Harry is marrying Ms Merkel?

[reohn2]

+1!
I read that MM is to become the Duchess of Sussex
What about the Countess of Lancashire instead, or as well?

If it helps fill all the potholes in on the back lanes I'd welcome her with open arms

Duchess of Windsor, surely!

I hear it was love at first sight in Merkels case. Hmm I bet it was love at first time he spoke and his cut glass posh accent indicated , in her case, dollar signs Shame one of the royals didnt marry Britney Spears The tabloids would have loved it

Can't be done.
HM Queen is Duke of Lancaster.

Camilla is Duchess of Cornwall as she's married to the Duke of Cornwall.
HM Queen is married to the Duke of Edinburgh, but she's not Duchess of Edinburgh.
Very similar to a king's wife being a queen, but a queen's husband isn't a king.

What about a cycling monarchy?

Just heard about Princess Amalia of Nederland, she cycles 14 km to school (with a bodyguard) and can speak nine languages!

The PoW speaks Welsh of course, what about Harry and Meghan, how many languages do they have?

Hi,
On TV tonight Camilla - "It nice to have some good news for a change" IIRC.

Like they want for anything.

The media are having a ball and will continue to do so for the next six months, Brexit, Ethnic Cleansing, Slave trade of starving abused immigrants, will take a back seat now

The church reception etc, expense will be paid for by the royal family..................
800 seats in church will be a private small affair.

And NO we don't need to lose a days production with a public holiday

Flaming well ought to be in this day and age - a Queen Regent and King Consort. It would have been a much more powerful sign if HM had actually created Philip, King Consort for his birthday instead of giving him another obscure order. It would also have been hilarious the next time they met their Danish royal cousins, where the Queen's husband has recently done an epic flounce.

Thinking (unusual for me), given that e.g. actresses have become actor, in the same spirit of gender neutrality should kings not become queens or queens become kings?

[mercalia]

compare and contrast the likely treatment of this lady and Ms Merkel

In chess there is a manoeuvre called castling where pieces jump over each other and change into something else (?!)
