Prince William Had COVID in April

But did he tell Harry is the question...

What a shock. Has anybody asked if Meghan‘s OK?

Why have a terrible disease if you’re not gonna talk about it? And then never stop talking about it

^ sorry, that me.

Saw this on the news not that long ago. Some people are going after William for keeping this secret, but I actually agree with him and I hate the monarchy.

William didn't want a fuss and add to the tragedy already occurring. It's brutal but though William is an heir is health really isn't in the national interest. The Queen's health yes, Charles' health yes, the PM's health yes. But if William were to die, George is next in line.

If the Crown is any indication between the Crown and the Government relationship, then the royals are the PM’s bitch. So I understand the why. I think it was still stupid thing to do. The Queen was fine, his son Prince George was fine along with 2 other heirs and a perfect emergency Manager in California. Basically, the RF has enough backup support that even if a Charles and William died, they could continue on.

This was the PM’s cal. I’m no fan of William but he did the right thing by fallowing the government’s “orders”.

Classy.

Lmao @ r4

One can hope that Camilla gets it and dies!

R9 get with the times: the UK Loves Camilla now...It's Meghan we hate now.

[quote] What a shock. Has anybody asked if Meghan‘s OK?

No. No one has asked if I'm okay...

Camilla is a vile, monstrous creature. The best thing that can happen is to not have to see it anymore! Meghan is a nice girl that hasn't hurt anyone!

[quote] But if William were to die, George is next in line.

And Archie. Had tragedy fallen and disease swept through and taken out the entire Cambridge line, Archie would’ve been available.

Oh and Harry too.

But definitely Archie.

And look who didn't get it: the Queen. She's going to outlive them all!

Hahahahahaha!

And he..er, I mean his source didn't report it to the Daily Mail? What a missed opportunity for publicity. He could have squeezed a whole year of headlines, including vague "friends" reporting how they were absolutely terrified of what they would wear to the funeral.

[quote] William decided to keep his diagnoses a secret

Really? Coronavirus and ... what else was he diagnosed with?

This thread is cracking me up. I could read a thread of r10 and r11 going back and forth all day.

[quote] [R9] get with the times: the UK Loves Camilla now...It's Meghan we hate now.

Cammy lucked out when an American (and a black one, no less!) was brought into the Firm.

If I were a betting person, I would put money on the fact that they did NOT tell Harry.

Harry's wife (she who Dim would immediately tell, assuming she was not listening in to his phone calls) would immediately spill those beans. For money of course.

Got bills to pay.

Camilla-bashing must CEASE.

She's a no-nonsense person who does her job and loves her husband.

So eat it, bitches.

R20, yes! People need to stop beating that dead horse.

R20, one of the Camilla loving loons. It identifies with Camilla because it too is homely and nobody gives a shit about it!

William was treated by palace doctors and isolated at Anmer Hall, his family’s home in Norfolk, the Sun said.

Despite his illness, William reportedly carried out 14 royal “engagements” in April. In one, he opened Nightingale Hospital in Birmingham via videolink. In another video, shot just before Easter, William and his wife, Kate, spoke to teachers and students at an elementary school that stayed open during the first shutdown of the pandemic to thank them for their support.

The royal couple appeared upbeat in the video. At one point, Kate jokingly chided her husband for eating all the chocolates in the house.

The news comes as England prepares to head into a second national shutdown, which will last at least four weeks.

I adore the entire BRF, except that marry-in commoner Meghan of course.

R1 Of course not . If he had , then we would have known about this via Omid in April .

So was William a spreader?

I'm ready to take over at a moment's notice.

The Commonwealth Service must have done it. I wonder if Megoon or Harry had it but did not disclose ... oh what am I thinking, they would have made a hostage video about it!

Meghan must be furious that she and her husband weren't included in this herd immunity. DISCRIMINATION!

Even now, Miss Meghan is stuffing cotton balls in Archie's mouth to make it look like he has mumps.

Morbid question I know but what if Charles and William both died of it and then the queen died while George was still a child. Would he become a child King?

R22, one of the Camilla hating loons. It's homely and nobody gives a shit about it!

r23 so does that mean Kate had it as well? They were sitting together and their children were home. Why does it always feel like half-truths with these two?

R31 - yes, George would be a child king with an adult manager, probably Princess Anne.

[quote]Morbid question I know but what if Charles and William both died of it and then the queen died while George was still a child. Would he become a child King?

Someone would be appointed to be his guardian and govern on his behalf. At this stage my money would be on Anne.

R31. He would become King, but a succession council would appoint a regent to rule in his name until he was of age. Normally this would be the adult next in line (Harry) but there might be some slight difficulties there. So the next in line after him would be Andrew (ummm), then Beatrice and Eugenie, and if that whole branch was too toxic, then suddenly Edward starts looking like the safe bet.

The Cuntess Megaloon must have spread it at the Commonwealth jamboree. Sounds like negligent homicide to me if anyone had died from the virus.

I absolutely love Camilla. Toss off, haters!

He would become King in name, but a coronation would be much delayed until adulthood. A regency would be quickly established to represent George until he was mature and fit enough to assume his rightful role.

"The rule of a regent or regents is called a regency. A regent or regency council may be formed ad hoc or in accordance with a constitutional rule. Regent is sometimes a formal title granted to a monarch's most trusted advisor or personal assistant."

The government would decide who was to carry out the regency.

I would love for it to be Harry.

A. It would piss of DL. The meltdown on this site would be glorious. Glorious I tell you. What would the racists do if Meghan was back in a palace?

B. Kate would have to deal with being a Dowager Duchess but never a Queen, HA! Eat a dick! Still, as a mother of a Queen (twice over if you get my gist) and the public support would make her life extremely easy.

C. Meghan's son, depending on how this sad chain of events occurs, would never be a Prince. HA!

Everyone suffers and I get to enjoy the drama. Of course, I don't want any of them to die, they seem like fine enough people. I do agree that Ann would be the absolute best Regent, though it should be Harry.

I think William is a class act. He didn't ask to be born into royalty, but here he is. I like that his ego wasn't bound up in needing the world to know that he had Covid -- unlike all the celebs who have used their Covid moments for publicity, making it a whole "thang," and posting constant selfies as though they were campaigning to be cast in a reboot of Camille.

Why would he need a regent? The queen/king doesn't really rule anymore.

r42 someone has to waste the PM's time for an hour a week and host people for banquets. Basically, you need a Head of State.

I wonder if Boris' messy hair annoys the Queen.

George also needs someone to show him the ropes of how to cut the ribbon.

R40 types deranged like Trump.

Did William have 14 doctors and experimental drugs like Trump did to help him get better?

So William, did it just disappear like a miracle?

r41 William is a self-centered jerk like most of them. I always got the vibe that he believed his own hype back when you was younger and actually cute. Then he lost his looks but increased his status so he goes off cheating on his wife, holding out health information (at the government's wishes), and generally acting like a stuck up asshole. He barely works and appears to really believe in that divine right of kings bs.

Hopefully, he has a short reign because Charles and even George are more interesting. Hopefully, George grows to be a man of the people. With a haughty social-climbing mother and a self-absorbed father, I'm sure he will be a price of shit like all the rest.

Harry would be the absolute last of the bloodline to be considered for a regent while he has that woman in tow. Even without her he is totally damaged goods at this point.

Anne would be a superb Monarch.

R48 Gee I dunno, I just don't get that vibe from him at all. He seems thoughtful and down-to-earth to me. I'm a pretty good judge of character. Everyone is more cocky when they are young but he and Kate both seem sensible. And I like how the focus on mental health but don't keep drawing it back to themselves and their private pain the way Harry and Meghan do. They are just so much more sane and grounded. Also how do we know he was actually cheating on Kate? Rumors? And finally, having said all of that, I ultimately think the monarchy concept is ridiculous. We are all equal.

[quote]I ultimately think the monarchy concept is ridiculous. We are all equal.

I expect most of the BRF think that as well.

Except for sure Andrew thinks otherwise.

Should have kept it to himself especially now that the commoners have to deal with a second wave and a lockdown. They certainly won't be getting the same care as a prince when they get sick.

[quote]I ultimately think the monarchy concept is ridiculous. We are all equal.

Of course. Except that some are more equal than others.

All equal? You're funny.

If the Queen, Charles, and William were all to die before George is 18, George would officially be titled His Majesty the King, but a regent would be appointed to carry out the role of Monarch until George is an adult. It used to be that the the regent had to be someone who is in the line of succession, but that changed in the early 1960s when provisions were made by the government (at the request of the Queen) to allow Prince Philip or the Queen Mum (if Philip died) to act as regent for Charles should she have died before he turned 18. This provision is still in place and would allow for Kate to act as Regent and that's what I think would happen (no way the palace or government would want Harry or Andrew).

Would there really have been a crisis in the UK if had announced in April that he had COVID? Come on, seriously. Sounds like palace courtiers were over estimating the impact.

William, in my opinion, is a lot like his grandfather Prince Philip. No fuss no muss when it comes to his health. It's been rumoured for years that Philip has has both bowel and pancreatic cancer over the years. It's believed his health is the reason he retired, he basically wants to enjoy the time he has left.

You are not equal to the Trump dynasty or the Kennedy clan. So stop deluding yourself with all those classless liberal/capitalist democracy shits.

So did a lot of other people. Why is he special?

[quote] So did a lot of other people. Why is he special?

Because he's expected to one day win the local Tesco's Employee of the Week award, Rose,.

Meghan, welcome back to DL @ R48.

R60 I honestly don't think it's that he thinks he's so special. I think it's the public would have perhaps been adversely scared or affected by so many of their public figures having it all at once. And remember, back in April it was still quite new and terrifying.

[quote]r10 The UK Loves Camilla now...It's Meghan we hate now.

I had the interesting experience of working as assistant to one of the editors (yes, there are more than one) of the recent HQ release "Finding Freedom". I thought you guys - especially the Crown sympathizers, like r10 - might like to know that while the British Royal Family does occasionally come across rather poorly in the book, there were also definitely bits that, while verified to be true by numerous sources, were in the end kept from the finished draft. This was done mostly at the behest of one of our senior editors, who in addition to being quite old is also conservative.

For instance, it was left out that one of the main reasons Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the U.K. is the noxious stench that fires from QEII's practically decomposing cunt. There is absolutely no way to remove it (the smell) from any room she's entered. This is one reason Miss Markle wanted to use air fresheners in St. George's Chapel at Windsor the day of her wedding. The Prince had warned Markle what it was like to live with this fetid, all-pervading stink but she had no idea it could be so bad. Ultimately, she felt it was best to raise her child away from the toxic reek, which court doctors still do not understand.

Anyway, ask me any questions if you like. My contract with the publisher's up.

[quote]R14 And look who didn't get it: the Queen. She's going to outlive them all! Hahahahahaha

Since the family’s obviously made up of lying sacks of shit, what makes you think she didn’t get it, too?

" It's believed his health is the reason he retired, he basically wants to enjoy the time he has left."

If only RBG had listened to Barack and done the same. Alas...

If Prince George becomes king can we call him dauphin or something cute like the old Frenchies did? And then later call him the Sun King and make him wear big wigs and leotards?

And red high heels, R67!

Exactement!! Goddamn I love those huge labia wigs.

[quote] Would there really have been a crisis in the UK if had announced in April that he had COVID?

But did he provoke any kind of crisis by not announcing it? Really, what difference does it make?

[quote] It's believed his health is the reason he retired, he basically wants to enjoy the time he has left.

He’s 99 years old. He wouldn’t need to have a specific health problem to not have much time left.

Even though William has offspring, so the line of succession was secure, they are minors, so Charles and William both having Covid would have roiled the financial markets. It was best to keep the news under wraps.

He is a heavy smoker. Even from a distance you can smell his stench.

As has been mentioned, it was the Government's decision, not the Palace's.

[quote] But if William were to die, George is next in line.

For now.

Prince William is a heavy smoker?

I'm shocked! Kate too?

how is his covid cock?

R50 she would be the only other member of the BRF I would consider worthy and capable of continuing QEII’s legacy.

R56 but Phillip was born more Royal than even his wife and the Queen mother was actually the Queen. I think they’d want Kate to focus on her children as a mother and her grief. After all she’s very lazy and would look for any excuse to get out of the non glamorous part of the job. Kate has done a good enough job in her role but you’d want someone that lives and breath tradition, not a commoner that just arrived a decade ago.

I think due to the UK’s general respect for the Queen, Anne is the best choice if not Harry.

Don’t count out Harry, his stock would skyrocket as the last members of the Diana/Charles nuclear family. I think losing his brother would make him spiral so the best option still goes to Anne.

She’s seems to be publicly the best of her mother and father. She’s never embarrassed the crown. Due to ancient sexist customs she lost her place in line. This would satisfy modern Britain and give the old girl her due. Plus, she already has the baddest title outside of Queen, I’d love to see the title of Princess Royal spread across the papers, a title so decadent you’d think it was a French.

Under the current legislation Harry would be regent if he was legally domiciled in the UK, which has a pretty generous legal definition even considering his current living arrangements. If Harry wasn't qualified, it's Prince Andrew. So you really couldn't have two better choices.

In 1953 an Act was passed providing that if Prince Charles needed a regent, it went to his father (notable for precedent, which they love in decision making around the monarchy and for the benefit of those who reflexively argue but Princess Anne will know more! Princess Margaret would have known more than Prince Philip, by that line of reasoning, as would the Queen Mother and the Duke of Gloucester, but the job went to the boy's surviving parent.)

So given that Harry and Andrew are... less than beloved... it is reasonable to assume the government could pass an act changing regency for George. His mother has guardianship under the current regency act so it could conceivably be her. Or his great aunt. Or Edward. Basically somebody reasonably expected to live the number of years between the boy's accession and his turning 18 (or 21 if they fiddle with his majority given the nature of the job.)

The sovereign is advised by a private secretary, who understands the constitutional imperatives of the job if the sovereign doesn't, and a web of constitutional experts and advisors as necessary, so there is actually no reason Kate couldn't become regent - it is no more likely his great aunts or uncles understand the nuance of constitutional monarchy any better than his mother does... none of them were close enough to the throne really be schooled in it. Most new kings or queens complain about the lack of training they had - and they were expected to get the job. Arguably, Kate could have some insight having been married to a future king.

Public sentiment would play a part, too, implicitly or explicitly. If it were to happen the only thing certain would be that it won't be Harry or Andrew.

R67 as if anyone would be able to stop the fabulous little Queen, I mean King, from the titles and Whig. He may even order his Canadian subject, Shawn Mendes over to help him pick an outfit to wear to court.

R79 - Anne had her time of embarrassing the royals... Love letters from her present husband were published when she was still married to Mark Phillips. They divorced soon after the scandal.

R80 I would bet that it simply wouldn’t be Kate. She could go off the rails like a Fergie or Diana. Anne or Edward are really the best options give that generation a chance to shine. I think everyone would be pleased. Kate might want the title but she hardly works as it is now. No way she wouldn’t pull the grieving mother or sick child care again and again to get out of brining engagements.

Doesn’t even make sense to let a mother with young kids take on the role. Back in the 1950s the Queen and Phillip were absent/deadbeat parents that’s just leave their children for months. Times have changed. I think Kate may actually like her children so spending George’s money, having access to all of the crown jewelry, and the status while she seeks a new husband would probably be more important to any woman in her position over a hundred more ribbon cutting ceremonies and boring PM meetings.

Also, I think the conservatives would insist on someone with Royal blood acting as regent. Phillips great grandmother was also Queen Victoria. Kate’s was just some bloke.

So many typos. I’m honestly very sorry.

That's a lot of interesting speculation, R84. I'm particularly interested in the basis for your assertion Kate could go off the rails. Given how many times she's gone off the rails all these years. Bit biased, aren't you? Anyway it isn't a popularity contest it will be a decision taken by the government to assure continuity of government as the crown impacts it.

As we head towards a tough winter & more lockdowns, it's probably good to be reminded that young, healthy people can get sick too - even the guy a can isolate in castles & has the best possible care money can buy.

Regent has nothing to do with custody it’s literally just cutting ribbons and boat launching Anne or one of the others could do it if both William and Charles died though sad it wouldn’t be an actual crisis. Anyway here’s a taste of his arrogance around Covid

He should have had a hair transplant. He is just not good looking with the bald head like many men are. His wife has had a lot of work and I’m not sure why he let himself go. Other than that I have no clue why he’d sit on his Rona secret. He seems quite meek.

The Prime Minister would have to come and talk with George once a week. You know how the Brits are about tradition!

Boris: Sir, the EU is being extremely difficult about Ireland.

George: Where's my juice box?

Uncanny.

R87 The Regent would preform all the duties of the Monarch. That would include appointing a Prime Minister after an election, opening Parliament, appointing ambassadors, receiving foreign ambassadors, making state visits, granting royal assent to bills from Parliament, handing out honours, appointing bishops, appointing military etc. Yes, the Monarch is largely a rubber stamp, but constitutionally, they are important. So there would have to be a regent that the Government felt would remain impartial. My guess is Edward or Anne. Kate would likely be appointed a Councillor of State meaning she could exercise some of the George's powers when the Regent is out of the country.

Beatrice and Eugenie are both higher in the line of succession than Edward and Anne, and they are both adults.

I would like to see Princess Beatrice as regent. She's next in line after the obviously inappropriate Andrew. She reminds me of Queen Anne.

Funny enough I'm not opposed to one of the York Sisters in that role either. If William and Charles kick the bucket, the family would actually have a use for those common little princesses.

The York Sisters are not an option. Between their mother and their father it would be a PR and political nightmare.

A joint York sister regency it is then! Joint opening of Parliament and everything!

Then Andrew would push his daughters to just give him a pardon since Mommy won't be around to protect him anymore.

So why is he publicizing it now? So what, who cares?

[quote]But if William were to die, George is next in line.

I wouldn’t be so sure.

So the Regency Act of 1937 states that the regent should be:

In the line of succession (by tradition it is usually the next in line after the monarch BUT not required)

Over the age of 21

Is a British Subject and resides in the United Kingdom (sorry Harry)

In 1953, the Regency Act was amended at the request of the Queen to allow for Prince Philip to become Regent if she had died before Charles was 18. However, this provision automatically expired on Charles' 18th birthday. The Bill also allowed the Queen Mum to become a Counsellor of State to act on the Queen's behalf whenever the Queen was out of the country (not a Regent). So if both the Queen and Prince Philip had died before Charles came of age, Princess Margaret would have become Regent.

The Regency Act does allow the British Government (with the support of the other Commonwealth Realms) to appoint a Regent. So, in a situation where The Queen, Charles, and William are dead before George is 18, the government would likely opt for Prince Edward or Anne. My personal choice would be Anne.

[quote] If William and Charles kick the bucket, the family would actually have a use for those common little princesses.

They're not common. They're both of the blood royal.

I don't see why they would go for Edward or Anne over Beatrice, since she is closer in the line of succession.

Because the Yorks have all the appeal of a puddle of sick is why.

Its been decided then, first Anne, and failing her should she decline, Edward. Datalounge shall send notice to Westminster heretofore.

[quote] Prince William Had COVID in April

Blimey!

Hope you feel better, Will. Good job. Kate, you too.

Being Regent seems like a bunch of dreary responsibilities and no fun at all.

Does one even get one’s picture on the money?

[quote] Hope you feel better, Will.

He had it in April.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Could the blond gaybo toddler and Archie marry some day, if they wanted? Maybe that could reunite the factioned family.

They're first cousins, so no.

If Charles and William died and George was left as the 7-year-old heir of a 94-year-old woman, Meghan would be dragging Harry back here before the bodies were cold. The idea of Harry as Regent and herself as defacto Queen until George is 21 would be too much of an opportunity for her to ever pass up.

Of course, the real irony would be if HM held on for another 10 years (entirely possible with her genetics), in the meantime leaving Meghan to wait and stew in impotent fury.

Here's an interesting question: If this were to happen and George were left a child king, who would be on the money? The regent or the little boy? I can't imagine the mindfuck of seeing yourself on money when you're not even old enough to drive.

18 surely?

The King goes on the currency. Although the thought of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie on the currency is cool!

Neither Beatrice nor Eugenie would ever be regent. They're not 'working royals'. They're in the line of succession, but as far as the government is concerned, they barely exist.

Beatrice would be a good regent. She always make good decisions.

The York sisters would be a "fun" regency. Who wants to watch that old sourpuss Anne carrying out royal duties for over a decade? Duty, duty, duty. You'd grow tired of that fast enough!

Charles and Wills didn't have Covid, they just had some serious lung damage from breathing in Camilla's rancid pussy farts for decades.

The whore literally cannot stop queefing. It's why Harry got the hell out, and why Her Majesty refuses to die.

But they can't tell that to the press, so...Covid.

Apparently the Ghost of Di is just as fucked up as she was.

This might be a new low for Meghan fans and Sunshine Sachs stupidity: an incestuous nose to dick & balls lick?

[Quote]Could the blond gaybo toddler and Archie marry some day, if they wanted? Maybe that could reunite the factioned family.

Would Anne accept the Regency?

The future theoretical “Regency” hasn’t occurred yet, so it’s just “regency”.

I would guess that Anne would accept, she would consider it her duty, and do it without much hesitation.

[quote]R111 They're first cousins, so no.

Hasn’t royalty had a lot of first cousin marriages, though?

[quote] ...though rumours are he is a smoker.

Why would someone who was supposedly well brought up start such a trashy habit? If it's true, poor Kate!

R112 It's the Government that has the final approval on who the regent is, not the royal family themselves. Even if Meghan and Harry hightailed back to the UK, no way Harry would be made regent any more.

R127 Because smoking is still very common in Europe, particularly in the 'upper-classes.'

R127 & R129 Kate is known smoker (at least she was until she had George). There are photographs of her with smokes in her purse.

William, Catherine, Harry and Meghan have all been known to smoke in the past. It's not that shocking. Many of us have smoked and have reduced or ended the habit.

I just want to refute the rumor that throughout his illness, William kept receiving mysterious typed letters sealed with red wax, all bearing the message:

PLAY WITH GEORGE. PLAY WITH GEORGE.

I don’t know the laws in the U.K. - but really, is it universally impossible for the blonde one and Archie to marry some day if they want? Who were the last royal first cousins to marry?

I think in some states in the U.S. first cousins can marry - or could in the not too distant past. But it’s not something I’ve ever thought of before - - never having had a cousin propose to me.

[quote] Because smoking is still very common in Europe, particularly in the 'upper-classes.'

Is that they mean by the term "Eurotrash"?

Smoking is just disgusting.

Actually, smoking is delicious.

R131 - I don't see Meghan smoking cigarettes. Weed, yes. William, Kate, and Harry I believe.

R72 Give me a fucking break. The only purpose modern day "royals" serve is as tabloid fodder.

Prince William shouldn't have kept his Covid diagnosis a secret, it would have made people take the virus more seriously.

R138, it's been repeatedly pointed out here that keeping it secret was the government's decision.

Even if he had it, if old Prince Charles sailed through, surely William would - especially with that fancy stuff that Trump and Christie got. So I'm not sure I understand all this talk of who'd be George's regent. Funny that the royal family is in such a mess that both Andrew and Harry have ruled themselves out of any responsible position lol.

[quote] I think in some states in the U.S. first cousins can marry - or could in the not too distant past. But it’s not something I’ve ever thought of before - - never having had a cousin propose to me.

It’s definitely not a problem in New York.

In 19 US states, first cousins can marry. In 7 states, they can marry with restrictions.

Giuliana married his second cousin. Claimed he was unaware of her status when he sought a Catholic annulment years later. Sleazy in that regard.

Well it WAS a good joke, r143.

No other Windsor is going to marry into the Markle lineage, even if it’s a first cousin.

[quote]R142 In 19 US states, first cousins can marry. In 7 states, they can marry with restrictions.

So the blond one can marry Archie when they both come of age, if the do it in CA or NY or some other accepting state.

It could all have a real fairytale ending!

[quote]R145 No other Windsor is going to marry into the Markle lineage, even if it’s a first cousin.

You cannot stand in the way of love!

How dare you speak for Georgie??

r143, OT but that really pissed me off when my mother did the Catholic Annulment. Woman,you are divorced and remarried ,local priest says no communion, next parish along priest says ok if discrete so why bother. It's such a load of bollocks but they keep the moral high ground.

William can keep his medical history private, royal reportrs are pissed off they didn't get weeks of speculation and dragging the markles into it.

It doesn't matter if gay cousins marry, it's not as if they're going to produce children.

Elizabeth and Philip are second cousins once removed because of both being direct descendants of Christian IX of Denmark. In addition, they are separately also third cousins due both being great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria.

Royals don't really marry other royals anymore. The most recent marriage of royal cousins I can think of (major) is Constantine of Greece and Anne Marie of Denmark in the mid-60s, both are descendants of QV.

More recently, earlier this decade, Prince Aimone of Savoy married Olga of Greece. They are definitely related, but no closer than 2nd or 3rd cousins. This is the only royal princely marriage of cousins I can think of within the past two decades, although there may be some unions between the German princely/ducal houses that I'm not aware of.

And if you trace back in Philip and Elizabeth's family trees, there are lots of cousin marriages on top of that. From a genetic standpoint, Wiliam and Harry were wise to marry women who were not of royal or even aristocratic backgrounds.

[quote] descendants of Christian IX

What an unusual surname. When pronounced, is the emphasis on the I or the X?

[quote] Royals don't really marry other royals anymore.

Juan Carlos married Sophia, back then Princess of Greece

R111 Victoria and Albert were first cousins. Even grosser, Albert’s father was married to his own niece (sister’s daughter).

Even grosser is that the great-grandmother of Camilla Parker Bowles was the mistress to King Edward VII, which is Charles' Great-great-grandfather. And that's how she introduced herself to him. Can you imagine someone coming up to you and saying, "My grandmother was the prostitute that kept your grandfather's pecker up."

Well, it wasn't quite that, R156.

Trust you racist cunts to take a thread about Prince William and turn it into "I hate Meghan"

[quote] Victoria and Albert were first cousins.

I didn't know they were that closely related. So gross.

Here is where all that royal intermarriage ends up
