That's true. The father of these Two-Sicilies-Borbone girls , who calls himself Duke of Castro, is the heir of a junior branch of a House whose king was deposed in 1861 and whose kingdom has been non-existent for almost two hundred years. In the Middle Ages these girls would have been shut up...

I wonder if perhaps the parents (Joachim, Alexandra, and Marie) aren't more upset about the loss of the princely/princess titles than the children (Nikolai, Felix, Henrik and Athena) themselves are. And the newspapers, magazines, TV, etc. are surely doing all they can to exaggerate and...

Thanks for posting the article, Somebody. It's actually the most comprehensive article I've seen about the succession. If young Prince Dipangkorn is autistic or physically or mentally impaired, it wouldn't be fair to that young boy to put him on the throne. I've no idea what sort of reputation...

The unexpected passing of Princess Bajrakitiyabha surely will have a profound effect on the possible succession, and the Thai royal family and government will have to deal with that in the coming months. King Vajiralongkorn is 70 years old now. There's very little information available on the...

Yes, as previously mentioned, colorblindness is X-linked (carried on the X chromosome). Female's chromosomal makeup is XX. They are less prone to colorblindness because even if they inherit one colorblind X from a parent, the normal X from the other parent will balance it out. The only way a...

I suppose that sort of behaviour goes on at all colleges, and probably particularly so at Georgetown University, which has a reputation as a party college for the sons and daughters of the elite. Constantine Alexios is about 22 yrs old or so now, so it's legal for him to drink. Nor is their...

It wasn't very good judgement on the part of Constantine to have posted that photo of himself cavorting with a group of drunken Georgetown University students. We all know that that sort of thing happens at many colleges, and especially at Georgetown, which has a reputation for heavy- drinking...

Well, we will just have to wait and see how all of this turns out. Family conflicts are nothing new in the British royal family. They have been going on since 1066. Look at the relationship between King Henry II and his sons, and the relationships that the sons had with each other. As Katherine...

I doubt that this was what his grandfather had in mind when he conferred the Prince of Venice title upon him. I suppose he has to earn a living somehow, though.

It's nice to see Gaston caring for the little bird. I wonder what kind of bird it is. He seems to be feeding it mealworms, and it's evidently very healthy. But mealworms alone aren't a balanced diet for a young bird. It should also be fed a bit of moistened dogfood, and some hardboiled egg...
