Just found this thread saw one of the first suggestions was Vietnam...as much as I love the Imperial family they'll never be restored. My mother is Vietnamese with several friends still there and I asked her if she ever knew of anyone who talked about them and she answered in the negative. I...

Lutherans aren't Catholic.

Here are some: This is a current monarchy: Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and his brother Felix and Sebastien (he's a bit young though) all of Luxembourg. Prince Joseph Wenzel of Liechtenstein is 15 (not sure what ages you're looking for) These are former monarchies: Princes Nicholas and...

Sorry if I muddled things, but I did mean the Official Order of Precedence. HM Queen Catherine, thank you. I believe your info was what I was looking for in an answer. :flowers:

But the Order of Precedence determines seating arrangements and entrances, right?

So...I don't know if this has been answered anywhere but I've been wondering: In the case of an event like a state visit (i.e. from Norway) involving the heir to a visiting sovereign, how do they fit into this? After Princes of the Realm or after The Prince of Wales?

Didn't she make Vanity Fair's International Best Dressed List? I know it's kind of a dubious honor (Duchess of Alba, anyone?), but it is definitely an example of the attention paid to her style. Also, during my days working in a bookstore, I definitely saw the occasional comment about her...

Well, the situation with Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex had never happened before, so it was just a thought. Personally I think the rules of royalty have been changing over the past few decades, so it's never easy to tell what will happen.

It's widely accepted that the tiara Princess Tessy is wearing in this picture is the same as this tiara and, to prove it's still in the main line, Maria Teresa wore it last night for the gala banquet during the state visit to Portugal.

I think it's great that the Grand Ducal couple are making a state visit to the country of most of their immigrant population. I do wonder if they'll actually implement some of the discussed topics (Portuguese language in the schools for one). I thought the tiara looked very appropriate for...

I said it would be ridiculous to expect them to attend. Why is there always such an uproar when the British royals don't attend? Like all weddings that require travel, not everyone can attend (maybe they were busy).

I haven't been a big fan of a lot of her choices lately. My opinion is that the brown jumpsuit was horrible from all views, the dress she wore in Greece, the blouse that looked good the first two times she wore it, the black lace top, any of the pants she's chosen....
