Camilla and her sisters aren't countesses anymore because of their marriage to commoners. In Denmark there's a differentiation between the titles of unwed daughters of a count - komtesse, and the wife of a count - grevinde.

I think Nicholas Knatchbull has been engaged or "engaged" several times before to Raz Tedros, Zeaphena Badley and Emma Stayhear. I wonder if it will stick this time. He has supposed got his life on track.
 
I read about the engagement of Princess Elisabeth von Thurn-und-Taxis and Mr Edward Mark de Breteuil Devereux, who is Viscount Hereford's younger brother.
