Quote from: Stix Chix on January 12, 2007, 03:49:24 AMi love those things!  they are to denote rank.  and to just generally look cool and royal. 8) the British royals do wear the sashes on official royal occasions....but if were a Princess u'd never get me out of it! :laugh:

Not necessarily – sashes in most European countries represent Orders of Chivalry and other national awards and honours. You can be royal, but if you are not awarded one of these 'honours' then you have no right to wear one of the very many sashes.

i always thought "Duchy" was another word for Dukedom.  but it has an official Website! 8) 

update on the royals marrying Catholics.....
King Charles I and his son Charles II both married Catholic princesses.  they all caught some flack for it, but Charles I and his queen caught the worst.   they were all married before the Royal Marriages Act of 1772.

i have a silly question, but what is the Duchy?

A Duchy is a territory ruled by a Duke/Duchess. :)

Jelly, the Prince of Wales is also the Duke of Cornwall. Therefore the Duchy of Cornwall is the territory he rules.

The Duchy of Cornwall is one of two Royal Duchies in the United Kingdom, the other being the Duchy of Lancaster. Click Here to read more on the Duchy of Cornwall - Click Here to visit the Official web site of the Duchy of Cornwall.

Now that a woman can inherit the throne in England whether there are males born after her or not, what would the first born child be called if they were a girl. A boy would be made Prince of Wales, but Princess of Wales is not a title in its own right (although I believe it was used once). Is she called Princess Royal? Or might they go European and call her the Crown Princess? Or do we have to wait and see if William has a daughter first?

sillyjobug, England still has male primogeniture. For example, if Elizabeth II had a younger brother he would have become monarch instead of her. Since there was no brother, she was known as the Heiress Presumptive while her father King George VI was alive.

Wow, I really thought they'd got rid of that. Okay, well, that makes my question pointles then... and makes me a little sad.

New question: Do you think that if William's first child were a girl, they would change the rule. (Many countries seem to discuss this when the firstborn is a girl: Spain, Japan, etc...)

if William's first child were a girl the subject of changing the rule would probably be brought up....but wether it would actually get changed is anyone's guess.

That seems quite unfair that a first born girl in England can't get it but her younger brother can.

but Queen Elizabeth was a woman! so first born child of England could be heirs

but if she had had a younger...or older....brother (just like if Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Anne or Queen Victoria had had brothers) she would never had become Queen.  which is a weird thought! :mellow:  all those Queen's were pretty amazing.

Have they reconsidered the no Catholics law or do you think they ever will? Considering that they reconsidered the no divorcees or "must be a virgin" law.
