Some people find almost everything an 'insult,' which only speaks volumes on the uppity attitude they possess. The bigger they are, the harder they fall! Smile! ;-}
Are you refering to post #171? Well, if you read it closely you will see that Princess Nathalie didn't mention American football at all. It was just Muhler's comment to explain that she of course meant soccer, when she said that Konstantin might want to play "football".As an American, I was not bothered by Princess Nathalie's statements about American football.

Anyway her royal 'title' is simply does exist and is therefore 'bogus,'

His comment clealy was meant to be funny, not offensive. Just to underline that Europeans are quite soccer crazy, and that we Europeans always think about soccer when the word "football" is meantioned. Konstantin will grow up in Berleburg, Germany. So there is a very big chance that the boy will catch the highly contagious soccer bug as soon as he can walk. (And believe me, I know what the soccer bug can do. I had to grow up with an older brother who got it! And obviously Muhler caught it as well).
Actually and I'm sure you know this, Dressage was created or invented when horses were used in war-they had to be trained to react to their riders moves under all circumstances and it has progressed from that. It may look silly, but a great many of the movements are really good for the horses flexibility and it is a very difficult competition to do well in. Takes years of training for both the horse and riderThanks Sternchen

Many years ago the Queen of Denmark somehow resolved that Nathalie and her siblings are members of the extended Danish royal family and that she is styled Her highness Princess Nathalie z-S-W-B in a Danish context!It isn't bogus, it is just part of her name and not a title in Germany. Outside of Germany, the RF of the country decides if it wants to recognize the title.
The students are surely happy to have such an experienced teacher..
Princess Nathalie has given an interview to Danish Berlinske who visited her in Bad Berleburg,
Germany. The article link includes some nice quotes:

Prinsesse Nathalie sendte au pair hjem igen
Is one of the palace official's wife eighteen years old only?
Where's that in the Au Pair story?
so have a wife of one of the palace officials promised to look after the boy, who is eighteen years old.
