I cannot help wonder what Islam would say to about putting aside children for the child of your favorite. Also say what you will about Abdullah but his personal life is better than his father and his brother. His home life is far more stable. Isn’t his brother already on a second wife...

Arranged marriages are very common in that culture so I don’t see the big deal if that is how it came about. Looking at the photos they seem happy. I am quite sure he wouldn’t have mentioned her if he wasn’t attracted etc

I am actually on Abdullah’s side on this actually. I think it was extremely unfair of King Hussein to ask his son or his brother to bypass their own children in favor of Queen Noors son. If Kings play games like this bypassing their older children in favor of whoever they are with at the time...

Why would it be immature? If the discussion is a title for him. And he asked for that title instead of being made the Duke of Cambridge. But his Father told him that he wanted him to have his title when he died. So instead of insisting on the Higher rank right now he took the lesser one. He...

Being heir is about birth Order not merit but I don’t think it’s fair to say Harry served his country William did not. William did serve as a search and rescue helicopter pilot and I believe even passed more certifications than his brother. However because he was the heir he was not allowed...

The difference is the Duke inherited a lot of estates that belonged to the crown so the pay off was for that and not as hush money

Maybe the niece Ashley? She seemed very levelheaded.

Yes who knows about Andrew and his daughters I am actually not talking about the wedding but more the fact that Edward took his time before marrying someone. And definitely made the best first marriage choice of all of his siblings. Now it may be he learned from example of what not to do...

Why not? Especially when at the same time Edward was playing ball and agreeing his kids should not be called Prince and Princess? Unlike his brother and nephew. He is not throwing fits now about the title. So Edward wasn’t cut out for the military. It can be mature to know oneself and to have...

I don’t understand why a Dukedom is a big deal. I mean you have other dukes who aren’t tied to the crown. It seems befitting that the Monarchs other descendants should be able to pass down something. His or Her Grace styling isn’t the same as HRH

My understanding is Peter Philip was offered titles but said no. If Phillip truly wanted that title to be passed down closer to succession he could have asked it to be held for Harry he didn’t. He wanted it to go to Edward and his kids. Something of his for Edwards descendants. The could...

On Edwards marriage they announced their kids wouldn’t be princes and princesses and Charles would give grant Edward that title. Edwards plan was to have kids. There are plenty of titles available for Charlotte and Louis. Charlotte can be a Princess Royal eventually. Louis can inherit his...

Prince Phillip wanted it to go to Edward and by extension his grandson James. Queen Elizabeth wanted it as well. Charles is getting the crown. Andrew for the Duke of York. (His grandfathers title) And they wanted Edward to have his fathers title It’s just mean and churlish the son who has...

I agree with the idea These are very privileged people complaining. I don’t think it’s right for the Queens grandchilden to lose their place in succession just for marrying a commoner especially since Frederick married a commoner. They can just fall further down the line

I would absolutely agree that the children and their parents don’t look good complaining. Some of it is on the parents who should have drilled into them they were not in the same situation as their cousins. I got to say Madeline and Carl-Phillipe look like complete class acts. You also...

This is where I have to disagree with you. I personally don’t think Frederick and Margrethe get to be called rational when they are the ones who benefit the most from the monarchy. Their titles aren’t being sacrificed They are doing everything to protect themselves. There is no telling that...

I don’t know I think in general Edward and Sophie are more sensible about these things. The way they approached even getting married. I think being the youngest and always being so far removed from the throne can give you some perspective. Sophie said they want their kids to understand they are...

It’s what Phillip wanted. He wanted the title to live on with his descendants where it wouldn’t be an afterthought. He was really clear about it. Plus Edward and Sophie have been really good to Charles. Standing behind him doing their part but not clamoring for more. It makes sense to give...

I think one of the biggest issues here IMO is that the assumption that people want a "progressive monarchy." I think that more than likely the public want what they see from the Queen quietly doing their duty and what they see from Will and Kate. Frankly also if you want privacy why are you...

My understanding is their might have been immigrantion issues to she had fiancés visa six months. Studies show couples with two to three years of courtship before marriage less likely to divorce. But studies show after that couples are actually more likely to divorce. If your facilating that...

I think they could use the help though. Besides is Meghan and Harry truly that much of a whirlwind romance they were together for at least a year and half. It doesn’t compare to Diana that was ridiculous. The only issue was it was long distance and she I don’t think got a good understanding...

I don’t think Harry going to the Queen is indicative of a bad relationship. I think it’s more I go to the one more likely to spoil me. I suspect William, Harry, Charles have ups and downs of a relationship. Charles and Diana’s relationship took two. I suspect the sons know that more than...

I am quite sure that it is not the case that the people of Jordan want their Queen poorly dressed. But they also especially in a poorer country don’t want to feel money is being wasted and even if borrowed or special price wasted. The Dutchess of Cambridge is praised for recycling clothing...

I wonder if Hisahito is old enough if his father will want to just bypass being Emperor altogether and have his son follow his Uncle. It's best for him to be the heir right now but 15 years from now? I am glad the Emperor and the Empress are being allowed to retire... They deserve a break and...

I read him also say he was worried about his daughter and that if in a few years time they still want to marry. Maybe he would have been better of saying private matter but wasn't it already a scandal. In this circumstance I think considering the royal family seemed welcoming until the...
