For members of the Royal family medical health has always been a public passtime. From examination for chastity to scrutiny for diabetes there has always been much ado about health. I am grateful that royals get good medical care. In some countries there is no care for the poor, starving and...

Royal Life in This Decade Events within the Royal family have appeared as bickering and fighting. Conflict is the way we express differences of opinion as are discussion and negotiation. Many Royals may feel the strain of the glass houses that they live in. The queen pressed forward open...

Protocols and Exhaustion Photos of the Royal Family standing at the procession for the queen appeared on television today. Members of the family are beyond exhaustion. Guards and lords should be allowed to stand instead of the family. Many of the family are diabetic and long hours standing can...

Queen and Country What great sorrow this week has wrought. Queen Elizabeths' passing is a great blow to the world. Her long life of service to her country will not be forgotten. In the next days the changes of the royals regnant will be many. With the strength of Lions the family will move...

Apparently at the Groupon add on the internet you may for ten or twelve dollars purchase a title. Even as an American this just enrages me. Through the years titles have been bought, sold and gifted by people as if it were a game. Birthright remains for descendants of royals yet many carry no...

I am saddened that Prince Harry and his wife are not returning to public life. Titles are for those who are performing the duties however. We must understand that they are the understudies so to speak for Prince William and his wife. Often those not first in line are in different places with...

Medical conditions First of all best wishes to Prince Phillip. Get well soon! Secondly there are more than forty medical conditions that are heritable in the royal family, including hair and eyes color changes. Each family has a list. Some are dominant and some aren't.

Let me try to answer. I am American also. Acknowledging a royal is always good. Bow, nod,lower your eyes or whatever is correct for the place and time. Do not attract attention to yourself. Royals in America often need more guards and travel in the open as it is safe here. If you do not know...

There is much chatter about titles on the web for several royals. In general a prince and princess are birth titles. Titles of domain like a Duchy or Duke however have duties. Many years back discussion about the Marlboro title was presented. As an American I believe those with titles of domain...

Movies from real history I would like a movie of Queen Sophia and King Gustov. Their lives are remarkable. I would also like to see King Maximilian of MEXICO and Queen Beatrix. Their lives are in ways similar to the last monarchs of Greece as the politics changed. I think it is important to see...

Stepping back Sometimes we step back to step forward. The US rag mags read Markle defies crown etc... In the next twenty years the royal family will be instrumental in creation of economies, jobs and goodwill. I am glad that they have chosen to build wealth and family. Family connection is what...

Marriage is about a contract between two persons to be wed. All have their problems but marriage with love and monetary privilege is always a blessing. The key is that the two people work at it so they get what they want out of it. When bloodline is an issue there are ways to get the match you...

There are so many children of this line it is difficult to include them all. Perhaps the best way to look is to the House Bourbon. Most members of this house are of the line. And then look at the Coat of Arms of the house you are in. Charlemagne's Coat of Arms has variations of the trinity on...

Is there a way to remove posts that have closed sites on them? The last three links I clicked had been removed.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder really, however fashion is a fickle woman for sure. Be thankful that the duchess does not wear Oprah's sweatpants, Kim Kardashian's dresses or three quarter length arms and legs on her pants. She is always, refined and presentable. When I look at the clothing...

Ack, wish I had seen this earlier. Trousers are not at all what you would wear to a polo match unless you are expected to hold the horse groom it or ride it. I would have suggested a dress short but below the knee with a pattern print on it with a plain hat and ribbon. And then a sensible shoe...

This is truly a complicated matter indeed. It depends on the country you are in and if your president is a knight or decorated by the other country. In most places a royal in any country would be an honored guest in that country. The president would be the host and they would meet as equal...

This is not exactly correct. Equality in leadership of countries is tough. Some are democracy, autocracy,oligarchy and so on. Additionally anyone knighted has a rank below HRH.

Being a royal is work every day all day long, the notoriety is annoying at best and the paparazzi a lot of stuff to deal with. Royal engagements often pay poorly and the hours are terrible. Some days even the people are awful. Perhaps this should be better rephrased, we she work in a corporate...

Diana was one of a kind. Do not wish her life on anyone. Her death was tragic. Let each Royal forge ahead like the stars that only they can be. And besides,brunettes have more fun we know!

Lovely new photos of the babies! The new photos released of the young prince and princess are wonderful. You can see the Queen in the young princess. You can also see the influence of the male royals on the prince. I was astounded though at how thin Lady Kate was in the photos. Since the camera...

Rules There are rules about regnant royals versus non regnant. A regent rules for a regnant royal by their side until they are of majority age. Check with debretts. They might have more information on this for you.

manners You do not ask the queen to retire. That is her decision.She is a sensible woman and will consider that when the time is right. I hope she lives to 105.She is the most fun of all the political figures over 50.She keeps the world young at heart.

monograms and more This sounds like a book wanting to be written. All the royal initials, monagrams, nic names and how they were designed. Think time life movies or a Royal documentary. Now,who might be willing to write it?

Pearl choker One of the pearl chokers may have been a gift from Leopold but I cannot remember to whom he gave it. Try looking at his jewels. I also remember a large Emerald strand given from Queen Isabella to a Lady traveling with a bishop. I will look for references on these.
