Dear Bryce; You're welcome and I apologise for the long delay. In the case of the Duke of Edinburgh (and Prince of Wales), they both tend to restrict themselves to two stars in British uniforms, except when wearing the uniform of a Colonel-in-Chief of one of the Guards regiments. When wearing a...

Adrian Berry, 4th Viscount Camrose has died at the age of 78. Viscount Camrose – obituary

The same can be said for all Mail/Express/Sun 'articles'. Sir Max Hastings is a competent military historian. His Mail pieces however are worthless, sensationalist garbage.

Another unanswered question. Yes, the Duke is wearing the star of the Order of the Garter (awarded on the 19th of November, 1947) and the Grand Cross star of the Order of the Redeemer (also awarded in 1947). It was a subtle but appropriate acknowledgement of his past as a Prince of Greece and...

Just noticed this hadn't been answered. The Duke of Edinburgh is wearing the Grand Master's Badge of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. The insignia is unique to the Grand Master, in the same way the Grand Master's Badges of the Order of the Bath, Order of St Michael and St George...

An Ard Ri; I saw the article in the Irish Times today too. In the strictest sense though, Sir John was a titled commoner, rather than a member of the nobility.

An American not recognising our Monarch? In a Daily Fail 'article', rehashing a Times article? What part of that is news?

Not this cycle again..

... And by Roman Catholics during Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

Thank you for posting the link. As with most things related to the Australian monarchy, there will be a week of feigned outrage or mockery and then everything will return to normal. An attempt to make something out of nothing. The Federation $5 Notes introduced in 2000 caused a stir because they...

Except in the Order of the Mass. When the Lord's Prayer is prayed withing Mass, the Doxology is said by the faithful, following the Embolism which is said by the celebrant alone. I echo Iluvbertie's hope that this explanation is accepted only for the sake of clarity and not as an act of...

Or better yet, create a new category: The Pointless Article Forum.

I had to read the article, despite it's questionable source and place of publication, in case there was anything of value we ought to be concerned about. There wasn't. Just another mindless article admitting that no one can tell the future with absolute certainty, Her Majesty is beloved, other...

Most major Christian denominations recognise any previous baptism as valid in the case of conversions. The Lutheran church would only require baptism for an unbaptised person and as has been stated here before, the Crown Princess was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Australia (and...

Duc et Pair; If I may be so bold, the spirit of your post above, seems to be intentionally lacking in flexibility, especially considering the post immediately preceding it. How can any institution survive without a certain degree of change? Modernism in this context (could also be considered...

Which is surely more important than our pontification on here! :flowers:

It is only offered as an example of the Catholic viewpoint, which despite his public conversion, the Prince Consort may still profess privately. Once learned, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is quite difficult to abandon. I am not for a moment suggesting that Prince Henrik's conversion...

Regarding the Prince Consort and communion, I suspect HRH feels uncomfortable about receiving communion in a Protestant church, not necessarily because he believes the consecration to be invalid (although that is certainly how the Catechism instructs Catholics to view non-canonical communion)...

Countessmeout, my description of the culling of deer was not directed at you specifically, but in response to your having mentioned it, to the readers generally. Murder of livestock is cruel and foxes destroy in far greater numbers than simply to sustain their own lives. That current practice...

Deer have to be culled to conserve both the vegetation and the species of deer, it is a government requirement for estates to remove a certain number of stags and hinds each year. If this practice was halted, over breeding would cause devastation to the natural vegetation and the herds would...

When compared to some of the cataclysmic scandals that have been whipped up by the media here in the UK, I agree entirely with LadyRohan, that the poll results are less damaging than they might have been. Still, was there a question relating specifically to the change in the proposed line of...

Interesting - where have the results of that poll been published?

I am typing this from Wales. The spirit of Welsh nationalism extends primarily to the independence of the devolved parliamemt and the preservation and promotion of the Welsh language and culture. The abundance of Prince of Wales feathers throughout the country is a simple indication of passive...

This is a myth. The Principality of Wales is a peerage of England. Since 2011 Wales has been referred to as a country rather than principality, with no effect to the peerage enjoyed by the monarch's eldest sons since the 14th century. Whoever holds the peerage at any given time, has no...

Perhaps that is open to interpretation by more than just one, rather enigmatic poster.
