Princess Beatrice

Will she ever find love?

As they are royals, would is be permissible for her and Prince Harry to wed?

My god, that girl is homely. Her sister's not quite as ugly but she's no beauty either.

She will definitely find companionship, if not love, OP. She has a big-time royal title and she'll inherit some money. There are guys out there just dying to marry her in order to use her as a social climbing tool.

Prince Philip and the queen both were concerned about the girls' obvious dimness, dumbness and dullness, inherited from both Andrew and Sarah. So they instructed that the top-secret "Windsor Vibro-Butt-Plug" be inserted any time they were to be imposed on the public. It "brightens" their appearance.

R22, Kate understands that in a warped way the protocol favoring royal-born women over women acquiring their status by marriage actually is a strike for feminism. A woman in her own right outranks a woman with status because of her man.

Of course, the fact that a woman automatically acquires her husband's rank when he is present rather undermines the "feminism" argument. And since all men have to do to bow to their superiors in precedence is snap their head down a moment it really is a small thing for me.

NO WOMAN looks good curtsying in trousers or a short skirt.

Of course when Beatrice curtsies it offers a good chance for the smiths to quickly check that the nails in her shoes are okay.

The dental issues can be traced to her cousin King Charles II of Spain. Many spanish royals like him suffered from "the habsburg jaw," a form of mandibular prognathism. To them it was a sign of nobility.

The artist actually touched up this portrait to make him look a lot better than he did in real life. In reality, he was crowned king in spite of the fact he was mentally and physically disabled, which is no shock considering his parents were uncle and neice.

Bea and Clark have been dating since 2007. A Looooooooonnnnng time. Andrew and Fergie don't have the money to fund an extravagant wedding. But the real scandal would be so long as Philip is breathing, it is doubtful Elizabeth and other royals would be permitted to attend. Or else, Fergie would be banned from her daughter's wedding. Bea never had a career, never will have a career so there's no excuse that there is a "busy schedule" to prevent her. Eugenie is in the same boat. None of the aristocrats will go near those girls - kind of the same problem Pippa Middleton encountered.

Fergie may be slowly coming back into the 'royal fold' and not treated like the outdoor pet you have no use for, but Prince Charles will be chopping them all - Andrew, Fergie, and the kids - from immediate royal family status as soon Elizabeth and Philip pop their clogs. So there is no incentive for any aristocrat get into that ugly family swamp. And Andrew hasn't helped his situation by carousing with under-age girls on private islands and denying it all - despite incriminating photos and an accusation that was recently dismissed by a U.S. court. It's a soap opera.

Beatrice is troubling. When William and Harry were young, she was sort of the spare's spare....the next in line in their generation should something happen to William and Harry. But now, with William having two children, Beatrice is further down the list. One day, she will be a Counsellor of State -- one of the group who rules if the monarch is incapacitated or out of the country. By law, she is free to marry without the monarch's permission, but that will change after Queen Elizabeth II dies, unless William has more children or Harry marries and starts having children. She does seem close to the Queen, but her endless vacations and purposelessness annoy the Brits, who are beginning to associate her with her mother, whom they don't like. At heart, she seems to be a spoiled aristocrat who doesn't have to work, who indulges herself in her whims, and who shows no sign of concern about social issues. Royalty may live at the upper crust, but they need to be seen to be concerned about the rest. She's not doing it.

Prince Philip is actually from the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg, i.e., the royal house of Denmark. He was born with the title "Prince of Greece and Denmark" -- the former Greek royal family is an offshoot of the Danish royal family. His father, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, married Princess Alice of Battenberg. When Philip was prepping to marry the heiress to the British throne, Princess Elizabeth, he gave up his Greek and Danish title and adopted the surname of his mother's brothers -- their Battenberg titles had been anglicized to "Mountbatten" during the First World War in 1917. So, Mountbatten is the made-up surname of his maternal uncles. Philip was never close to his father, whose family was exiled from Greece in a revolution, with Andrew escaping court-martial by a hair. Andrew became a boulevardier who lived with his mistress. Alice, who was deaf, was in and out of mental institutions. Philip was mostly raised by his grandmother, Princess Victoria of Battenberg (a sister of Czarina Alexandra), who lived in Kensington Palace, and his Mountbatten uncles.

R116 The name Mountbatten isn't made up. It's a direct translation of Battenberg (literally Batten Hill), and the custom has always been for foreign aristocrats permanently living in UK society to anglicize their name. The reason the Battenbergs hadn't already done this was because they were actually princes of Battenberg, not simple nobles. When anti-German sentiment forced the issue, they gave up the Battenberg princely titles, including their use of Serene Highness, accepted aristicratic British titles in compensation, and aglicized their name accordingly.

Hanover and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha were also anglicized (Hannover and Sachen-Corburg-Gotha respectively).

r12 Some men will do anything for money. They're probably gay.

R127, are we to conclude that HRH Prince Andrew swings both ways?

by Anonymousreply 128April 16, 2016 12:20 AM

There have been rumors about all of the queen's sons (Princes Charles, Andrew, and Edward), as well as her nephew Viscount Linley, being gay. I wish someone could say authoritatively one way or the other.

She and Harry could indeed wed according to rayal protocol.

Aren't Elizabeth and Prince Philip first cousins cousins?

I'm sure there have been rumours, r129. And I'm sure there will be rumours in 20 years that Prince George is gay, even if he isn't, and there will also be rumours about any sons George might have being gay too. Charles' almost self-destructive commitment to Camilla is also highly suggestive that rumours that he might be gay are also true.

Oh, and Prince Phillip sure pings.

Elizabeth and Philip are not first cousins. They are third cousins as great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria. They are simultaneously second cousins, once removed, as descendants of King Christian IX of Denmark: Elizabeth is a great-great-grandchild and Philip is a great-grandchild. No law bars Harry marrying Beatrice; however, royalty have stopped marrying first cousins. The last instance was 1905 when two of Queen Victoria's grandchildren married. Second and third cousins marrying, however, has occurred several times since then.

In addition, by law Prince Harry needs the permission of Queen Elizabeth II or Parliament to marry anyone. Beatrice does not need the Queen's permission to marry, but when Prince Charles becomes king, if Beatrice moves into sixth place in the line of succession, she will need permission from Uncle Charles or Parliament to marry.

Um, they are still COUSINS.

R134, by your definition, we're all cousins. R133 was obviously responding to R131.

Why is Pippa allowed to wed before Harry?

{quote] She will have her revenge when she is Queen.

Even sooner! She will take precedence as the wife of the heir to the throne when the queen dies.

[quote] Why is Pippa allowed to wed before Harry?

The crown has control over protocol but has absolutely no control over almost anything else. Pippa can do whatever she likes when she likes. (But you knew that already and were just pretending otherwise.)

I don't know why she reminds me of Lon Chaney in London After Midnight, but she does.

Probably has something to do with the fact that they look exactly alike.

She's the British Tiffany Trump.

More like she's the original Tiffany Trump. She was a bizarre-looking side-effect of royal inbreeding long before Tiffany had her own little Debutante Ball on that runway a few months back when she came out as an ugly woman.

And the two are still placed in completely different departments of ugliness. Tiffany is just plain, unattractive, and plain unattractive, like someone took a picture of Sandy Dennis and shrunk her head in MS Paint. Princess Beatrice, on the other hand, has a much more exotic, premium ugliness to her--more akin to a horse with Hashimoto's Disease, if you will. Her ugliness is such that one can still appreciate the unique artistic merit in it, like an Antoine Wiertz painting in the form of human face.

Diana, Princess of Wales, and Sarah, Duchess of York, had personality and pizzazz. They both breathed life into the royal family.

So would she be considered a confirmed spinster?

by Anonymousreply 143August 12, 2016 4:28 AM

That would be a Royal "no," bitch ass r143.
