Commoners

[Pingo]

IMO all Crwon Princes should style their commoner wives a duchess or countess only and Princess Consort instead og Queen when th etime comes.

Camilla may have set a trend

Good grief.  Why don't we go all the way and require those nasty commoners to be wed only in morganatic marriages?  Then the children of such marriages, with their tainted common blood,  wouldn't be able to inherit the throne.  Let's see...that would eliminate Christian, Amalia, Ingrid, Leonor, Victoria.  Maybe even Frederik and William.  Do a French count and an English lady count as royalty?  I've heard not.

No... Ime  not suggesting morganatic alliances , I just feel that the title of "Queen" should be reserved for a queen regnant.
And, also if you look at Diana's ancestry, you will she has plenty of royal blood.

I actually agree with you Pingo.
I don't think that commoners taint the royal bloodline.
But since the husbands of reigning Queens are styled "Prince consort" why shouldn't the women follow suit?
I am hoping that the Netherlands will in deed follow their new law and style Maxima a Princess consort instead of a queen. However I am not sure if they will actually do that when the time comes. Lets wait and see.

I also agree with Pingo

Oh.  I misunderstood you.  I thought you were saying only women of royal blood should be titled queen.  I agree with you that "queen consort" should be done away with.  After all, there's no "king consort".

Diana, on the other hand, was not considered royal.  She was the daughter of an earl and as such was a member of the aristocracy.  But not royal, even though she was descended on the wrong side of the blanket from royalty.

wrong side of the blanket indeed  but  even if still alive, I dont feel should should accorded the title of "queen" either

Most of the times the media gets it wrong whenever they address a royal. So even if Maxima, for example, becomes plain Princess Maxima when WA becomes King Willem-Alexander, I am sure they will print her name as Queen Maxima and then it will snowballed to that name as people reads the story. Kind of domino effect. And then people will start addressing her as Queen Maxima.

Diana was known in the royal court as Diana, Princess of Wales. But we hardly hear or see her being called this. She is almost always called Princess Diana.

I have always felt that a Consort and Regnant should have separate titles since their responsibilities are very different.

People with royal blood and ancestry are a dime a dozen so there is nothing special about that quality.

dont get me wrong..I never felt there was anything special about Diana....I was merely pointing out her royal ancestry albeit from the "wrong side of the blanket" !
