Looks to me like the cypher of the Duchess of Windsor -- three intertwined Ws for "Wallis Warfield Windsor."

Totally agree -- I think William is serious about knowing whether or not he can trust someone. I tend to think that's one of the reasons his relationship with Kate seems so solid -- he trusts her (IMO, of course). I have a theory that many of the trival, silly stories we read in the press...

That's exactly what I think is going on with William and Kate, rmay. Right now, they can have a private relationship together, just the two of them, but when they decide they want to have children, they will have to be married. I think we'll see them have a child within a year or so of their...

LOL -- not a bad title to have! :flowers: Seriously, I think the fact that these two aren't getting a move on is just frustrating a press/internet that really, really, really wants a story out of them, because they sell papers/drive web traffic. Hence all this ridiculousness. When there's...

Newspapers are recycling stories, and blogs are picking up on the stories at various times, making it look like there's a constant stream of "they're breaking up" stories going on. No reputable press organizations that I can think of have even touched this. More hullabaloo -- and now the US...

She's Princess Nikolaos. The Brits at the wedding were Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and Lady Gabriella Windsor.

ITA, Mermaid ... it wouldn't surprise me if some of the Commonwealth realms abolish the monarchy after Elizabeth II, but I don't see the UK doing it. For one, they'd have to rethink a good part of their traditions and political system, and I'm not sure the majority of Brits would want that...

I'm not sure that the Greeks do the "The" business with children of monarchs like the Brits do ... but you're right that she'll be HRH Princess Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark. Women who marry into the GRF take their husband's title (like "Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark," who was the Duke...

Wow, Elena looks gorgeous! And Tatiana -- she's going to be a great "style icon" royal, I have a feeling. :) ETA: Is that Princess Irene in the photo with Sofia?

To be fair, Sibilla was never exactly a commoner; she didn't hold a title herself, but her mother was a Torlonia, and her great-grandparents were King Alfonso XIII and Queen Ena of Spain (which also makes her a descendant of Queen Victoria of the UK). Anyway, to get back to the topic, I have a...

There's no St. Andrews dukedom currently -- there's an earldom of St. Andrews, held as a subsidiary title by the current Duke of Kent, and used by the Duke's son. The dukedom of Clarence, during its last use, was linked with the Scottish place name of "Avondale." Clarence was linked with the...

No. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden was already king when he married Silvia Sommerlath in 1976.

It's a Liechtenstein family piece, acquired at some point from the Austrian imperial family. Here's more on the tiara.

Masako's name was on one of the more recent lists, but so was King Juan Carlos's, and the Spanish royal house had already confirmed he wasn't attending. She was not, however, on the official list for the government reception that will be held tomorrow night. I'd say it's possible she might be...

I remember reading on one of the early lists published by Aftonbladet that the Crown Princess of Thailand had been invited, but she hasn't appeared on any of the guest lists we've seen in the past few days.
