Very good and expensive food. I saw a program on the different chiefs they have. Their menus are written in French and they are approved each day by the Queen. When they sit down to eat no one starts eating until she does. There were a lot of French dishes that were prepared for them, fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, meats, and different types of deserts.
When and where did the Queen of England and Prince Philip get married?
On 20 November 1947 at Westminster Abbey.
Are the british royal family catholic?
They are Anglicans. If a member of the Royal Family converts to Catholicism, or marries someone who is a Catholic, he or she is automatically excluded from the line of succession.However, their descendants are eligible to be included in the line of succession.
Moreover, on 28 October 2011, during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, Australia, Prime Minister David Cameron proposed changes to the law governing succession to the Throne which was broadly adopted by all of the 16 nations of which the Queen is Sovereign. The proposed legislation, if ratified by each of these governments, would not only ensure that the principle of primogeniture be applied (irrespective of sex), but also enable the Monarch to marry a practising Catholic, though the Sovereign would still need to be a confirmed Member of the Church of England, since he or she is temporal head of that church, and upon coronation takes a vow to be "Defender of the Faith", ie Anglicanism.
Why is Prince Philip not king Philip?
It has to do with long-standing customs in the British monarchy. The spouse of the sovereign is usually given a symbolic title only, and "king" can't be a symbolic title, although "queen" can. It's a seemingly arbitrary (and very patriarchal) rule, but it's a long-standing one, and the royals are nothing if not traditional.
Prince Philip was given the titles Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, and Baron Greenwich when he married Queen Elizabeth (then a princess) in 1947. When Elizabeth became queen in 1953, he was not crowned or anointed, and she didn't give him the title of prince until 1957. His official styling was then announced as "His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh."
How do you address Prince Phillip?
If you're speaking to him, the proper form is considered to be to initially address him as "Your Royal Highness" and thereafter as "sir".
If you're asking what his full official title is:
His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, Baron Greenwich, Royal Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Grand Master and First and Principal Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire, Member of the Order of Merit, Companion of the Order of Australia, Extra Companion of the Queen's Service Order, Royal Chief of the Order of Logohu, Canadian Forces Decoration, Lord of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Privy Councillor of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, Personal Aide-de-Camp to Her Majesty.
He's also a Field Marshal.
How much did Kate Middleton weigh at birth?
The average birth weight for a female baby is approximately 7 pounds, 8 ounces, so Kate likely weighed in somewhere around there. She may have weighed less than that, because she does not weigh very much as an adult and may have been a small baby as well.
Did Kate Middleton become a princess when she married William?
No, she became the Duchess of Cambridge.
When did Margaret mansfield die?
l967. Outside of New Orleans. cause of death- violent automobile accident in a Buick Electra, colored Grey, by the way. almost exactly thirty years after the Electra project- also Grey colored vehicle! but on the upperworks, Amy and Jayne, well, the difference is Twin Peaks as opposed to battery terminals! Two women who left this world too young.
What is Prince William and Harry's surname?
It's complicated.
The Queen has stipulated that all her male descendants who do not bear the titular dignity of Prince shall use Mountbatten-Windsor as their surname.
Willam and Harry, though, DO "bear the titular dignity of Prince".
For these cases, children generally use "Prince X of Y" where X is their given name and Y is their father's territorial designation. For William and Harry, their father is Prince Charles, who is the Prince of Wales, so they were "Prince William of Wales" and "Prince Harry of Wales".
This is normally dropped when such children reach adulthood and simply use their title. You need a last name when you might get confused with someone else. The likelihood of, say, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge getting confused with some other Prince William, Duke of Cambridge is pretty small.
However: William and Harry were both in the military, and not having a surname in the military is a little awkward. Both of them used "Wales" as their surname in a military context. William (as Duke of Cambridge) now has his own territorial designation; I'm not sure if he's been updated officially to "William Cambridge" in the military or not.
How rich is the English royal family?
A lot, the Queen (not The Crown) owns the Duchy of Lancaster, areas such as urban development, historic buildings etc. With the Income from the Duchy of Lancaster (about £400 million) And with Tourists from US ect, visiting the palace, it makes her wealth around £600 million. The Average upkeep of the royal family is about 67p from each Briton per year, that's a tiny amount to ask for and I don't see why people complain so much.
What is the Daughter of a duke?
The basic rules in the UK, which if you're asking in English is probably the system you're most concerned about, are:
There's no special title for the son of any peer other than within the Royal house itself, where the titles Prince and Princess are used for the children and grandchildren of the sovereign.
However, a duke, who is a member of the highest non-royal rank of the peerage, is fairly likely to also hold several lesser titles, and it's customary to refer to his eldest son by the next-higher title that properly speaking actually belongs to the Duke himself. Therefore, if a man is both Duke of This and Earl of That, he'll usually just be called Duke This and his eldest son will be called Earl That. This is a courtesy title only; the son is still legally regarded as a commoner (though one belonging to a noble family) unless the title specifically conferred upon him by a writ of acceleration.
The general safe title for the son of a duke if you don't know his specific title is "Lord". Again, this is merely a courtesy title, but since you bothered to ask we're assuming you're making a special effort to be polite.
Why was Diana princess but not Kate Middleton?
Because Charles was first in line to throne and therefore Prince of Wales when he married Diana. She then became The Princess of Wales upon marriage. William is second in line to the throne and not The Prince of Wales (yet). He was created the Duke of Cambridge upon his wedding day and so Kate became The Duchess of Cambridge. She is however also "Princess William" just as a married woman can be Mrs John Smith. When Charles is King, William will become Prince of Wales and Kate Princess of Wales.
