fun fact: in Elizabethan times Queen Elizabeth I banned all nobility ranked lower than a Duke from wearing the colours Purple, Red, Green, Silver and Gold as these were seen as Royal colours due to the material needed to make clothing in these colours being really expensive. She fined anyone one of nobility who wasn't a Duke or a Duchess for wearing clothing in those colours.

It’s interesting how historians differ in opinion on how the nobility was structured over the course of Britain’s history. I read an article which stated that Elizabeth I only banned the baronage or the lower ranking peerage (non-royal earls, viscounts, barons & landed gentry ie knights & squires) from wearing these colors but not the high ranking peerage (dukes, marquess, and royal-born earls) coz they were few since the Tudors didn’t like to investiture too many high ranking nobles coz of what happened during the war of roses.

Here in Sweden, the first person in line to the throne is called the Crown Prince or Crown Princess, while royal heirs further back in line are called just Prince or Princess. Royals also get the additional symbolic title as Duke or Duchess over a specific province in the country, which is rather arbitrarily selected. The present heir to the Swedish throne is Crown Princess Victoria, Duchess of West Gothland and second in line is her daughter Princess Estelle, Duchess of East Gothland.

@danielvo-ngoc346

@@bbbb-db9gr Very interesting thought. In the spirit of equality I almost think royal traditions could be updated so that only sovereigns get the title of king or queen in such a way that consorts would always be titled Prince/Princess Consort. That way it makes the titles of King/Queen actually equal, rather than a queen always being subordinate to a king. So in the case of a queen regnant, the consort would be titled prince consort, as has been the case in the past. In the event of a king regnant, the consort would be titled Princess Consort, not Queen. Reserving the title of Queen exclusively for queens regnant would make the regal titles equal and reserved only for born hereditary rulers. Just a thought. If the Duchess of Cornwall ends up being Princess Consort upon Prince Charles' accession, as it has been said, it would seem logical for the Duchess of Cambridge to eventually assume the same title when Prince William becomes King - rather than taking the title of Queen. I know divorce and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales factored into that but I think it would be a good opportunity for the British monarchy to modernize the way they use titles...

I know it’s the longest continuously-reigning imperial dynasty in the world (though for a lot of that time they have “reigned” only symbolically, with the Shoguns having the real power), and know that their knight-equivalent class, Samurai, was abolished completely in the meiji restoration, but don’t know much about the aristocratic clan ranks between the lowest (Samurai) and the highest (Shogun, which seems to basically = Warlord or King) besides that “Daimyo” is some sort of noblity-related term. Or whether or to what degree they still exist. Would be very interested to see how the titles worked mechanically or if it was just an ad-hoc mess.

There's a very good video called "The Last Dukes" that shows what happens when a dukedom goes extinct, and shows some examples of what modern day life is like for them. Some lost all their money and live quietly, some are fabulously wealthy and live it up, some have developed very lucrative tourist attractions, and one even showed how they separated the estate from the title (one of the central themes of "Downton Abbey"), so that the family assets continue but the title holder is a distant cousin who just comes in for special events. It's an excellent video, on KZread.

It's worth noting that the royals are famous for having multiple titles at the same time. They get multiple titles at birth, then more when they get married or come of age, or different stages in life. They get extra titles for Scotland and Northern Ireland, which they use mainly when traveling there. As they move up the line of succession, they will pick up more titles; for example, a child born a prince could move on to being a royal duke, then Prince of Wales, then King. Nobility could be born Honorable, then move up to Lord, then move up to Earl, then marry a Princess and get promoted further. Supposedly Prince Edward will inherit the Duke of Edinburgh title when his father passes, and so he agreed to be given the title of Earl at this time. Titles have nothing to do with the location. Prince William didn't have any special connection to Cambridge when he took that title; he didn't even visit the city for more than a year after he got the title.

"Gosford Park" is also a favorite movie of mine, and there were so many Dukes, Duchesses, Lords, Ladies, Marquesses, Marchionesses, Viscounts, Viscountesses, and the Right Honorables running around I couldn't keep them all straight.

I think you are right, a lot of the time it is the Queens choice to give titles. I mean there was quite a gap between the death of the previous Princess Royal, and Princess Anne being given the title. It's all going to become so much more complicated too, as so many generations are still alive at the same time. 500 years ago, you were lucky to be around to see your children become adults, let alone see grandchildren. Now it will take much longer for titles to be passed down as their current owner could live so long!

Very interesting, and a great resource reference for me as a writer. I'm designing my own Constitutional Monarchy for my Sci Fi novel, so understanding how the British system works is useful. Would it be possible for you to do a video on "knightly" honours awarded in other countries of the British Commonwealth (like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.)? I heard that Canadians can't become Knights anymore because the Quebecquois will complain (not fair to the rest of us!). It would be nice to get the full story. Thanks again!

Hi Albert❤

Error at 15:33 - Sons of a marquess are not referred to as “Honorable”, but have “Lord” placed before their first name. Also note that the eldest son will use their father’s subsidiary title. See example with David Cholmondeley, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley and Earl of Rocksavage. He has two boys, Alexander (older), and Oliver (younger). Alexander uses the courtesy title Earl of Rocksavage, and his younger brother is Lord Oliver Cholmondeley.

There are other Knightly Orders such as Order of the Garter, Thistle and Bath. Can you do a video on these?

I concur! One of my ancestors has so many things listed it became confusing to me with no knowledge of titles, ranks, positions, knighthood, orders, sheriff, etc. He was knighted by Henry VII on 18 January 1478. Then In 1489 he was made a Knight of the Bath at the creation of Henry VII's eldest son, Arthur Tudor, as Prince of Wales. also he was installed as a Knight of the Garter (Most noble Order of the Garter) in 1510, As well as In 1524 he was appointed High Sheriff of Surrey and Sussex. I do wonder what exactly a High Sheriff actually did as well as this other Orders. I'm not sure if they still exist but it would be very interesting to obtain more knowledge about these topics. I hope Lindsay does us a video on this. Much Respect from North Carolina, USA ps. He was one of the 'chief commanders' of an English force sent to Flanders in 1491 to assist the Emperor Maximilian against the French, and in 1496 was the 'chief commander' of forces raised to suppress the Cornish Rebellion, commanding a retinue at the Battle of Deptford Bridge. He participated in the sieges of Therouanne and Tournai in 1513, and was made a knight banneret after the French defeat at the Battle of the Spurs on 18 August 1513. He attended Mary Tudor at her marriage to Louis XII of France in 1514, and attended Henry VIII at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520. ..so yes I just recently found this out and now I can't get enough about my familys heritage . I'm currently trying to find (if any) ancestorial homes, if so are they still around in England. I didn't mean to ramble in my reply to you lol. I apologize. Take care and stay safe xxxooo

Facinating! As an American, I find royalty, the titles, and the monarchy really interesting! I've been an admirer since the days of Dianna, Princess of Whales, but the more I've learned about Queen Elizabeth II, is see she was quite an amazing woman! Her role in WWII as a mechanic has me in awe! These days I am a huge Prince William and Princess Catherine fan!💜👑💜 Wonderful video! ❤

This video is excellent. One thing I wish you had mentioned was that while the wives of princes may be addressed with the title princess, their own names are not used, but rather the name of their husband. Thus, there was never a "Princess Diana", which was commented on in her lifetime. She was correctly addressed as Princess Charles, but I don't ever remember hearing that. Today, the only wife of a prince who is routinely referred to in this way is Princess Michael of Kent, wife of Prince Michael of Kent. I think that is because the Prince is not a duke, so there is no other form of address available. But for Kate and Meghan, I imagine the forms Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex are preferable to Princess William and Princess Harry!!

Did you know that if the Dukes of Wellington run out of male heirs, their british, dutch and portuguese titles become extinct, but the spanish one can continue in a female line 'cause of absolute primogeniture (since 2006) for spanish noble titles? In fact the noble with the most titles is the 20th Duchess of Medinaceli within the peerage of Spain.

Yes, it's only a few years ago that the girls became in line to the throne, so Charlotte, William's daughter, becomes queen in her own right if George dies before he has children. So Harry is now down in sixth place.

Victoria Duchess of Medinaceli with 43 titles. The record was previously held by Cayetana Duchess of Alba who had 51 but passed some to children other than her principal heir so when on her decease Carlos became Duke of Alba he had only 38 other titles to comfort him and two of those he has ceded to his own heir. The Excelentísima Señora, Doña Cayetana held another record in being nineteens times a Grandee of Spain and possibly might even deserve further mention in the record books for the glorious name: María del Rosario Cayetana Paloma Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Fernanda Teresa Francisca de Paula Lourdes Antonia Josefa Fausta Rita Castor Dorotea Santa Esperanza Fitz-James Stuart, Silva, Falcó y Gurtubay. All in all a rather glorious lady!

The Royal Court was established at St. James Palace then. It, btw, still is. For example, all ambassadors of foreign countries in the UK are accredited to the Court of St. James. Buckingham Palace was the place Queen Victoria chose to make use of, it was known as Buckingham House before she had major extension work done to it. That was mainly because she literally lived like a prisoner in Kensington Palace before ascending to the throne and loathed the place as a consequence. St. James as a building of Tudor origin was considered too old fashioned for the young queen, and so she established her London court life at Buckingham Palace. Today, some royals (Princess Anne, I believe, and also Princess Beatrice of York Mrs. Mapelli-Mozzi) still make use of some apartments at St. James Palace when they need to stay overnight in London. The King lives in Clarence House, but uses Buckingham Palace for State Occasions. BP currently undergoes a major, and very expensive, re-vamp, as some of the equipment and installations, like electrics and heating, had been very outdated. Most offices and the court administration, however, are based at Buckingham Palace.

This video is just jam-packed with information. I might have to come back and watch it a few times for it really to sink in 😂 very informative, thank you 😊

Really interesting video! Thank you!! Just FYI though Gloucester is pronounced "Gloss-ter"! 😊

This is very well organized and presented. I've never seen so much info presented altogether! You might mention at the end that some of these honors vary depending on whether the recipient is a British citizen; I remember after the Gulf War, for example, honors were bestowed on some of the American generals, but they said they wouldn't be entitled to use the title "Sir" because they were American. Citizens of Commonwealth countries were OK to use them, though, I think.

Indeed Americans do not use nor recognize any titles of royalty or nobility of our citizens. No one can be a citizen if they have any such titles or in line of succession to any royalty. I’m not sure how Meghan was allowed to be styled except that essentially she doesn’t hold them in her own right as she is styled with Harry’s titles not her own. Still she should have renounced us citizenship and become a British/uk citizen before marriage. Its sad she never actually finished her citizenship there. I’m not sure how it’s going to work with their children as by us law if one parent is us citizen then so is the child. As she held hers they technically can be citizens except the children like Harry are in the line of succession which would ban their us citizenship. It’s an interesting situation but Harry unless he renounced everything including his right to inherit throne in succession no matter how long down he is.. can never be a us citizen. I don’t understand why they want titles if they don’t want to be involved and don’t live there. I don’t understand how that’s allowed honestly. Maybe in a common wealth country? But not here. We don’t want a monarchy and we don’t want nobility of other countries coming in n getting involved either. They seem to want the best of it all and it just seems illogical and unjust. I wish them health and happiness but they need to decide in or out. If out - renounce everything! Done! Or move back and take up your role if they would have them.. not sure much of the population would be pleased but who knows. I could care less about race nonsense they are a beautiful family all across and its sad to see the broken bond of the brothers but life happens. If H&M wish to live outside the country and not follow the protocols and expectations of the titles thats ok, but don’t continue to use them for publicity and strife. Let go and live the best life. But for goodness sake’s Americans do not want a prince in line of succession to the British monarchy, literally a descendent of the monarchy, the King our founding fathers addressed directly in the Declaration of Independence. No thank you. Yes it’s lovely to watch the beautiful historical institution of monarchy in other countries do their thing. But we watch from afar, we don’t want it here.. and we don’t use such titles nor should we.

Funny fact: There is a last name in Mexico and Portugal too that is Infante. I happen to have that last name and since Infante is what the male heirs to the Spanish throne are called, I could probably claim to be an heir to the throne of Spain. Haha.

That and someone once referred to Herr Beethoven’s wife but the former happen like every 20 pages and the latter only once so the former irked me more.

I think they should create more hereditary peerages but only the person who was awarded it would have a seat. There descendants should hold the title though

@SusannaEmily

3 жыл бұрын

When referring to historic hereditary peers a seat could refer to one of two things: - A seat in the House of Lords - The estate connected with the title HofL seats are not automatic for hereditary peers anymore and it is extremely rare - but still possible - for a new hereditary peerage to be created. The last non-royal ones to be created were in the 1980s.

@SusannaEmily

3 жыл бұрын

In the UK we have peers which gain seats but only they gain the seat. They are known as life peers. They hold the title for life - having been awarded it (in theory because of good service or skills) - but the title lives and dies with them. For example, ex-PM Harold Wilson was created a life peer. This enabled him to sit in the House of Lords, however, when he died, that peerage died as well. That is how Life Peerages work. They were introduced by MacMillan in the late 1950s.

Well done! This was a very detailed and interesting video so thank you😃👍

Very "timely" video. Excellent as usual.💯

You have done a pretty good job in summarising an immensely complex topic, but you did not get every detail totally right. For example, the politicians had gained control over who the monarch elevated to the peerage, long before the Life Peerages Act 1958. Another detail is that peerages can be granted with a special remainder. Arthur Balfour (Prime Minister in the early 20th century) had no children. His Earldom was granted with a special remainder so his nephews could inherit it. Others with daughters but no sons (such as Earl Mountbatten of Burma) had a special remainder so a daughter could inherit the title. The Crown, as the fount of honour, can but does not have to alter the normal rules of how hereditary peerages are inherited.

03:13 it's pronounced more like "dough fan" than "do feen."

This is actually a well researched video, thumbs up!
