I like the late Queen's motto, Never complain or explain. a lot of people really need to get a life. So what if they photoshop, what difference does it make. A tiny weeny bit of sleeve. My goodness, what terrible state secrets was that bit of sleeve hiding. leave them alone and go for a...

I have had major abdominal surgery a hysterectomy and bowel surgery. Both times, it has taken up to three months to recover. Two of my children had heart surgery (minor by heart standards.) Due to hospital conditions, many people are sent home very quickly. Many wounds do take up to 3 months...

Maybe she will become Queen Mother. I know this title is usually given to a widowed queen Consort, but maybe.

Princess Margaret would not have been a good queen, just based on her life as a Princess.

Sorry, But the Empress Maud (Matilda) was not included in the list. She was married to Geoffrey of Anjou. Her cousin Stephen of Blois was married to another cousin of the Empress (different side of family),. Stephen stole the throne from the Empress who was Henry I designated heir. Stephen...

I can see a little girl being named Nicole Alexandrina Elizabeth in varying places in a name Nicole from paternal GM Alexandrina from Queen Vic and Elizabeth from the late Queen. Other names possible are Angela and Marguarite (QEQM) Margaret is also floating around through Sarah Margaret...

Jane Seymour was a first cousin once removed to Anne and Catherine . Actually if you go back far enough all six of henry's wives were related in some way. I found this out when doing my family tree.

There are plenty of special opportunities for Charles to give Edward his ducal title. Christmas, Birthday Coronation. Charles may decide to do as the Swedes do. Make it a lifetime title not an inherited one. If some respects King Charles has had a lot on his plate, Adjusting to the role of...

Don't most of the Royals who abdicate, also renounce the throne for any future descendants? I know Edward VIII did. So I presume it would be the same for any Catholic monarch. If a younger protestant heir become monarch,He/she is monarch, not a niece or nephew from an older sibling It...

No-one was forced to abdicate the throne to marry Wallis Simpson. Edward VIII (not George VI who was the new King) CHOSE to abdicate the throne and chose to marry Wallis.

Could someone please tell me why people are using the word coronated. I was always under the impression that the monaach was crowned.

What an incredibly moving, dignified, ceremony and processions for the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Words fail me to describe how I felt. the planners did a wonderful job in organising everything. Truly I was most impressed. The two young children were absolutely a credit to...

They already have that. Harry and Meghan decided not to use the ducal titles for whatever reason.

If the Queens's second child had been a boy, he would have been Duke of York, as that title is traditionally given to the monarch's second son. Andrew would have been further down the line. I think HMQE was very lucky with her daughter. Now what would be a better honour, restore Princess Anne...

I saw on my internet feed that Prince Andrew has left Balmoral and is returning home to his house at Windsor. He has not yet seen the baby. Maybe they are waiting for him to see the baby before they announce the name.

I have just noticed, the situation of George and Mary after Albert Victor died is remarkable very similar to two other Princes and a Princess. Drumroll please Princes Arthur and Henry and Infanta (Princess) Catalina of Aragon. Lucky George was not the sames as his notorious predecessor...

Still, at least, it nice to see a photo. I am hopeful Eugenie and Jack will release one. I know Mike and Zara usually don't. Maybe, Lilibet might be christened on the reported visit of the family in september.

Royal Christenings Please move this if in wrong place. We have had a plethora of royal babies, but so far no christenings. Are there any reasons for this?

Tongue in cheek, I am suggesting Elise or Eliza Margaret for a girl and Filipe Eduardo for a boy

I know Wallis is not a particularly attractive name. I was speaking tongue in cheek.

Americans (particularly Californians) really like statement names. There is one American name which would be a real STATEMENT NAME and would upset the royal Family no end. Drum Roll WALLIS after the Duchess of Windsor. My current prediction is Barbara after actress Barbara Windsor. Imagine...

It is lovely to again be guessing names for a baby in the Royal Family. I love the idea of Fergus Albert. It is about the only one of Andrew's names that is "available and acceptable' to name a little boy. The names Andrew itself would be very unpopular. Christian is too close to young Wolfie's...

It has happened many times. when my mother died inn March last year, we were allowed 10 at the funeral, and that included the minister and 2 funeral people. There were only her six children and one granddaughter who recorded the service for the rest of our family, No hugging, no common meal...

Prayers and condolences to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and her family in the loss of a beloved family member. May God's peace confort you in this time of deep sorrow.
