    Windsor Family Resemblances 2, 2023 -

    I've seen many pictures where I thought William looked a lot like Diana, especially when he was a boy. I've also seen a few where I thought he looked a bit like George VI. Today, though, I came across a photo of Prince Philip's nephew Prince Karl of Hesse, and I mistook him for William...

    I'm always curious about what tech people are using, so I was interested to note that Princess Amalia was wearing an Apple Watch on her recent visit to the Caribbean: https://editorial01.shutterstock.com/wm-preview-1500/13751821nq/5ee5c1d4/Shutterstock_13751821nq.jpg That prompted me to look at...

    A Royal Secret (Kongens hemmelige elsker) Swedish series on Gustav V

    I'm curious of anyone has watched A Royal Secret (Kongens hemmelige elsker), the Swedish drama about the Kurt Haijby affair. The series portrays the story as completely true, painting Haijby as an opportunist who was seduced by the King and victimized by the government. Is this depiction...

    Prince George's Title

    Why isn't Prince George known as the Earl of Strathearn, taking a courtesy title from his father? The sons of the other royal dukes (such as the Earl of St. Andrews and the Earl of Ulster) take titles from their fathers.

    Prince Charles of Luxembourg (1927-1977) and Family

    I'm curious about Prince Charles of Luxembourg, who died in 1977. Other than mentioning his marriage to the American heiress Joan Dillon, Wikipedia and other resources say very little about him. What did he do with his life? He seems to have died quite young -- what was the cause?

    Resemblance between Miguel and Philippos of Greece

    I happened to see a photo this morning of the royal family at a recent charity tennis match, and I was thinking that Miguel (at least in this picture) really looks a lot like Prince Philippos of Greece when he was a boy. Here's the picture: http://www.ppe-agency.com/500px/Dec2010/PPE10122232.jpg

    Prince Georg and Anne Bowes-Lyon

    Why didn't Georg of Denmark lose his title when he married Anne Bowes-Lyon? Even though she was of a noble British family, I'd think it would have been an unequal marriage...

    Why is there so much negativity about Laurent?

    Every time I read a story about Prince Laurent, including the interview he gave the students today, there seems to be some suggestion that he isn't liked or respected. I'm aware of the fraud allegations from a year or two ago, but this goes much further back -- even his Wikipedia entry says...

    If Edward VIII hadn't abdicated, who would be monarch today?

    Theoretical: Rights of Edward VIII's children When Edward VIII abdictated, he declared his "irrevocable determination to renounce the throne" for himself and his descendents. But, what would have happened if, instead of marrying Wallis after leaving the throne, he had married, say, Ingrid...

    Media Blackout in 1936 v. Today

    The current court order that is preventing the British media from revealing the identity of the person connected to the blackmail case -- while the rest of the world's media is publishing the allegations -- is reminding me of the British media blackout that took place when Edward VIII and Mrs...
