Not sure if this has been posted in another thread but: From Marianne at the GREMB: There's to be a state funeral held for Prince Paul, Princess Olga and Prince Nikola on the 6th October. The remains are being transferred to Serbia from Switzerland and buried in the Royal Mauseoleum with state...

Hi all, I'm an old poster from the 2004/5 days and haven't contributed regularly for a long time! Life has got in the way a bit. Things have been very surreal lately which I'm sure will be discussed in time but I wanted to just day a hello to old friends and new and see who is still about...

Having just watched this 1970s BBC series for the 100th time, I wondered what everyone else thought about it and also just to mention it for those who haven't! I think of any royal series I've watched, Edward VII is the most 'spot on' for me. Timothy West is absolutely amazing as Edward and as...

Inbound State Visit from India announced, 26 June 2009 Indian State Visit to the UK in October.

It was quite a shock to see Queen Sofia featured in this month's Gay Times. Unfortunately it wasn't a pleasant suprise. Comments made by the Queen in interviews for her new biography have been leaked and they don't show her to be the nice lady I imagined. Her comments included condemning gay...

As you know, I never complain and as the epitomy of patience and compassion, I wouldn't dream of mentioning something that was annoying me. But something is. Now, usually when I virtually mince onto TRF I like to click the Portal button which brings up the active threads and these are the ones I...

Breaking News : Baby Boy born this afternoon.

Is there anyway of making the character limit in posts more than 1000? Maybe I talk too much but it's quite difficult posting them across a few posts and it's difficult to read. xXx

I've just finished reading a brilliant book about the Ancient Laws of England. Here are ten which directly affect the Royal Family. 1. All of us making claims about the marital relations of Fergie, Diana and Camilla should hold our tongues. Under the 1891 Slander of Women act, it is still...

Princess Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck & Family, "The People's Princess" (1833-1897) This question has been posed on a radio phone-in and it's bugging me. The question is; Who was the original People's Princess? I thought it was Princess Marina but apparantly it wasn't. Does anyone know?

I was listening to "What Becomes a Semi-Legend Most", the 1980s one woman show by Joan Rivers. In it she said; "I had an affair with Liberace. My husband bought the horseback riding story. So did Prince Charles! That poor b*tch Diana, fancy marrying her off to a gay guy. Oh grow up, Prince...

Because mine has. I was watching GMTV this morning which is very rare as I'm mainly nocturnal and don't get to see morning television but they did a piece on Kate Middleton. Now, I'd already switched off when the Di coroner stuff came on and I was just reaching for the off button again when I...

Not sure if anyone else is having this trouble but.... When I get a PM, I get a box as soon as I log-in to tell me. So I click it. And then I read the message and usually, thats it - the top box goes back to Unread 0 Total however many. But at the moment, every time I log-in, the old messages...

I was reading an article today about Prince George, Duke of Kent being asked to become the King of Poland. Marina and George made a trip there in the late 1930s and were extremely well recieved and it was only the invasion of Poland by Hitler that scuppered the plan. Just think - the current...

WALLIS WAS MADE QUEEN From The Sun, 13/07/06 The Sun can exclusively reveal that the late Duchess of Windsor was made Queen in 1936 in a secret ceremony at Kensington Castle. Surrounded by FREEMASONS and NAZI friends, the Duchess was crowned by King Edward VIII or "Dirty David" as he was...

Ok. I'm shaking a little so bear with me.... Camilla wrote to me today! When Laura got married, I wrote a poem and sent it to Camilla. I said how much I admired Camilla and said that she was to ignore the gutter press because we loved her just as much as we loved any other member of the RF...

Arms of Pope Benedict XVI --- Here is a new thread for current news and pictures of Pope Benedict XVI.

This is just a question - it may have been asked before. But the Pope is Sovereign of the Vatican City. Why doesn't the 'Papal Monarchy' have it's own forum? Maybe a little one with the Liechtenstein etc would be good to share recent pics, look at the history of the monarchy aspect - no...

I thought it would be interesting to discuss what the Royals like eating. For example, Princess Anne hardly eats a thing and says that meal-times take up valuable time elsewhere. Queen Elizabeth II hates chocolate but the Duke of Gloucester is a chocoholic. Here are a few royal recipes too...

There have been several questions raised about certain events that will take place in the reign of Charles III. Firstly, will he be called Charles III or will he go with George VIII or Edward IX? Will Camilla be Queen or Princess Consort? But, for this thread let's assume that Charles and...

I am trying to compile a list of all the catholic royals, reigning and non reigning - can anyone add to the list? HM King Juan Carlos of Spain HM Queen Sofia of Spain HRH The Prince of Asturias HRH The Princess of Asturias HRH The Duchess of Kent HRH Princess Michael of Kent Those are the...

In the Prince William forum, we have been discussing what would be the public reaction if William was to declare that he is in fact homosexual. If he said, "Well - Kate's just a friend and we tried to cover up but I don't want to so I'll be your first openly gay King" - what would you say? Would...

Meeting Royalty A few of us have been discussing meetings with Royalty. A few famous meetings; Sir Noel Coward, Actor, Writer, Legend Sir Noel and the Queen Mother were walking in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. A long line of soldiers in their busbies were standing to attention...

I've started this due to a question from another board member and comments from others. It's all my opinion and you don't have to agree with it. I realise that I am going to become as hated as Stalin in certain camps for saying this but I know there are those who agree with the sentiment. Prince...

To Carry On the Topic; The Archbishop of Canterbury should be aware of his betters - the Queen is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and should be shown deference due to her position. That should reflect in her family. If the Archbishop has made these comments then he plunges down...
