    Order of Precedence 1: Ending 2022

    I believe the place on the website for Anne, Edward and Alexandra's profiles is a mix of age, i.e. family seniority, and their personal records of decades of work for the monarchy. Anne is older than Andrew and Edward and she is definitely the most working child of the Queen after Charles. Same...

    Holy Roman Empire

    Not always the Habsburgs were elected emperors. For example, after the death of Charles VI and the extinction of the original house of Habsburg in male line, before Maria Theres'a husband, Francis of Lorraine, became emperor with the support of his wife, a Bavarian prince from the House of...

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex with Oprah II - Interview, March 7th-9th 2021

    The difference between the Sussexes (though I guess it was all Meghan) and the Windsors is seen in this statement. The issues will be addressed by the family in private, as it should be.

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex with Oprah II - Interview, March 7th-9th 2021

    I don't know if anyone before said that but I just want to add it's really unfair when they bring in the conversation those who cannot answer in a similar way. Kate just won't tell her side of the story. Charles will keep his mouth shut as hes supposed to, too. The palace may issue a statement...

    Beatrice and Edoardo: Wedding Suggestions and Musings Thread

    I don't believe they were valid any more as he renounced them and became a commoner there too. By his renunciation he left the Greek and Danish royal houses and ceased to be a dynast of the House of Glücksburg. It was Louise's husband who was created the Duke of Fife, twice. The second creation...

    Beatrice and Edoardo: Wedding Suggestions and Musings Thread

    The noble titles are preserved in Germany as part of people's official names, for example the head of the Hanoverians is Mr Ernst August Prinz von Hannover. There are some sources claiming that in his British passport he is styled as HRH Ernest Augustus Guelph (??), which includes a bizarre...

    The Future of the British Monarchy 1: 2018 - 2022

    What do you mean by "direct line of succession"? There are hundreds (even thousands?) of people who can claim British throne based on their direct descent from Electress Sophia of Hanover. The current HRHs and their own descendants are 59 people who are closest to the throne. You mean the...

    Prince and Princess Michael of Kent Current Events 6: July 2011- Sep 2022

    I don't believe Marie Christine turned down an order. She seems to be so grandiose. Thus, there must be a reason the Queen still doesn't want her to have a very personal award, a sign of membership in the RF, her personal order. I agree the other orders are for public and royal service and the...

    Prince and Princess Michael of Kent Current Events 6: July 2011- Sep 2022

    :previous: Maybe that's because: Princess Michael never really worked for the RF, so she has no record of public service on behalf of the Queen Sarah, Duchess of York was in the family effectively for 6 years, while the last year (two?) before separation was already hard for the couple. So I...

    Prince and Princess Michael of Kent Current Events 6: July 2011- Sep 2022

    :previous: I don't say they aren't close. Just asking are there any grounds for this kind of statement. They may like each other but is he her beloved cousin? Well, as much as you and me and anyone else, she does not need to be close to all her close (by blood) relatives. And I mean these days...

    Succession and Membership Issues

    But are the currently living males of the former ōke branches of the IF really able to provide a better future for the succession? Do they have plenty of young boys in their lineages? Don't think so. I don't think it could solve the problem.

    The Future of the British Monarchy 1: 2018 - 2022

    Offtopic. What are the grounds for you saying that they were so close to Charles? Do you have any source confirming that he named his elder son after William? I know the Gloucesters were spending family time with George V and his family and then Elizabeth II and her family but were the boys in...

    The Waringo Investigation into the Functioning of the Luxembourg Court 2019/2020

    Ok, I see your point. But maybe she just can't control herself? Anyway, it's unforgivable for anyone and as for the Grand Duchess, this should mark her end of privileges. And for the Grand Duke, oh boy... He let this happen. That's it.

    The Waringo Investigation into the Functioning of the Luxembourg Court 2019/2020

    If that's true, about physical abuse towards employees, I think this should be the end of public life for the Grand Duchess. I understand those employees were paid and they won't claim anything from the GD nor the court. However, this doesn't mean it did not happen! In fact, those allegations...

    The Future of the British Monarchy 1: 2018 - 2022

    That's so true, Bourbons of Spain are a fine example. Even better than the Windsors (though there is/was no antiFrench sentiment there, like there was antiGerman in most of Europe). Felipe Vi has no Spanish blood in the nearest grades of his descent. It's almost entirely half-French and, a...

    The Future of the British Monarchy 1: 2018 - 2022

    Gawin, exactly 13.26% of Americans reported German ancestry in 2017's census. Yet being "German" does not mean the same in the US and here in Europe outside Germany. So, while you can easily say someone is German American or simply German (when American is included by default) in America and...

    The Future of the British Monarchy 1: 2018 - 2022

    Nationality and ethnic identity is different in different societies. Take the immigrant nations, like the US or Canada, for example. There, you can be easily American (no one would ever question that) and Jewish, Irish, Polish or German at the same time. And being Irish or Polish or Chinese does...

    The Future of the British Monarchy 1: 2018 - 2022

    It's all really fun facts. Genealogy. The Nassaus, from whom William of Orange was, were actually also a German dynasty, with some French origin too. The Romanovs, too, were ethnically distant from the Russian people. They hailed from, surprise, Germany! :D So, Prince Philip's grandmother was...
