Even if Charles didn’t wish to see Harry’s children (which I doubt), if Harry did come with them and asked to see Charles then I very much doubt the king would turn him down. For PR purposes alone if nothing else, how would it look for Charles to decline to see his grandchildren? Regarding...

Has Meghan done some genealogical and dna research linking her ancestry to Nigeria? Or someone else on her behalf.

Personally I feel no celebrity visiting kids matters, apart from those actors who dress up as superheroes. Visiting adults in hospitals seems more meaningful to me if it it is done, at least if the celebrities have some time to actually talk rather than just to take a photo. Or if either visit...

The point how little power even tabloids have now to control the social media narratives was interesting. One reason I found this forum last year was because I was getting tired how in social media if the royals were talked of there were so much baseless speculation, and I wanted to find calmer...

It’s the more ancient history and royalty that interest me the most (like can be seen from my photo, it’s Augustan family cameo). But my parents read magazines that mention royalty often so I did read plenty about royalty growing up. I am from Finland so the Swedish royal family is almost...

Since she was outside it’s a bit less likely than in a studio but it’s not impossible. But she has a lot of experience or public speaking by this point, so I don’t think she would need one.

He did spread the rumors to wide public outside of gossip spheres however. And there is no real evidence of this and it’s old rumors from 2019 that just resurfaced because of the conspiracies of the absence of Catherine. Him mentioning the rumors makes it look like now something has happened and...

2024 now has been even worse to the British royal family that some of the past years. Prayers to her, and hopefully her children didn’t have to listen to the conspiracy theories.

Hopefully the press won’t make a too big deal out of this so she can mourn in peace.

What’s the reason why the cousins got estranged?

You have to be titled not to be a commoner. And being a foreigner doesn't protect you from scrutiny so it isn’t an advantage over being from the same country (unless the entire dating happens in the other country perhaps). And currently people are more aware of the national backgrounds of the...

These were my feelings for me regarding the situation as well. That House of Commons and US president were informed gives the impression that this is series. It doesn’t mean it has to be terribly concerning but it is not something to be dismissed. He has given enough information in any case for...

She deserves the retirement but its sad there won’t be any other ruling Queens in the world after her abdication. I don’t know when was the last time for that to happen, maybe in 1700s or even earlier? It will be a while most likely before Victoria becomes Queen.

Are we assuming they are invited at this point? But hopefully everyone will have a wonderful Christmas in couple of days!

I imagine he does want himself good publicity and seem victim of the royal family regarding this matter. But I think that’s a secondary motive, he has real agenda against the press and took an opportunity to attack them in court. Also I think he would want the money and be frustrated he wasn’t...

Apparently there will be more information on her podcast but if the surgery went well then hopefully she should be doing well with recovery.

I think in general the jewelry choices of royals can be baffling. But maybe they use what it’s fashion among their upper class friends and not what we would find appealing. I love her recent fashion choices in any case. I think she looks a lot more comfortable than she used to as well.

I had assumed regarding the coronation that Harry just didn’t want to stay around. But I guess Archie’s and Lili’s actual birthdays are very important to him (although he would probably have arrived back to home by the time Archie was sleeping). Personally I have experienced children’s birthdays...

I can still understand wanting to shake of paparazzi, but I can’t understand not wearing seatbelts in this day as age. I hope that’s not true or they could end up in accident that’s not even related to paparazzi.

Thank you, her marrying into deposed branches would not result in her getting a title, if this is looked from a realistic perspective of current laws. Regarding Thailand and realism again, I understand some prefer more realistic matches, but I do not think royal matches in countries discussed...

The family would not need to do that. The government could if the match as seen as desirable. Like I said this is hypothetical and all you would need is someone supporting like the new elected government for example.

Alright didn’t know that. But let’s say in my hypothetical scenario someone really wanted to change laws :lol: And I am pretty new here so don’t how to reply to two posts. But regarding culture I don’t think Japan and Thailand are similar, just more similar than other options.

Thailand’s succession seems messy, but I would say Prince Dipangkorn and Princess Aiko of Japan. Foreign marriages seems unlikely for both countries, but this is hypothetical and marriage still in Asia would at least be culturally closer. There wasn’t a lot of options anyway near Aiko’s age and...

I wish the writer has answered to the critique in a more substantive way. He just mentioned some headlines and pre-book gossip were incorrect. And it seems he was somewhat critiquing Harry for not understanding his process at the beginning of the article. Perhaps he was merely illustrating the...

Queen consorts did not used to be crowned during the Saxon era (I think there was one exception). It became common with an elevation of a role of King's wife. The king's wife really wasn't a Queen by default but that came with the anointing. During the Saxon era the wife's could just be...
