Royal Family

Diana is reputed to have nicknamed her the 'Rottweiler.'

Royal claret

The only female with in the British Order of Precedence ranked higher than the Duchess of Cornwall, at this time, is Her Majesty the Queen. If Her Majestys mother had still been alive, she would have ranked between the Duchess and Her Majesty.

In the case of Anne, the Princess Royal, being a daughter of the Queen, she is ranked below the wives of the younger sons of the Queen, thus placing her fourth, under Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and, until their divorce, would have been placed under Sarah, Duchess of York, wife of Prince Andrew.

Fuedality a matriarchy

This was built in 1632 for Cardinal Richelieu, who was governing France on behalf of the young Louis XIII, and was called the Palais-Cardinal. When Richelieu died he left the palace to to the King, who had his own palace across the road and never used the place. On the death of Louis XIII, however, his widow Marie de Médicis moved in with her five-year-old son. As the toddler in question was now - and would remain for over 70 years - Louis XIV, the Palais-Royal became a Royal Palace for the first and last time in its history. Louis XIV soon grew up and moved out, and the Palace passed to his brother and his descendants the Orléans family, who kept it till the Revolution. The Duke of Orleans under Louis XV opened the garden to the public and built the row of shops which surrounds it. ('Now that our cousin has gone into trade' quipped the King, 'I suppose we'll only see him on early closing day.' All the courtiers laughed like drains. This is the only recorded example of a joke cracked by a King of France.)

At one of these shops, in those days a café, Camille Desmoulins leapt onto a table in July 1789 and suggested to the locals that it might be a good idea to storm the Bastille. During the First Republic and the First Empire, the garden became a sort of open-air club, the shops turned into gambling-dens, and the less said about what went on upstairs, the better.

When all this was forced to close down in 1830, Louis-Philippe having come to the throne and being not only respectable but also head of the family that owned the place, it became the cool, quiet, charming place it is today. The bars closed, the shops began to specialise in medals and coins for collectors. There are flats above the shops, much favoured by literary people but horrifyingly expensive. There are trees, pigeons, fountains, shade, nannies and prams. The main building is occupied by the Conseil d'État, a constitutional body of the most boring kind; its courtyard has been invaded by a strange sculpture consisting of striped black and white columns, known to English schoolchildren as 'The 'Umbugs'. There is a sort of well here, where tourists throw coins, so this is one of the places where Parisian small boys practise coin-fishing; French 'silver' coins are made of stainless steel, and can be collected with a magnet on a piece of string.

Wales is a principality, not a duchy. Prince Charles is the current Prince of Wales.
