She will be queen unless the monarchy abolished. Ready or not, beneficial or not, she will be queen. What kind of queen stands to be seen. Kind of early to judge her at 18. Its not a meritocracy where if she is voted not good enough she will lose out to her sister or a cousin.

Not first as in the first time in history or currently a non-titled person has been in line of succcession. But as in the most senior non-titled/royal person in line of succession. First as in ranked.

Oxford and Harvard very impressive young woman.Congratulations. And fullbright as welll. Her parents must be so proud.

Having 2 family members currently battling cancer, my prayers and thoughts go out. My father is nearly 8 years into 3-5 year prognosis with multiple myeloma (no cure/remission it can only be held at bay by treatment), and my brother in law is battling sinus cancer (after losing his wife, my...

This is nothing new. Bea and Eugenie both have a dozen patronages and have hosted events for them before. The only difference between them and working royals, they do this out of their own volition. They get no recognition from the court, no funding and the public over looks it unless there is...

By her own actions. Big difference to the girls losing their rights because of the actions of their mother. The law requires them to have been born to a parent who was in the line of succession at the time of their birth. Not that their mother has to continue to be in line of succession. They...

Not sure why Maximillien is being brought into the debate. He is not related to the French connected Leuchtenbergs. Maximillien yes was high born, the younger son of the Elector of Bavaria, and his mother was an Austrian Archduchess. But he died childless and his duchy was absorbed once again...

They are not going to call completely private citizens out to work for Charles. Nor would they give them a title for helping a month or two. If the current senior royals were not enough, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie would be the obvious. They both do a number of patronages anyways and they...

I just watched the movie and I didn't realize she was involved until I watched and read an article. I was amazed. I knew of course she has done a lot of work with the ballet. I hadn't realized she had done work with a film. And yes I think getting award for her talent and not just who she is...

They still have a full staff. Nanny, housekeeper, part time housekeeper, driver etc. They just don't live in the same building. Kate isn't going to be managing the house and chores.

Honestly even the UK only needs the king and heir and wives as full time. Royals like Beatrice and Eugenie prove one can handle an actual job and still do patronages and events. If Harry had been born to any continental royal house they would have celebrated him wanting to have a job and only...

Congratulations to Leonor and her team :flowers: Its great seeing her thrive in the military academy.

Privileged in having private hospitals and best health care. Privileged in not having to work for a living and worry about how will pay bills having to take off months off work. Privileged her husband doesn't have to work double shifts to make up for her not working, and can infact be home...

Regal choice for the new queen. Jewelry perfect with it.

Depends. One year program but you can choose to continue into 5th and 6th forms after as non-commissioned officers.

Nothing wrong with a ponytail. not talking a white tie tiara event. Looks sleek and put together. Rather that then the poodle curls of some royal ladies. Its a day time event. Just the right level of dressed up. I love the cloak.

Matthew is born and raised in California. His immediate family at the least is likely still there. And depending if they were born there, or when they came, many others could be as well. Flying from US to Greece for a wedding if you have a few months notice not a huge issue for most.

I can't see Charlotte (too close to Charles) or Adolph (sorry don't see any royal using that for decades to come). I do see a more traditional name then I expect with Felix and Claire's. Nicholas' parents are Thomas and Gwenaelle. Jean Thomas Henri Bagory Antonia Gwenaelle Marie Bagory...

Ingrid starts her military training in January. https://www.instagram.com/norwegianroyalfamily/p/Ct9VhawMzHN/ I agree I don't see Sverre Magnus doing military training so college right away.

Norway: Ingrid spends her year in Indre Troms in army training as was announced (perhaps announcement towards end of the fall about college in 2025) Martha Louise and Durek get married in summer in flashiest wedding they can The couple will settle in the US and it will be announced Emma either...

They are Swarovski crystal. I love her hair style but thats about it. I am all for black, its elegant, but in this case I get why some people think black is only for funerals. It looks like some mourning look from a hundred years ago

Sonam is also the name of the queen's mother, Sonam Choki. So considering the middle is a variation of the king's mother, the little princess name is a nod to both her grandmothers.

I love the jacket, great color and style. I don't like the blouse neck though. I love the professional look for a business meeting. So glad the days of 'women have to wear a dress to be dressed up and professional' are long gone

They are boarding schools. The distance from home to school is not much of a deciding factor. Now if it was a day school and you were making a daily commute to take your kids to school that may be a bigger concern. Also now they are the heirs to the throne, William and Kate will end up...

Its not like it was some official royal event. Or even royal family event. Ingrid was attending a private event for her cousin who is a private citizen. So yeah her boyfriend came along. Now if he attended Christmas church with the family or such that would be surprising at this point.
