DON'T LET ANYONE KNOW ABOUT ZE GERMAN BLOODLINENSHLUGENFLARBEN Actually, I was thinking of "Aethelthread the Unready" (get it). I'm writing an intro post, but it's taking me a long time. If someone else wants to start it, I'm cool with that. DIBS ON ALL TUDOR AND TUDOR-ADJACENTS UNTIL AFTER JAMES VI/I. E: Oh, except for Charles II's mistresses. They are a fun group of ladies.

Years back I briefly worked with a woman named Milady, pronounced exactly as you think. loving drove me crazy to have to use her name and this was before m'lady was a meme. Luckily she got fired pretty fast. Her attitude really fit her name.

King Possum III posted:When Prince Charles was born, Philip complained that he was the only man in the UK who couldn't give his children his name. Eventually, a consolation of sorts was arranged to soothe his feelings of irrelevance. From last page, but Mountbatten-Windsor was used by William when he and Kate sued in France about those topless pics of Kate.

meiram posted:From last page, but Mountbatten-Windsor was used by William when he and Kate sued in France about those topless pics of Kate. I hadn't heard about that, and I appreciate you sharing it. During their military careers, both William and Harry have used "Wales" as a surname, and as far as I know William still does. While chatting with a young woman during a public walkabout last year, Kate was heard to say, "Yes, I'm Mrs. Cambridge." She and William have several surnames they can choose from if they ever need one. They could use Windsor, Mountbatten-Windsor, Wales, or Cambridge. While in Scotland, they're known as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn, so that's another possibility.

If anyone else lived off the state (while descended from foreigners, no less) and went swanning round with a network of aliases, the Daily Mail would be campaigning for them to be tarred and feathered.

hyper from Pixie Sticks posted:If anyone else lived off the state (while descended from foreigners, no less) and went swanning round with a network of aliases, the Daily Mail would be campaigning for them to be tarred and feathered. The royal family do not "live off the state;" they either have real jobs, or they perform more public duties than many people seem to think. Most Americans have a picture of the Windsors eating their meals off solid gold plates and cutlery, swilling expensive champagne, and surrounded by servants who gratify every whim. That hasn't been true for hundreds of years, when the excesses of the Hanover kings fit that description. The activities of senior members of the royal family are documented in the Court Circular of the London Times. Prince Philip alone racked up over 350 public engagements last year, despite the fact that he's 95 years old. Princess Anne, the Prince of Wales, and HM The Queen aren't far behind. Show some respect, lads. Remember, one could have you executed like THAT.

I know the younger Princes served in the military for a while, but do the rest of the royal family have jobs too? I'm trying to picture what it must be like to have to interview the monarch of your country; if you decline to hire them is that technically treason?

I'm trying to picture what it must be like to have to interview the monarch of your country; if you decline to hire them is that technically treason? Almost all the men in the royal family have done military service; Prince Charles has served in all three branches if his country's armed forces. The more distant relations like aunts, uncles, and cousins have jobs in the public sector and don't draw much attention from the media. There could never be a situation of interviewing the monarch. One inherits the throne, and it's a job for life.

During his time in the British Army he was posted to several of the most dangerous trouble spots of the times. Maybe that's not what you'd call the public sector, but most people have a measure of respect for those who give long years of military service. Most people have some kind of hobby or recreational activities they enjoy; croquet and tennis are very popular in his country.
