But she is not nee Romero, she is Alejandra Romero Suárez. Women in Spain do not change their names after they are married. And the way yhe original post was worded implies heavily that she is not a Duchess in her own right, and that her husband, who is merely a Duke jure uxoris, is the actual hereditary duke.

Anyway, congratulations to the family.



I’m aware of the Spanish naming customs. The way the original post was worded may have seemed that way to you but I can assure you no intentions of what I’m being accused of were meant. It was obviously a slip up and I don’t understand why people feel the need to judge others and accuse them of having a certain viewpoint over what was clearly a mistake these days.

The internet translation of the article is more at fault because I based my post off that. I will leave the announcements to someone else in future if everyone has a problem with my posts.

With respect, there was no judgment of or comment about others, nor any accusation of having a certain viewpoint, in the post you quoted. It was no more than a considerate and factual clarification, which I appreciated, for any readers of the thread (including myself) who are not comprehensively aware of the inheritance of the dukedom of Suárez and/or Spanish naming customs.

I can assure you that no one "has a problem with [your] posts" or wishes you to leave off posting announcements. :flowers:

Speaking generally, and speaking as a poster who now and then writes posts which feature mistakes or are confusingly worded, it is my sincere hope that on those occasions, other people will not be dissuaded from alerting the thread and myself to the problem, and/or correcting the mistake.

There may not have been to your eyes, but there was to mine. I had suddenly made one mistake and instead of just correcting me, I was accused of being not progressive, etc. It didn’t exactly make me feel like my posts were appreciated.

Your statement saying that you hope my post doesn’t deter anyone from making corrections also leaves a stale taste in my mouth. It’s not exactly fair to accuse someone of putting people off from contributing to the thread.

I was hoping this would just blow over as I do not like always being the one who has to point out certain things they find uncomfortable and leaving a negative atmosphere in the thread.
 
Hello, Princess Victoria Augusta of Prussia (b.1986) and husband Caspar Helmore (b.1987) had their second child and first daughter: Honor Beatrice Celeste Helmore on September 8th 2020.

Lovely family name :flowers:

Honor was the name of the eldest sister of Lady Brigid Guiness, Victoria's paternal grandmother. Its also the name of her first cousin. Her father's youngest sister is Antonia, Duchess of Wellington. Antonia's eldest daughter is Lady Honor Wellesley.

I wonder if Celeste is a name from her husband's family or they just liked.

which of the twins was born first? - it wouldn't affect the Hanover order of succession, but it could affect the British order of succession

Nicolas:

Hannover

P.S. Christian and his children are soooooo faaaaar in the British order of succession that it definitely doesn't matter to him (Christian maybe is already excluded because he married a Roman Catholic; the twins may also be baptized as Roman Catholics, they live permanently in Spain).
