  1. Of course Harry and Megan are narcissistic and will definitely have their children called prince and princess even though they hate the monarchy and wants it destroyed because it takes all atensions of of Megan and harry

  2. The requirements to be a prince/princess are given in the video are as follows:

    – A child of a monarch;

    – A grandchild in a male line;

    – A child of the heir's eldest son.

    Are you sure this is correct? Because, when the now-King Charles III was born in 1948, he met none of those requirements:

    – He wasn't the child of a monarch (the then-Princess Elizabeth wasn't Queen yet);

    – He wasn't a grandchild in a male line (he was a grandchild of King George VI, but in a female line);

    – He wasn't a child of the heir's eldest son (because he was the heir's eldest son!)

    Presumably, we need to add "A child of the heir" to one of the three conditions? Because that's the only way I can make sense of this…

  3. When Queen Elizabeth II became Queen, who took the title of Princess Royal. Her sister, Margaret?

    If Queen Elizabeth didn't have a sister, would the title – Princess Royal – have remained vacant until her daughter, Anne, became 18?

  4. Take this (unlikely) future scenario:

    1. Prince George becomes King.
    2. King George has young children.
    3. King George either passes or abdicates before his eldest child turns 18.

    Question: Who takes the throne?
    Does the line of succession automatically slip sideways to then-Princess Royal Charlotte, making her Queen, or will she be appointed Regent until the late King George's eldest child becomes 18? And, who the heck decides? His wife, Queen consort?

  5. Harry & Megan opted out. After the memorial & funeral events for the late Queen I do not know if they want back in. IMHO I think they did too much damage. I was perfectly fine with both Harry & Andrew participating as family in the various memorial events. Family is family no matter the faults of the individual. But performing as Royals in events reflects on the Monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II left it in good shape but it will not take much to ruin it. Harry & Megan's media events I think burned their bridges. Andrew may be legally off the hook but the damage is done the settlement is proof enough for most.

    For Andrew IMHO I would keep him out of Royal events but if they are willing his daughters should be allowed to be working Royals. The shame of the father should not go down to them.

    The way I see it, you have

    King Charles III – not a spring chicken and I do not know how many events he can do on a daily basis so he needs family to help.
    Queen Consort – I've given up hating on this woman. The late Queen and William & Harry seems of have accepted her. Who am I to complain? Her job is protecting Charles III.
    Princess Anne – I agree she deserves more credit than she gets. She was the 'Rock of Gibraltar' during the Queen's illness and after her passing.
    Prince Edward – If willing should definitely participate in more royal duties.

    Prince William & Kate – Being the heir he will be doing the most when it comes to royal duties as expected. Their other job is to raise their kids. I saw so much "Anne" in Charlotte.
    Princess Beatrice & Eugenie – They should be allowed to participate as working royals. I do not blame them for their fathers actions.

    When Edwards kids come of age and I am so happy to hear about Louise following Williams example and going to St Andrew, hope it works out for her. But once Edwards kids are of age they should be able to participate in Royal duties.

  7. I sincerely hope that those who think Harry is important now realize the complexity of Royal geneology.
    So,NutMeg and DimWit still remain insignificant.
    The narcissist thought a 👑 was easy to get 😂😂😂. The only crown that you are welcome to and that befits you is the loo!

  8. Very informative but I think there is one thing that needs correction. Archie and Lilibet aren't prince and princess automatically. I believe they do not have titles at this point. Charles would have to bestow those on them since both of their parents, and the children, have now been exiled due to Harry's actions in the past and his decision to remove himself from royal duties and responsibilities. Plus all of those interviews and his upcoming book. So the kids are kind of waiting to see if they do become prince and princess but it hasn't happened yet.

  9. 2 questions: 1) if King Charles and Diana were still married, would she have been known as Queen Consort, and 2) since Princess Anne is the 2nd child, why is she so far down the line of succession? (I'm American so I don't quite get all the in and outs of this…lol).

  10. I heard the Queen gave the Prince and Princess titles to Harry’s kids, but the king is withholding the HRH official title and has also removed Harry to the bottom of the line just ahead of Andrew whole was stripped of his titles and placement in line-if things had been left as they would’ve been if Harry hadn’t besmirched his entire family-then yes, this line up would’ve been correct, but as of the week end it’s not so…looks like Edward and his wife Sofie are going to be given his fathers title too, which is what Charles father requested, and seems to be in the works from what I’ve seen..
