Sorry to make my first post a correction, but he is survived by 10 great-grandchildren, the 11th is due in the summer. Easy mistake to of made, as 2 have been born this year already.

  • The two Phillips girls
  • Prince George (2013), Princess Charlotte (2015) and Prince Louis (2018) of Cambridge.
  • Archie Mountbatten-Windsor (2019)
  • August Philip Hawke Brooksbank (born 9 February 2021)
  • Lucas Philip Tindall (born 21 March 2021) - he has 2 older sisters.
source: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/queen-duke-of-edinburgh-great-grandchildren-b926033.html plus many other sources.

The yet to be named Miss Mountbatten-Windsor will make 11 in the summer of 2021.

Apologies again for my first post being a correction. I have really enjoyed reading the Royal Milestones for a while now.
 
Prince Muhammad bin Talal of Jordan died on 29 April.

He was born on 2 October 1941 in Amman (Jordan) as second child and son of Talal bin Abdullah (1909-1972) [himself son of Abdullah I bin al-Hussein, then Emir of Transjordan (British protectorate and since 1946 first King of independent Jordan as Abdullah I (1882-1951) & his first wife Musbah bint Nasser (1884-1961) daughter of Amir Nasser Pasha and his wife Dilber Khanum ] & his wife (and first cousin) Zein al-Sharaf (1916-1994).
Abdullah I was assassinated in Jerusalem in 1951, and Talal became king. Talal's most revered achievement as king is the establishment of Jordan's modern constitution in 1952, rendering his kingdom as a constitutional monarchy. He ruled for less than thirteen months until he was forced to abdicate by Parliament due to mental illness—reported as schizophrenia. Talal spent the rest of his life at a sanatorium in Istanbul and died there.
Prince Muhammad was married twice:
He married firstly to Firyal Irshaid (b.1945) [daughter of the late Farid Mahmoud Irshaid, a political leader who served as a Minister in the Government and a Parliamentarian in the Senate in Jordan; her mother Farida was Chair of the Red Crescent Society in The West Bank.] in 1964 by whom he had two sons Talal (b.26 July 1965) & Ghazi (b.16 October 1966); they divorced in 1978.
He marrid secondly in 1981 Taghrid Majali [daughter of Hazza' al-Majali (1917-1960) a two time Prime Minister of Jordan who was assassinated in 1960 while in office, & his wife Samiha Rfifan al-Majali.]

He is survived by his wife, two sons and seven grandchildren.

Freiherr Dietrich von Gumppenberg, died Thursday, after tragically involved in a car accident on Wednesday.
the link is to Zeit, highly recommended serious magazine in germany, but in german
https://www.zeit.de/news/2021-04/30...torben?utm_referrer=https://www.startpage.com

Gumppenberg was both PR man and Politician for the liberal party FDP.
I can confirm the Zeit saying he is a real unique original LOl once you heard him speak you never forget. Though my german was still poor his gestures and glances would help understand LOL
May he rest in peace.

Both websites are mistaken about the daughters of his second marriage, I'm afraid. His daughters identify themselves with the family and surname of their mother, which information is found in many places, including their pages on social media.
