I recently read a book about the last Empresses, Zita, Augusta Victoire, Alix and Mary. It was really interesting but I cannot remember what it was called.

I'm glad the Bavarian royals were part of the events, though I wonder why not Duke Franz. Wasn't the Queen Catholic, or from a Catholic family.

Lets see, shes young, 19 and a college student, she has looks money and 'knows' people. While Royal she isn't in a position such as William, Harry or the Yorks. Her family is not reigning and unlikely to ever do so again. Why shouldn't she get out and enjoy herself. Now if she was still doing...

One of the reasons I was hoping for a marriage like this. The furst of the Trautson branch of the Auerspergs have continued to marry into the aristocracy/royalty. Prine Johannes mother is a Countess of Hoyos. His Grandmother was a Countess d'Aspremont-Lynden great grandmother a Princess Of...

A nice match, I was hoping he would marry well

Its nice to see that the younger members of the family take an interest and are involved in events to do with their family history

I wonder how it would be pronounced? Where would the emphasis be placed? As in Image or imagine

There as one case of intermarriage between Queen Victorias descendants that had the potential to be a case of the disease being spread or made worse by inbreeding. That was the marriage of Prince Heinrich of Prussia to his first cousin, Princess Irene of Hesse, the sister of Tsarina Alix. They...

Has anyone bought the new book written by Duke Andreas.

Marlene has announced on her blog the death of Georg Fürst von Waldburg zu Zeil und Trauchburg Royal Musings he would be succeeded by his only son, Erich. Furst George was the son Of Ernst August, furst and Princess Monika of Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. He married Princess Marie Gabriella of...

I missed that and reread the article.

Therefor the child will be illegitimate and if a son not in line to the dukedom, that could create all sorts of ill feeling later on. A somewhat selfish thing to do in my opinion.

so the question becomes, which is better, locally sourced or organic?

I'm sorry but Prince Who?

The use of titles intriuges me also. Lets say the Duke of Grafton. He would have been the Duke in his own right. Would the Queen have given him another title? If their first child had been a boy, lets say they called him Charles, then he would in time be the Duke of Grafton in his own right...

you don't speak for me. I do care

all four grandparents of this child come from the Gotha, a rarity nowdays

Well I wouldn't consider Zara and Pete as Royal. They have no title to start with and the British Monarchy has never recognised decent through the female line except through a Reigning Monarch. A perfect example was that of the future Queen Mary. She was a Morganatic Royal through her descent...

thank you for that

where would I find his ancestry

The wives of both the Duke and his brother are still of childbearing age so there maybe a boy or two yet.

I think that the main issue is that it is no longer 'the in thing' most of the new countries that created monarchies and most of those who proclaimed themselves kings, did so because it garnered support and recognition for the country from other powerful countries. It also made the ruler seem...

It is god that she was alive at the birth of her granddaughter and presumably was able tt her

Enough already. This thread is getting tiresome. People have taken a side and are simply repeating themselves and no one is going to change their mind. Until there is something new to say let it rest.
