William & Catherine and their titles

[celticcrossanon]

Personally, I've had enough of this circus. The monarchy does nothing to stop them and we end up wondering if there is not a double game on the part of Charles and the palace. Four years have passed and so many things that could have been done and nothing happened. The palace protects these two traitors and considers the public stupid. They could have taken away the duchy from them, demoted them to the rank of count and countess or worse, baron and baroness. All traitors.

Hi Nonny,

I think many people are feeing fed up with the Harkle antics and the lack of a firm response from the palace. I know I am. I agree that more could be done to minimise the Harkle damage.

I would start by making a very clear distinction between them and the rest of the royal family, in a way that would be understood by people in any country, such as taking Harry off the royal website. King Charles made a good beginning in his speech shortly after his accession where he spoke of William and Catherine as The Prince and Princess of Wales and referred to Harry as Harry, while wishing him well in his life overseas, but - he then didn't follow it up with any action to reinforce that distinction, so Harry was able to continue to imply that he was an important member of the royal family, and there was nothing to contradict this on the website or in his titles.

With respect to the titles, my understanding is they go together, as a group. The format is to have a Dukedom in England, an Earldom in Scotland, and a Barony in Northern Ireland (Wales is reserved for the heir to the throne). Prince William's titles upon marriage followed the same format (Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus), as did Prince Andrew's (Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh) and Prince Philip's (Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, Baron Greenwich). Prince Edward was unusual in that he was made and Earl, not a Duke, and promised the Dukedom of Edinburgh in due course (Earl of Wessex and Viscount Severn). He also held no Scottish or Northern Irish title until he was granted the Earl of Forfar for use in Scotland on his 55th birthday.

As the titles were bestowed together, to my mind they should be removed together, which would leave Harry as The Prince Harry and Meghan as The Princess Meghan (EDIT: Correction: The Princess Harry/Henry, not Meghan - my mistake, sorry). I would much rather have the HRH style and Prince title permanently removed from Harry, leaving him as the plain Duke of Sussex, or have all titles stripped from him, leaving him as Harry Mountbatten-Windsor. I would also be happy to see him vanish from the royal website. If both of those happened I would be very happy, as then Harry Mountbatten-Windsor could live his life with the privacy that he keeps saying he desires, with no public ties to the BRF. He could be on the same level as Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, who have both managed to live without titles.

I’ll defer to KP’s knowledge, but I thought C’s title was Lady Carrickfergus as the wife of a Baron, instead of a Baroness in her own right?

ahahaha the institution sometimes doesn't seem to know things they should. The palace, at the beginning of their marriage, used the "Lady" style when referring to Catherine but I guess it changed.

I remember there was an interesting discussion once on Twitter about this and several people were saying that by getting married, Catherine was adopting the female version of William's titles so she wasn't simply the wife of a Baron, so they concluded that it made sense for her to use the title Baroness because that's the female version of William's title and honestly, that makes sense.

Isn’t Catherine Lady Carrickfergus, not Baroness, as the wife of a baron instead of a baroness in her own right? I mean the Court Circular is probably the authority on this, but I’m sure she’s always been styled as Lady Carrickfergus before.

It's suppose to be Lady because Kate is not the title holder

In the official stuff it was always Lady so idk if KP just fucked it up today

[March 18, 2019]: Some favorite photos of Baroness Carrickfergus on Saint Patricks Day yesterday. I loved her look and the yearly tradition of this great engagement continues. Her hair was beautiful and I loved this new Alexander McQueen coat. Over the years of following Kate’s fashion, McQueen has become my favorite designer, too - the pieces from this house are so consistently, classically elegant, and I struggle to think of one that’s done her wrong. The Lock& Co.hat was perfection and while I know Treacy is the biggest name in millinery I always seem to prefer the Lock & Co. or Jane Taylor designs! Anyway this all-over green was delicious and that enormous shamrock is just a huge yes. Can’t wait to see the duchess on her engagement with the Queen tomorrow! 🌈 #katemiddleton #catherinemiddleton #duchesscatherine #duchessofcambridge #catherineduchessofcambridge #weadmirekatemiddleton #royalstyle #katesstyle #stpatricksday #catherinemiddletonstyle

#TheRoyalWedding On 16 November 2010, Clarence House officially announced that Prince William of Wales, second in line to the British throne and direct heir to Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, was officially engaged to then Miss Catherine Middleton, a commoner of the county of Berkshire. The couple met at St. Andrews University College in Scotland and had an 8-year love affair. The prince had asked his girlfriend to marry him a month earlier, during a trip to Kenya, presenting her with the same diamond and sapphire ring his father had given his mother in their engagement 30 years ago, As a preparation for life that Catherine Middleton would have after marriage as a member of the British royal family, the couple soon appeared together in various official engagements in cities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The bride's dress, considered "a state secret", was not revealed until her arrival at Westminster Abbey. The designer was Sarah Burton, head stylist for the British brand Alexander McQueen, a hit for millions of bettors. On the morning of April 29, 2011, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom became Prince William of Wales as Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron of Carrickfergus. The title of Princess is given only to girls of royal blood; thus the bride could not become Princess Catherine, officially becoming Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus. Due to the marriage, Catherine also officially gained the treatment of "Her Royal Highness" the couple have three children. * Prince George of Cambridge (George Alexander Louis, born 22 July 2013). * Princess Charlotte of Cambridge (Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, 02 May 2015). * Prince Louis of Cambridge (Louis Arthur Charles, born 23 April 2018).
