Imperatrice Farah Pahlevi was studying architecture before married shah, she could become an architect designer.

I believe Queen Noor was an architect before her marriage. That's how she met King Hussein, I believe she was designing some sort of construction in Jordan. As for Rania, I think she was an economist, not sure though. Lalla Salma was an information engineer or software engineer. I'm pretty sure she was in the IT industry at any rate.

Princess Caroline = Ballet first dancer , then director

What they became: ( their real profession, what they studied):

Princess Stephanie = fashion design

Prince Albert = political sciences, economics and administration

"This is a nice thread but it makes me sad that these royals can not fufill thier occupational dreams."

You could look at it that way but in some ways they are now able to do something they could never have done before. Take Letizia, for example, as a journalist she probably would have loved the opportunity to meet and interview heads of state. She now gets to do that and in a much more informal setting. I imagine alot of Royals would tailor their work duties to their interests.

Yes, you are right with that..Another example- Crown Princess Masako, She was an active diplomat,travelling in different countries before she married Prince Naruhito.The princess enjoyed her job but after she married the prince, she fell into depression because she cant do the things she usually does, a lot was restricted and her foreign travels were limited plus putting up pressure on her to bear a son..but she's recovering from depression now and thats the good thing..Indeed, its a sad thing that royals cant fulfill their occupational dreams-Its the prize that the crown princesses have to pay for marrying their princes..but they have a life ahead serving their country and duty to their family..sorry this is a bit off the topic

[galuhcandrakirana]

Just my thinking that if Grimaldi is not a royal: Stephannie would be a sircus owner and her brother Albert is a presenter of a big cabaret, her sister Caroline is a Channel haute couture designer

Mary worked in advertising? I'm so confused. I've heard she's a lawyer, that she was a real estate agent and that she worked for Microsoft. Now you say advertising? Which was it?

Pavlos as a hotel manager is funny.

Any ideas for the Kings and Queens of Norway and Sweden?

In fact I don't think that Mary was a " Lawyer" because it's a specific profession, may be she practiced law inside a firm but it dosen't means that she is a lawyer ( which one barrister or sollicitor?) I'm not sure that she have the good diploma to be Lawyer.

[Penny Lane]

Prince Charles-a hortacultrist

Queen Elizabeth-a breeder of Corgis

Princess Anne Horse Breeder and running a riding school that take in children form all walks of life

Zara Phillips -a vet-mainly for horses and dogs

Prince Edward T.V. Producer and host

Sophie-public relations

Prince William- an art historian

Prince Harry -polo manager/club owner

Queen Margarthe-artist and set desinger for movies or the theater

Princess Madeleine of Sweeden-first a model then she would work in the cosmetic industry

Princess Caroline-theater director

I will try to think of more.

[rosana]

Can someone tell me if Mary is a lawyer????? I was sure she was.

[Marengo]

the late Queen Juliana once said in an interview that if she wouldn't have been a Queen she would be a social worker for sure.

I assume Princess Margriet would have become a nurse, as she was trained for that.

Maxima probably would have stayed in banking.
