and Edinburghs were there along with the Princess Royal, Tindalls, Chattos and Michaels of Kent
Only about 4-5 ladies would need one though based on the vaults of the cadet branches. The York Princesses, the Countess of St. Andrews, Lady Fredrick and maybe Lady Margarita though that would be unlikely as she's unmarried. This is if the rumor that the Kent and Gloucester grandchildren are...
This hardline split has honestly gotten on my nerves at this point, and the basic reasonings like optics aren't gonna cut it. At that point what's the reason for inviting non working royals. Like quite honestly, a tiara has nothing to do with designating being a working royal. If you don't want...
