If you could’ve arranged marriages between royals and other royals

[Dantheman]

Obviously in the past a lot of royals tended to marry other royals do if you could pick royal partners for other royals who would you pair up?? Or what royal marriage would you arrange for our younger royals??

For me King Charles would be married to Margareta of Romania or grand duchess Maria vladimirovna - I think him and Margareta seem to get Along well enough and I’d love to see what Maria would’ve been like as Queen consort

William with Theodora of greece

Lady Louise Windsor with Christian of Denmark and then she would be a future queen!!

William with Madeleine of Sweden would have been a perfect match in terms of age, religion, etc.

Leonor, Princess of Asturias with Gabriel of Belgium is also an excellent match.

Ooh I like that of Christian and Louise.

How about Charlotte and Nicholas of Sweden as well?

James Earl of Wessex and Leonor of Sweden?

[Prinsara]

Charles and Anne-Marie.

Estelle and either Vincent of Denmark or Louis of Wales if she feels like a younger guy.

Infanta Sofia and Gabriel of Belgium.

Frederik and Märtha Louise — let them work out their issues on each other!

I think Leonore of Sweden is a better match in terms of age for Prince George of Wales. They are both 9, aren't they? If I am not mistaken, George is only 7 months or so older than Leonore, but I don't quite remember.

When they are adults a few months or even a handful of years will likely matter far less.

I laughed when I saw the suggestion of Louise and Christian. Although they're two years apart, she seems so much more grown up at this point, she could be 10 years older. (But, who knows? I wonder if they've ever met.)

It's the same with Queen Anne-Marie and King Charles. They're two years apart, I think, but he still seemed like a little boy when she married King Constantine.

If there are any blue-eyed princesses born circa 2006, then one of them for future emperor Hisahito of Japan, in the hopes that Hiranuma Takeo (the politician who stated prior to Hisahito's birth that "If Aiko becomes the reigning empress, and gets involved with a blue-eyed foreigner while studying abroad and marries him, their child may be the emperor. We should never let that happen") will be asked to comment.

[W.Y.CII]

That's wild but I love it I do hope Aiko marrys aboard (to royal or non royal), just to get rid of the IHA

Lady Louise and Gabriel of Belgium.

SM of Norway and C-A of the Netherlands (isn't her mother his godmother? The connection is here)

(I know he already has a girlfriend but) Count Nikolai and Elisabeth of Belgium

Maud Behn and Christian of Denmark (Margarethe would appreciate her artistic talent BTW interesting that Maud could be the Queen of Norway if absolute primogeniture applies to her mother.)

Jacques of Monaco and Leonore of Sweden

Charlotte of Wales and Oscar of Sweden

Between the rival branches of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, the Castro girls with the Calabria younger boys

I don’t think a lot of people would be accepting of a foreigner marrying into the Imperial family regardless of whether they were royal or not. I think if the person is a Japanese regardless of whether they are from a rich family, an honourable and educated family like Empress Masako’s, a middle class but respectable and educated family, a bride from one of the old former branches of the Imperial family or from one of the former nobles or an important government officials family like the late Prime minister Shinzo Abe’s.

Well the slight difference between reigning royals of the old days and ones of today is that most of the current ones are married to people who aren’t royal.

What could have been a great match would be Infanta Maria Francisca of Portugal and Prince Georg of Liechtenstein. But alas she’s happily engaged.

I think Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein and future Queen Elisabeth of Belgium.

Prince Wenzel of Liechtenstein and Princess Natasha d’Arenberg (since there aren’t a lot of reigning princesses his age to marry, a lady from a mediatized family whose family once reigned over a duchy and are now part of the Belgian nobility will have to do)

Princess Laetitia Maria of Habsburg d’Este (daughter of Prince Lorenz) with Prince Alexandre d’Arenberg or Prince Georg of Liechtenstein.

isn't this all ludicrous. Arranged marriages have gone out and nobody wants them back.

Laetitia Maria is a Princess of Belgium, like her father and mother. Her surname is "d'Autriche-Este (Habsbourg-Lorraine)".

There continue to be a good number of royal-royal marriages, and they seem particularly common in the Middle Eastern royal houses.

Given that the OP's premise includes forum posters arranging marriages for dead people, this is obviously not intended as a realistic simulation.

As for your statement that "Arranged marriages have gone out and nobody wants them back": Arranged marriages remain the standard in many cultures, and many people who are in happy arranged marriages no doubt do "want" their marriages.

[Denville]

I doubt if anyone in the royal community wants them back, since they have caused such grief to many many people, what is the point of this?

There are plenty of royals outside Europe who do them and some in Europe who do them. How many people have been affected?

These aren’t even real matches, so I don’t see what’s the fuss

I am not sure what you mean by "this". Arranged marriages? Or lighthearted threads for entertaining hypotheticals? Non-arranged marriages and serious forum discussions about real events have also "caused such grief to many many people".

As this is not the appropriate thread for a serious discussion about the merits of arranged royal marriages, I have posted my reply to your other comment (about not wanting arranged marriages) here:

Well I meant most European reigning royals, but the Middle Eastern royals are the exception.

I'm afraid that the words "arranged marriages" in the topic has been taken out of context. OP has never mentioned "bringing back 'arranged marriage'". "If you could've arranged marriage between royals" is more about "which two royals could be a nice match".

Unless you think royal-royal marriage is equal to arranged marriage.

And I thought it supposed to be a lighthearted, entertaining thread.

Some people see it “differently” and don’t realise it’s not serious at all

It is a fun hypothetical- if you don’t find it interesting or fun then please feel free to not read the thread. No one is suggesting that these will happen ie obviously Charles and Margareta of Romania are not going to marry. It really was just meant to be a spot of harmless fun

I would like to see Princess Leonor of Asturias with Prince Gabriel of Belgium.

Infanta Sofia stayed with Prince Christian of Denmark and so Sofia also became queen.

Prince George of England stayed with Princess Josephine of Denmark.

Princess Estelle of Sweden was with Prince Vincent of Denmark.

Princess Isabella of Denmark stayed with James, son of the Dukes of Edinburgh.
