queen opening parliment question Can anyone tell me who the two women wearing white dresses were? They followed the Queen into the speech, and then just stood their while she talked. Were they her lady's in waiting or something? The broadcasters identified everyone except for them. Thanks

ok, so now i think my question has changed. why do they use their duke and duchess or count and countess titles over their prince and princess ones?

the people who attended the kings funeral were: President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen Sheikh Al Khalifeh of Baharian President Omar Hassan Al Bashir of Sudan Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat President Hafez Al Assad of Syria...

thanks for the explanation. i got confused because i figured that when sophie married edward she would be a princess, but shes only a countess. i didnt know that the men kept thier origonal titles as well.

why are the british royals given lower titles when they marry?
