When did wootton bassett get called royal?
Wooton Bassett is a totally fictional character on the radio drama Adventures in Odyssey. Originally a postman, he has pursued a variety of callings since his retirement. He strikes me something of a very childish man, he collects toys, writes for comic books, etc. I cannot see any connection with any Royal Families such as the Windsors, Romanovs, etc.

What is the family connection between the British royal family and the karadjordjevic dynasty?
In 1922. king Alexander of Yugoslavia married princess Maria of Romania ( later queen Maria of Yugoslavia). Queen Maria's maternal grandfather was Alfred,Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha,son of queen Victoria. So, sons of king Alexader and queen Maria were direct direct descendants of queen Victoria. They had three sons, Peter II,who became king,and princes' Tomislav and Andrej. Peter had to abticate after comunists rule came to power.
Who is the only British monarch to have served longer than Queen Elizabeth II?
Queen Victoria, who was Elizabeth's great-great grandmother, reigned from June 20, 1837 until her death on January 22, 1901 -- a total of 63 years and seven months. Elizabeth, who has reigned more than 60 years (from February 6, 1952 to the present), can surpass Victoria's longevity record if she is still Britain's monarch on September 10, 2015.
Why doesn't Queen Elizabeth's husband have the title of King when her mother had the title of Queen?
In Britain the word "queen" has two meanings in connection with the monarchy. It means (1) the wife of the king (or late king); (2) a woman reigning in her own right (like a king). Elizabeth II is a queen in sense (2), and if one wants to be extremely precise one could use the expression "queen regnant" ("reigning queen") in such cases. The word "king" in connection with the monarchy only has the meaning of "reigning monarch." One can only become a king by succession (i.e. by birth), NOT by marriage. In other words, if one is married to a queen regnant one doesn't become a king. The husband of Queen Victoria (reigned 1837-1901) was her "consort" (that is, "marriage partner") and was often referred to as the "Prince Consort" or "Prince Albert." Answer: When a man marries a woman who is queen regnant he is not be styled as 'king' unless he holds this title in his own right i.e. if the king of one country marries the queen of another. It is normal, though not mandatory, for a man who marries a queen to be styled "Prince Consort" and there are two examples in Europe other than Britain: Henrik the husband of Margrethe II of Denmark and Claus the (deceased) husband of Beatrix of the Netherlands. When Victoria of Sweden becomes queen, her soon-to-be-husband (Daniel) may well be styled "Prince Consort" though this is not automatic. The reason for this practice is uncertain, though it may be due to the commonly-held belief in the past that men were better suited to positions of power and authority (women being the 'weaker' sex and 'less intelligent' than men) and that kings took precedence over queens in processions. Thus, if a man married a queen regnant, and received the title of king he would, in terms of protocol, be superior to her; this, of course, would have been unacceptable to any dynasty.
Is Kate Middleton trying to copy princess of wales?
Considering the current Princess of Wales is Camilla, I can't imagine why in the world Kate would want to copy her. The Duchess of Cornwall, as she is known, is one of the laziest consorts in English/UK history, doing as few engagements as possible and spending most of her time either up at Raymill House or on extended holiday; apparently two appearances in a row are so exhausting that she has to take a holiday to rest up for the next ones. She also famously broke up another woman's marriage by cheating with him and then counseling the husband to leave the marital bed instead of talking and working things out with his wife. And of course Kate wouldn't break up another woman's marriage.
Let's hope that Kate has some work ethic and instead takes after the Queen or Princess Anne. Diana, the last Princess of Wales, is a very good example, as she was able to do over 500 appearances each year since the beginning, despite being pregnant with William and then Harry.
How did queen elizabeth and Prince Philip meet?
They met when she was 13 and he was 18. She was with her family and family friend Lord Louis Mountbatten at some sort of navel show. Phillip was Louis' nephew and descent cousin of Elizabeth and Margaret's and was also in the Royal navy at that time so he was able to meet the King, Queen and Princesses. Apparently Elizabeth had a crush on him from then on and they married when she was 21

What was Queen Victorias mother tongue?
Victoria and Albert spoke to each other in German. However this does not indicate
that German was her mother tongue. She was fluent in English, of course but German
the language of her home life.
=================================================================
It is safe to say that Queen Victoria's mother tongue was German. She was taught only German by her mother Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (Mary Louise Victoria; 17 August 1786 - 16 March 1861), until she was three years old. She was then taught English and French as well, so that she effectively grew up trilingually. It is said that while her command of English was good, it was not perfect.
