How very gracious of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Perhaps a gentle reminder to Harry of what he's lost? Hope to God the Markles were debugged before allowed near the RF.
She was given a title of her own when she married Charles.
They just hand them out like candy at Halloween over there then - no real meaning behind them, IMO. Or is it a control thing?
She was marrying the future king of England and at the time on track to be the future queen. That doesn’t seem to be handing them out like candy.
As mentioned in my post a page or so back. When you marry into the RF it comes with a title in NL as well. For the women it is always princess, for men only when they marry the heir to the throne. Women become queen when their spouse becomes king. Men become prince consort when their spouse becomes queen.
Question for the Canadians. Last few days during the talks on the BBC a frequent topic was about future of Commonwealth countries as recently Barbados went independent. They talk about will other countries follow in the coming years, and the focus was often on Australia. The prediction is that it might take a few years, but very likely Australia will want a president in the future and no longer a king in the UK.
But it wasn’t Princess Diana.
All sons and daughters of the monarch are born prince and princess.
This has been changed fairly recently and Charlotte is now included in the line of succession, as well as the female grandchildren and other great-grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth. However, it seems like Anne (Charles’ sister, only daughter of the Queen) should have also been bumped up above her younger brothers (Andrew and Edward) and their children. Don’t know why, I’m sure someone knows. Anne, who’s called the Princess Royal, is supposedly the hardest working of all the RF. Not that it really matters at this point, because realistically, she’d never become queen.
Okay, now I'm confused.
I haven't seen this officially anywhere yet.
Parents may choose not to use the titles. Prince Edward chose not to with Louise and James.
Yes correct.
It wasn’t retroactive. It started with new births.
I thought that was the case but was confused because I didn't recall her being referred to once married as Lady Diana, Princess of Wales.
Princess Anne and Prince Edward chose not to use the titles for their children. MM announced on the Oprah interview that her children were denied these titles. This was untrue but fit her agenda. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds since The Queen has passed away.
