I hope that Charles will continue to modernize the Monarchy so that when Charlotte is an adult it will be less sexist. She should be granted her own Dukedom in her own right. She should not have the peerage given to her spouse. That said, I think she will become The Princess Royal, Duke of...

I do not entirely blame this on H&M or even on recent treatment of them by the press or public. The “Firm” is just like any family business, but with tight rules and structures that are thousands of years old. In many family businesses, children leave because they do not want the role they...

I agree. You can not judge the amount of work public figures do just on the appearances in public. Each hour in public probably requires 2 or 3 in private. In these early days it is probably even more. Being a woman she is judged on her clothing and appearance in a way totally different...

This may be the perfect generation to make the switch to non-hereditary. Assuming no law changes impact Beatrice, the Duke of York title will not be passed on. If Charles makes Edward the Duke of Edinburg, as suggested, he could make that non-hereditary. James would still become an Earl...

What I like about this article is the picture and caption that she attended with the Duchess of Cornwell's brother. It shows some of the normalcy of the royal family. An in-law by marriage is in a foreign city at the same time as a younger family member and invites and/or escorts her to an event.

I agree with your sentiment. I am not sure, however, that these comments are really negative. I think saying that they are dull is a bit of a compliment. I think that they try really hard to be boring!

I think that the Queen would have to at least consider the possibility. Yes, she never planned to abdicate and has said in the past that she would not. When she became Queen, I am not sure that one could contemplate living until 100. There is much talk about a modern monarchy and ensuring...

I like the look. For those that don't like it with the black shoes, maybe it was on purpose. Black and White together for the Mandela premier.

I agree. Isn't it also highly likely that she will be a counsellor of state for at least some period of time? If the Queen passes before George is 21, then Beatrice will serve until he is 21. The Queen is 87, George is 3 months old. It is also possible that Charles could die before a second...

My guesses for godparents heavily focus on the BRF and royal, but do have a mixture. No one in Diana's family is a godparent to William, so it is possible that no Spencer will be picked. I don't see William doing that to Kate, and I think she will be represented and be able to include her...

In your scenario, should you add 2 to account for William or Harry having boys and in order to have the grandchildren Wiilliam or harry's son (s)would presumably have a wife. If you assume that each has one boy and one girl, there would be 2 more wives. Also, Let's say the soon to be baby C...
