I think the corgis did it!

I suppose it all boils down to the idea of what is fabulously wealthy. Maybe Marina didn't immediately deacquisition all the family Faberge, but Michael was also a grandson of Queen Mary, who only died on 1953. She had a sensational collection, especially of parasol handles. The full trove of...

The mess of the title 'Princess Consort' is also a global legal nightmare. Every commonwealth country where Charles would be King would have to pass immediate legislation validating this lesser title, by which time not only would the accession council have taken place, but the Garter King of...

The Duchy of Cornwall does not revert to the Crown. That 'reversion' duchy is by attainder The Duchy of Lancaster which always embodies in the person of the monarch. The Queen is the current Duke of Lancaster. The Duchy of Cornwall, like its Scots counterpart the Duchy of Rothesay, are the two...

Marina didn't just have to beg for maoney, she had to have a 'firesale' of all their fabulous faberge for a pittance. She was reduced to living on the Duke's war service pension, which considering both David and bertie were fabulusly wealthy says a lot about Christian charity in that family

The British aristocracy is not so much Spencer Churchills, ie Dukes of Marlborough, Earl Spencers etcetera, but members of Cavendish Bentinck family-The Dukes of Portland. Current or recently deceased collateral members in the Royal family who are Portands include HM the Late Queen Mother...

Winston Churchill forced the current Queen to reinstate the name of House of Windsor in 1955 following unguarded comments made by Dickie Mountbatten in London circles in the 50's that the "Battenburgs" 'now ruled in England.' It is accepted that descendents of H.M. The Queen and HRH the Prince...

There are lots of fabulous 'berts' from the early middle ages. Adelbert, Egbert, Camembert etc. Even Croquembert shouldn't be discounted. Pity the poor lad at Eton though... he's a croque!!!!

For a girl I think it highly likely either Lady Elizabeth-Mary, Lady Mary, or lady May. I felt Louise was a bit of a surprise. they probably expected a boy. If he had been a boy it would have been Lord Louis Mountbatten-Windsor for sure. The supposed connection with Queen Louise of Sweden istoo...

I am intrigued because a search of the Almanac de Gotha will show the Frankopan de Duomi's are Holy Roman Princes as much as the Leichensteins. Why is then that she is not accorded the title of Princess Paola of Kent, as would be the norm, and not the usually used Lady Nicholas Windsor? Did they...

The problem with reinstating the Tsar in Russia, is the question of just who? The Grand Duchess Maria seems to be disqualified under the family rule regarding the inequal marriage of her parents.Because of Salic law the descendents of Xenia Alexandrovitch can be ruled out. Do we then go to...

Diana looks like a Goldsmith? Do you mean Lady Annabel or Sir James? or is this just the long faced Norman features that have outed in Jemima and her brother Zac?

Like any extended family there are bound to be likes and dislikes. I remember Viscount Linley famously saying the worst thing in the world would be dinner with Princess Michael. After the late Queen Mothers nephew married the nurse, the family had nothing to do with either of them until both had...

If anyone bothered to line up photos of Harry and his Spencer cousins, and especially photos of Harry and his two paternal aunts, Lady Jane and Lady Sarah, and their mother Frances Shand-Kydd, it would startling obvious to all concerned that he is a true Spencer. Don't I recall that Pce Charles...

Does Camilla work? Heavens girl it would be a fulltime job just keeping your head straight, and your wig on front and centre dealing with that MAD family. May I just refresh your memory about a certain lass that went by the name of Diana Spencer. Cast your poor mind back to some of the better...

SorryFanletizia, C.P.Mary WAS an australian, she had to relinquish her citizenship when she married Frederick.

I find it very interesting that various memebers of this site can have such strident opinions on a person that they most likely do not know personally, nor have a reasoned view of the 'type' of life that people like Pce Charles lead.Just imagine for a minute never being able to decide on a...
