Hey,


this might seem like a stuipd question but why do Gabriella and Frederick have the titles of lord and lady if their parents are prince/ princess?

this might seem like a stuipd question but why do Gabriella and Frederick have the titles of lord and lady if their parents are prince/ princess?

It isn't a stupid question at all! The rules about princes and princesses vary from country to country, so it can get confusing quite easily.

George V decided that the only people who were eligible to be called Prince and Princess were the children of a monarch, the grandchildren in the male line, and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. This was amended later so that Princess Elizabeth's children would also carry the title Prince or Princess, since they weren't eligible under the original Letters Patent because they descended in the female line. Great grandchildren of monarchs in the male line would be given the titles of children of dukes, i.e., lord and lady.

Prince Michael of Kent is the son of Prince George Duke of Kent, who was the son of George V. Therefore, he's eligible to be called Prince because he's a grandchild of a king in the male line. His children are great-grandchildren of a monarch in the male line and hence have the titles lord and lady.

I have a question: will Frederick and Gabriella's children be titled? Their father is a prince, they themselves are simply lord and lady (which still is impressive)- does it follow that their children will be untitled?

 

[Reina]

Fred is still in line to the throne right? Even though hsi dad isn't?

 

[Elspeth]

Frederick and Gabriella are both in the line of succession.

As far as I know, Frederick's children won't have titles, but I'm not sure about that. If he's styled as the son of a Duke, it's possible his children would be "the Honourable "firstname" Windsor." But I honestly don't know if that's what'll happen or if they'll just be plain Master and Miss.

LADY GABRIELLA WINDSOR: THE GLAMOROUS YOUNG ROYAL TALKS EXCLUSIVELY TO HELLO! ABOUT LOVE AND MARRIAGE

 

[Idriel]

Some declarations Ella made to Hello:
- 'It's important in a relashionship to take on certain challenges and traveling together is a huge challenge.'
- 'Both my parents are very found of Aatish. My mother appreciate the fact that he isn't scared of voicing his opinions. My father, like all fathers, was very protective at first, but they are always very supportive of me and my decisions.''
- 'I wasn't brought up to believe I was special. I was brought up to recognise that we were privileged to be part of this family and to be grateful for that.'
- 'I don't particularly like to draw attention to myself. I have a few styles- I love going barefoot with my hair natural. It is fun to wear a short skirt and high heels but I don't do it very often.'
- 'If things were to develop further between Aatish and myself, religion would not be an issue.'
- 'The way my mother can be portrayed in the media is a figure I don't recognize. It is tiresome and I still find it very upsetting.'
- 'My position may have opened doors, but in journalism you cannot get by on your family background alone, you need to be able to do the job.'
- [As a child] I thought [my mother] was very glamorous. She would make Freddie and myself walk down corridors balancing books on our heads, but it was more of a joke really.'
- 'My parents have been married for 27 years. I hope when I get married I am lucky enough to be able to make my marriage last that long'.

More tomorow.

Thank you Idriel for the summary of the Hello! article as well as taking the time to scan in these lovely images! She's a very beautiful young lady.

Gabriella looks quote glamorous in these pictures -- especially the one of her in the satin champagne-coloured gown while standing in the kitchen in front of the tea cups!

I find it a curious thing that some of the younger British royals (first Zara Phillips) would pose for such a photo shoot with their boyfriends when nothing is official. It seems unheard of in other royal families to do so. Or I wonder if it's because Gabriella and Zara are so far behind in line to the throne that it doesn't matter much? I wonder if down the line we can expect such kinds of pictures from Beatrice and Eugenie or Louise.

 

[Jang]

she is very very beautiful, gorgeous. I think she looks like Princess Mary, Queen Elizabeth II's aunt.

 

[Fashionista100]

Great pictures! She looks as beautiful as her mother!!

I think that they do these shoots for Hello! as they have more control over them than some of what if put out about them in the press. People are interested. If they weren't they wouldn't sell magazines.

I think she is both quiet and yet glamorous. Just like her cousin Lady Helen Windsor.

[stellastarr]

I think she looks a lot like Zara.

 

[lashinka2002]

Would Zara and Lady Gabriella be distant cousins?

 

[stellastarr]

Yea, same as William and Gabriella are.

[Missyjojo88]

Does Lady Gabriella have any sort of relationship with Prince William or her other cousins like Zara Phillips? Do they ever interact? I know that her mother's relationship with the rest of the royal is not great, I'm wondering if that would have some kind of impact on her relationship within the royal family.

 

[zeap]

Prince William, Prince Harry, Zara and Peter Phillips all socialise together. They are never seen with any of their other cousins. I like to teasingly call them the Fab Four.

 

[Lady Marmalade]

Well, they are all first cousins so that makes sense. Lady Gabriella is fourth cousins with the princes. Her father and QEII are first cousins, which make QEII her second cousin, Charles her third and William and Harry and Zara and Peter her fourth cousins.

I think she is just so elegant and glamorous in an understated way....truly a classic beauty with poise.

I think they socialized more when they were younger. Don't the Michael Kents have a place near Highgrove?

 

[james]

Yes, Nether Lypiatt Manor.

 

[Lady Marmalade]

There is a picture from the Earl of Ulster's wedding in 2002 with Lord Freddie, Lady Gabriella, Lady Davina, and Lady Rose standing together. The Kent children TOWERED in height over the Gloucester girls.

She has to be at least 5'11...
