Can anyone please tell me if Prince Wolfgang's second marriage is considered equal or not by the family? And does anyone know more about Tatiana - is she from a noble family? Also I would like to know what happens in cases where there is a divorce, does the ex-wife retain the use of her title...

Good grief. :eek: Wasn't it the ADC who introduced you? I guess they didn't really stand on protocol, huh. Long dead are the days when people curtsied to royalty.

^^^ I think that's not done anymore, but it used to be common in the past. I have an old book on Habsburg history and all the emperors are given with their Anglicised names. It's a silly practice, if you ask me, and it makes reading historical documents more complicated.

:previous:She might not have to convert. CP Maxima did not convert when she married. If no one objects to her (future HGD) religion, then it's not an issue.

How did you know the kids are with MT? Does it say in the article? Sorry, I can't read Spanish. Anyway, I don't think it's wrong for a mum to take a day out every now and then for herself, if she knows the kids will be well cared-for in her absence. In any case, it's a bit hard to say how many...

It's almost unimaginable to think of the Queen not being there - she's an institution in her own right! :flowers: That said, I don't think it's undesirable to have a young monarch. A young king / queen can bring a lot of energy, and (public) interest and attention to the position than an older...

I wonder why people seem to find it so hard to believe that the guy is simply discrete, without there being some sort of nefarious reason for the lack of gossip.

It's interesting you thought that, because I always had an opposite impression. I imagined he would make a 'modern' marriage (after all, his parents did). I guess another reason people shouldn't be too serious about 'impressions' since different people are bound to have different ones! If the...

Seeing how a lot of people who are born to titles often don't behave in a way befitting them, and how many who marry into royalty the 'conventional' way often fail to live up to expectations, it's a breath of fresh air to see someone who does carry herself with grace even under such difficult...

It must have been a real relief when they found Daniel's father was a match, otherwise it would be terrible having to be on the waiting list. As for Daniel getting the vaccine, that makes sense because when you have received an organ transplant, your immune system will recognise the organ as a...

Isn't it strange that we don't see Guillaume? As I understand it, this is a major national event.

I think this is the picture you're talking about. I got it from one of the threads here, unfortunately I can't remember which one. I'm not sure who is the girl, or if there are other pictures with Guillaume. Would appreciate it if someone could tell. The other picture is my favourite of all...

My thoughts exactly! I have also seen them walking together at Prince Albert of Monaco's coronation gala dinner.

:previous: Yes! I have NEVER met any man who looked better for using copious amounts of hair styling products. :sick: Would also prefer that Felix eased off on the hair cream as well. Facial hair thing...hmm...I think opinion on this board is split wrt facial hair. Sometimes (like in these...

Ah...but we all know how partial you are to Felix! ;) Actually, the cars that they use for official functions, are they privately owned personal cars? Or is it a property of the court / state / whatever is the institution that takes care of arranging the GD family's official functions...
