This article speculates he has an A-1 visa, which doesn't have any drug usage restrictions. So he's probably going to be just fine, unless he's not on that particular visa

When Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse was King of Finland, what was the title of the heir to the throne?

Crown Prince was the title, between Oct 1918 and Dec 1918, after which all concerned considered it a bad idea and the monarchy was abolished. He was married to Vicky's daughter Mossy by the way. Fritz Carl never reigned anyway, and lost his royal status within Germany as did members of all the other royal Houses in that country. He and Mossy lost half their six sons in World Wars 1+2.

Michelle Anches claimed to have been the Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia.

Michelle was one of those obscure and unsuccessful claimants who stated they were one or another of Tsar Nicholas's daughters who had survived the mass assassination at Ekaterinburg. There were several such deluded or crafty persons.

Who knows, had she not died in 1925, Michelle may have rivalled the mentally ill Anna Anderson with her Anastasia impersonation, who was much more notorious. The two could have met and had tea together, perhaps!

 It's all a moot point anyway, as all the bodily remains found decades later had DNA that identified them as Romanovs and Nicholas and Alexandra's family. None of the family were missing.

I'm thinking of posting articles in both the 'pro' and 'con' threads. I recognize people have a range of opinions

Yes, that was the point of the two clubs. Thank you Princess of Prince, that's a good idea.

I do not like this new look.
 It will take some getting used to.
 So few people post.

The new look isn't permanent.

So, I'm seeing reports that Harry banned certain publications from attending this event. Is that common practice amongst the royals in general?
