« on: April 01, 2009, 06:49:10 PM »

After reading a post by Janet Ashton in the "Your Top 10 of Boring Royals" topic, I thought it would be interesting to explore which royals you would invite to dinner. No rules here...invite anyone you would like to know better, admire, probe for tidbits of information, etc. If you would like to explain each pick, please do!

Here is my list in no particular order:

Queen (Consort) Elizabeth, the Queen Mother
Queen (Consort) Alexandra
Queen (Consort) Mary
Queen Victoria
Queen Elizabeth I
Prince George, Duke of Kent
Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale
Czar Nicholas II
Czarina (Consort) Maria Feodorovna
Czarina Catherine (the Great)

The Windsors / Dukedoms of the United Kingdom

« on: March 31, 2009, 05:05:57 PM »

After searching the board for a suitable location to post a question, I have created this new topic.

When individuals are given(created)/inherit a Dukedom in the United Kingdom, does it come with an income from that geographical territory? Or, is it simply symbolic title. 

I know that HM The Queen and the PoW receive an income from separate duchies, but does Prince Andrew also receive an income from York, etc.?
