Royals With Many Names & Titles

[CrownPrinceLorenzo]

She does indeed. As well as Queen of the UK, she's Queen of New Zealand, Australia, Canada etc etc and then she's Duke of Lancaster, Lord of Mann etc. And I suppose you could add to that by adding her titles that come with decorations. For example, she's a Grand Dame Commander of Such and Such. Those would add up.

How come it's not "Duchess of Lancaster" or "Lady of Mann"? I've always wondered that. Especially the Lord of Mann title.

She is current Lord of Mann. The title is now Lord of Mann regardless of gender.

and Duke of Lancaster - However, while the Dukedom of Lancaster has not existed since 1413, the Duchy of Lancaster continues to exist as a separate entity from the Crown Estate, one of only two Duchies in the United Kingdom, and currently provides income for the monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. The Sovereign is traditionally styled as Duke of Lancaster, regardless of gender, but this is without legal basis. It is customary at formal dinners (especially in Lancastrian regiments of the armed forces) for the The Loyal Toast to the crown be announced as "The Queen, Duke of Lancaster".

[CrownPrinceLorenzo]

Ahhh, so Victoria was Lady of Mann, but now it's Lord of Mann regardless of gender.

Maybe in the future, female monarchs would also be styled as King. I mean Jadwiga of Poland was crowned King. Same with Cleopatra being crowned as Pharoah. And Japanese female sovereigns have been styled as Tenno (like the current and male Akihito Tenno) in the past.

The Q & A posts concerning the Kings of Poland and Grand Dukes of Lithuania have been moved to the Royal Family of Poland thread.

 

[Sira]

Royals with other titles

Are there any royals who are a Prince or Princess and who have another title like Count or Countess etc

 

[kimebear]

Yes, several. Prince and Princess Edward are the Earl and Countess of Wessex. The Danish Princes and Princesses are Count/Countess of Monpezat. The Swedish Prince/Princesses are Dukes/Duchesses, etc.

 

[Empress]

I believe that there is already a thread on this somewhere, and also

Sometimes, doing a bit of research before posing a question will give you alot of information!

 

[amandamrgt]

Are there any royals who are a Prince or Princess and who have another title like Count or Countess etc

Queen Elizabeth herself has 2 "lower" titles - she's Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy.

I believe that there is already a thread on this somewhere...

I believe this may be the thread you were meant - Questions About Titles. At least, the current topic could easily be discussed there.


.

 

[Marengo]

There is a thread about the 52 titles of the Queen of the Netherlands, which you can find here.

 

[HMTLove23]

Queen Elizabeth herself has 2 "lower" titles - she's Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy..

Don't you Mean Duchess???

 

[amandamrgt]

Don't you Mean Duchess???

No, I'm afraid I did mean Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy.

The Sovereign is styled as Duke of Lancaster, regardless of gender, It is customary at formal dinners for the The Loyal Toast to the crown be announced as "The Queen, Duke of Lancaster".

Relatively the same can be said about the title of the Duke of Normandy, although there are different historical backgrounds for the titles.

- João: the second name, usually, given after a Saint (in this case, St. John).

- Maria José: after the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph.

- Miguel Gabriel Rafael: all members of the Family have those three names, given after the Archangels.

- Gonzaga: all members of the Family have this name, given after St. Louis.

 

[sarahedwards2]

I can't tell the difference between Spanish and Portuguese.

- Gonzaga: all members of the Family have this name, given after St. Louis.

I thought Gonzaga was after St. Aloysius.

 

[BrazilianEmpire]

I can't tell the difference between Spanish and Portuguese.

I'm sorry for you. Portuguese and Spanish are very different languages.

It's not ridiculous. It's a matter of tradition.
