A Potential Wife for Prince Harry - Page 29

**Zonk** · #**561** 03-27-2011, 11:06 AM

William I believe at one time dated the daughter of Charles's manager (or something along those lines). And for all intents and purposes, Andrew married one as well.

So anything is really possible. Most people tend to meet their significant other as someone the go/went to school with, socialize with, work with or go to church with. Or are friends of a friend. Of course, there is that I met them at a club, dinner, event, etc. That is certainly plausible.

Meaning Harry can certainly meet his future wife at a club (so the club ladies have the right thinkig) or a polo match. If its someone who is tied to the military I am thinking maybe someone's daughter?

I see no reason why Harry couldn't live off Chelsy's millions but why should he when he has his own? I believe he has trusts from Diana, the Queen Mother, and the late Frances Shand Kydd (who supposedly left him a million pounds).

Gastrikland and Halsingland. I can't do the umlauts on my computer, but they're in there. So theoretically, he would be the same as Daniel, in that he'd be HRH Prince Henry, Duke of Gastrikland and Halsingland.

For him or her couldn't it go a bit like Caroline of Monaco's title- HRH Prince Henry,Duke of Gastrikland and Galsingland, hereditary Prince of Great Britian....something along those lines? But of course it's a hypothesis since Madeline and Harry probably will not marry

Hereditary Prince of Great Britain would imply that he's heir to the throne, and he's not. Caroline is at the moment heir to the throne of Monaco because Albert has no legitimate children. That will more than likely change after he and Charlene marry, though.

Normally when a prince and princess marry, she takes his titles/styles, not the other way around. One would assume that to marry Madeleine and live in Sweden and represent their royal family, Henry would have to renounce any titles/claims he has to the British throne first. So he would basically just be Henry Mountbatten-Windsor, and any titles he gains through marriage would be at the will and favor of Madeleine's father, the King. It would be similar to his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh.

I don't know why Harry won't have plenty of opportunities to meet all kinds of women. Among other places, he'll run across women during his charity work (isn't that how Prince Edward met Sophie?). I can see him marrying a strong, passionate charity worker. Just my two cents.

Me too ! I would love for that to happen!

I'm probably late as usual but has everyone seen the British GQ cover?

Through the normal course of daily life and commitments, friends they had in common, and through converging interests..

Peter has basically been raised not a member of the BRF so that was not surprising. The fact is though that Harry other than military, does not socialize with unconnected people. When he goes out, he hangs out with the aristocracy, or the rich, even if they are new blood rich like Kate's family. Yes it is possible, when he eventually does some charity work in the UK, he may end up like Edward meeting Sophie, but I'd not hold my breath on that. The fact is that no matter what a rebel people think he is, he knows what his possible wife will face, she may not be one day queen, but she'll be a Duchess, and as the daughter and then sister in law to a king, she'll have a huge role to fill. I know people keep looking at the Cinderella stories on the continent and hoping for another, but I think at the very least we will see someone like Kate.

Just saying that since Kate didn't really have a royal connection aside from just mtg William, maybe Harry could meet someone like that too...

I have another question, if Harry married Chelsy and she inheritied millions, could they live off that? Or does the 'royal' lifestyle supercede her $? (hope this question makes sense)

They don't have to be royally connected, but the sister of his rich friend is going to be rich isn't she?

And Chelsy's parents may be rich but the kind of money needed for all the royal engagements and such, I think you'd run through an inheritance quick.

Even if they married, hypothetically, and she came to GB, wouldn't he still be entitled to a position in Sweden? Or would she be forced to give up her title as Princess of Sweden on marriage? I mean Sweden has equal primogeniture, allowing for the husband to take his wife's rank, which usually doesn't happen. Daniel became a Prince of Sweden through his marriage. Would Harry be entitled to be a Prince of Sweden, or only if they married and remained in Sweden and not in the UK?

I said sister of a commrode and sorry I wasn't clear but I meant maybe someone in military with him, which we all know doesn't have to be rich ....

After this Oh No They Didn't! - Look at this GQ Royal MF! he will be getting even more proposes (btw, I don't know where to post this link, so if any of the moderators could help.... :) )

I too posted this picture but in a different thread

! Great pictures though. It will help in the wife-hunting stakes.

I agree with Iluvbertie's post about the unrealistic expectations placed on a royal bride but I just don't see Harry and Chelsy going the distance quite yet. That could change if they showed some stability in their relationship. I found the Daily Mail article quite weird because they claimed that Harry's prefers aristocrats and yet all the girlfriends I have heard of don't have any "royal blood." Oh well it is fun to speculate. I still prefer some unknown person for him.

That's actually not what equal primogeniture means. Equal primogeniture means the eldest child inherits, regardless of gender. It doesn't mean that husbands take their rank from their wives, as that has nothing to do with inheritance. The situation with Daniel was very new, because Sweden hasn't had a female heir to the throne in centuries. I think the last Swedish queen regnant was in the early 1700s. So everything they've done and will do, once Victoria ascends the throne, will be very groundbreaking.

Love the cover pic!!

Daria_S · #**575** 03-27-2011, 05:35 PM

It took me a while to recognize him on that picture actually. He looks older, more mature.

He does look more mature but in a great way like "fine wine"

I agree wholeheartedly. :)

Whoever Prince Harry marries, I would think that the woman that he marries be someone who is kind, respectful of others, likes children and love horses. Someone who is interested in the world and not just her own little world.

Somehow I picture him with a woman who is athletic and doesn't mind or care if once in a while her hair, nails or clothing isn't perfect or isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves to help out others. I don't see him with a woman who doesn't want to get her hair wet in the rain or a woman who doesn't like horses or being outdoors.

I still think Chelsy is a good choice for him even though others don't.

4Pam · #**579** 03-28-2011, 12:53 AM

Love the GQ cover. Harry gets more handsome with age.

I'd love to see Harry marry a woman who really loves him for the man he is and not what he has to offer.

Dutch · #**580** 03-28-2011, 01:55 AM

He looks a lot like a young Prince Phillip in that cover shot. How people can still insist he's not Charles' kid is beyond me.

And I know I've been out of the royal loop for decades now, so maybe things have changed, but I can't help but think that his girlfriend looks like a...how shall I put? Like a lady of the evening? Can I say that here?
