Yea, that smile look more natural.

Another question about the family photo. Who is the young women standing next to prince Harry? A girlfriend or a relative?

 

[Blobbenstein]

well, to Harry's left, I think that's Kate's sister Pippa .

Thanks. Yea I figured she was a relative.

Is Camilla an official relative? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it's been years since I've heard anything about her.

She married Prince Charles a while back, and is the Duchess of Cornwall.

I love the matching outfits.

Are not both Kate and Camilla princesses? Where does "Dutchess" fit in?

 

[Blobbenstein]

Kate is the Dutchess of Cambridge...not sure how one becomes a princess these days...

Neither are princesses. Kate is the Duchess of Cambridge and Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall. These titles are given to them by the Queen.

So when William becomes king, Kate will remain a Dutchess?

I gather that only those with a direct blood line can be prince and princesses?

But wait... your link referred to Dianna as a princess. I'm confused.

Kate will become Queen consort when William becomes queen. She will never be a queen in her own right. If he dies before her she will become the Queen Mother.

I think someone said on another forum, that if William died on the throne, Kate could be some sort of temporary queen, if George was too young to be king. Forgotten what she would be called officially.

How very modern!

Nah, I've never watched The Tudors. I think it was this program I watched. http://tudortutor.com/2011/01/26/recap-inside-the-body-of-henry-viii/

I thought that it was only a prince that became a consort. So Kate can be a queen because queens dont outpower kings. However, the current Queen's hubby cannot be King because this is better than Queen so he has to be prince consort.

I think. Dont take my word for it. How complicated!

^^That's the same thing I watched.

The Tudors series was interesting and fun but I didn't like some of the historical inaccuracies.

I'm not a history expert so that didn't dampen my enjoyment. However I also have read that many
experts also spotted the inaccuracies.

I really think that the Tudors is quite magical even though there were many awful scenes of cruelty beyond words. I often had to hide my eyes whilst watching the series.

^^If I watch a show like that with history I like it to be as accurate as possible.Plus, I am a huge fan of the time period and also the people themselves.I don't like to see shows that are based on historical events not get it right because then people assume what they have seen is the truth when it's not.

I guess for dramatic purposes they add some stuff and remove some stuff to make it more interesting to viewers.I find true fans get rather annoyed especially if they really love history.

Yes, they have to make it easier to film and they also have a time frame to respect.

What were the inaccurcies that you spotted Everleigh ?

 

[Everleigh]

^^There are many,many things.Some small, some big.Let's start with this. http://www.thetudorswiki.com/page/The Tudors Historical Inaccuracies Season 2

That's just season 2.I also didn't like the choice of Meyers to play Henry.It fits during his younger period but not when he weighed 400lbs.Henry was also 6'2 a pretty big guy.

But basically this series was suppose to entertain and it does but it's rather sad when people watch it thinking they have the whole story when there is so much more.

I really liked the Tudors, too. The costumes! ! I liked the later seasons less than the early ones, but I still enjoyed them all.
