I think the best part of this honestly is

Is this a trend?! I was raised with “after you sneeze, you say ‘excuse me’”! I guess maybe it was along the lines of “if you make any bodily function that makes a sound, you then excuse yourself”

The belt buckle is my next purchase! My adviser in college had one that his wife stole and wore all the time, so cool, and such a fun thing to pass down to people.

My now husband gave me Nikes and Tiffany pearl earrings for our first Christmas. He won everyone in my family over with that one. Good job buying things for your ladies that they like and treasure. Also, an initial heart necklace doesn’t make one “basic” (like it’s 100% a bad thing... not. argh) it’ll be something…

Horse person take: she should NOT have attempted to kick the horse, that’s her temper getting the best of her. That’s not an appropriate form of discipline but this horse deliberately bucked her off.

They apparently had some sort of prayer service as well? But I don’t know if that “counts” enough. There were rumors for a long time that he would potentially adopt the title “Defender of Faith” or “Defender of the Faiths” rather than “Defender of THE Faith” because he’s very interested in Eastern philosophy and feels…

It’s all over Charles’ official biography that she “intends to be called Princess Consort” but as there’s zero precedent for that I’ll believe it when he takes the throne and that happens...not until then. I have a feeling it’s to tide the public over until he actually becomes King.

Well in charge of what? :p

I AM VERY WRONG. According to the official Biography of Prince Charles:

That’s true, as the bloodline precedence update only really applies when Camilla is in a room with all of them without Charles. If Charles isn’t with her and she walks into room with all you list above plus Beatrice and Eugenie she must curtsy to all of them.

The only part I’m unsure about is if she’s not with Charles…

You’re right of course! I had forgotten about the Act for Mary and Philip! Thanks!

lol. Thanks! I am one of those obnoxious American anglophiles, but mostly because a) I like old shit like houses and furniture etc etc, and b)I find all of the titles and inheritance and other stuff intellectually intriguing. Frankly, it’s really helped me accurately guess wtf is going to happen on Game of Thrones…

Sorry, generally that’s incorrect. Elizabeth II’s mother was Queen Elizabeth, and when her husband the king died, she was Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, since I don’t believe “Dowager Queen” is a title. Since she was not a Queen Regnant (not a bloodline Queen) she didn’t get numbers after her name (because she…

even in old days! Queen Victoria’s husband was always Prince Albert! You have to be a bloodline royal male in your own country to be a king nowadays. Now, if Wills married the crown princess of Spain, might be a different situation. Assuming he becomes King, and she becomes the Queen of Spain, Will would still be the…

What a whiner.

Also Maxima is BALLER.

She’d still be Queen in both places. Old skool rules: When a woman marries, her holdings become her husbands, she is chattel. Only difference is if you’re a high noble and you marry below you, you would still keep your courtesy title of your previous rank, but your husband would technically own you and all your land.

The thing is, once Charles becomes King, he can do whatever he wants. There’d be no one to hold him to “keep camilla from being Queen.” Most blogs I’ve read by people who know way more than me are pretty sure the only title she’s going to skip is “Princess of Wales” even though she has a right to it, because of the…

Agreed. Camilla will 100% be Queen, assuming that Charles does eventually inherit the crown while she’s still alive/married to him. Kate will also be Queen. Howee

I think that’s my favorite part, that they’re just like “ugh fuck this place”

Damn it y’all those gold Nikes are amazing but now totally sold out in all women’s sizes but 6.5 (half size too small! ARGH) and in the unisex women’s 9. And there’s no like “NIKE PLEASE EMAIL ME WHEN THESE COME OUT AGAIN” button.
