Any Royal Gays?

[Epigonos]

Another Russian Grand Duke. The Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich son of the Emperor Alexander II. He was killed by a terrorists bomb on February 17, 1905. He was married to Queen Victoria's granddaughter Elizabeth. They had no children and it is fairly well accepted that he was a macho gay.

Avalon must have become bored with this forum. He was starting several threads per day and then just stopped

 

I sure hope he either just got bored or was suspended. I hope he is well, health-wise.

King David and his boyfriend Jonathan. Zeus [king of the gods] and his boytoy Ganymede. Achilles [son of the king of the Myrmidons] and his beloved Patroclus.

Does anyone think that Prince Charles will abdicate when Queen Elizabeth passes so that the more attractive prince will inherit and have a very lengthy reign? I suppose he won't as he seems to be better liked now that Diana is being less and less remembered.

 

I bet there's nothing that could keep Charles from being king after waiting his whole life. He may have to hobble down the aisle of the Abbey with a walker to get to the coronation chair but he'll go....

 

Besides to really get to the attractive prince they'd have to skip over Charles, Wills, and George and put Harry on the throne.

Well, you really don't know what George will look like as an adult. The mother is pretty so who knows. There can be a regency for the son.

Yes, George may be a looker in twenty-years.

 

But for the next hundred years it's conceivable the king will always be old. Longevity being what it is in the House of Windsor the heir may only inherit after the monarch lives to be 100 or more. I guess we'll have to see if retirement becomes a thing once this Queen leaves us....in twenty years maybe...

Sergei’s wife Elizabeth was not only Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, but also the older sister of Alexandra, wife of Nicholas II, the last Tsar. So Sergei was Nicholas’s uncle (brother of his father), and his wife was Alexandra’s sister.

 

Thank goodness they didn’t have children: the relation between them and Nicholas’ and Alexandra’s children would have been a genealogical nightmare.

Do you really think the David-Jonathan relationship was sexual?

 

Well, unfortunately the only good popes are Italian popes. I know, I know, people will respond that Francis is Argentinian, however, he is really Italian - both because he is Italian by heritage (Jorge Bergoglio) and his parents were Italian immigrants. Also, much of Argentina, particularly Buenos Aires, is Italian. So he adopted the Italian ways. The reason I say that the only good popes are Italian is because I know that Italians can't quite obey rules so are more apt to understand when people stray a bit, e.g., so you sucked a couple of cocks, here's your Communion wafer. That contrasts with the last Polish and German popes. OK, I'm biased but that's the way it is.

 

I think that's more of a liberal vs. conservative than a southern vs. central European one.

.

It is hard to know what the passionate emotional friendships between legendary figures of other cultures really entailed. I think it is enough to say that David and Jonathan's relationship was noteworthy enough to have drawn the special attention of their chroniclers. David was famous for his sensual nature, so it is not unreasonable to assume that he and Jonathan might have engaged in sexual activity as part of their friendship.

Edward's titles can pass to his son Viscount Severn but not to his daughter Louise.

 

Isn't it odd that the children of Prince Edward are not Prince and Princess? As children of a male son of the sovereign they should have been given those titles at birth. In future years they might resent it. The male children of George V all had children who became Prince and Princess (i.e. Prince Edward Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent, Prince Richard of Gloucester, and the late Prince William of Gloucester)

They are. They’re just not called so.

 

Because they are the children of one of the sovereign’s sons, they are entitled to be known as Princess Louise and Prince James of Wessex (their father’s territorial designation.) However, given their placement int he line of succession and their desire to give them a less restricted uprbringing, their parents have chosen to have them “styled” (using the title of) the children of an earl (Prince Edward is the Earl of Wessex.) So Louise is known as Lady Louise Windsor (An earl’s daughter is called “Lady FirstName” and “Windsor” is the Royal family surname.) Her younger brother James is known as Viscount Severn, a lesser title of his father’s (standard for the oldest son of an earl or any other peer.)

 

Theoretically, when they are grown up, if they prefer to be known as Princess Louise and/or Prince James, they have the legal right to do so

I never noticed this about Edward's children until sutherland brought it up. Prince Andrew's daughters are Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York. So, it seems to be Edward's and his wife's wish. It's another case of choosing to use a "lesser" title in the royal family like the way Camilla uses "Duchess of Cornwall" rather than "Princess of Wales".

I find this interesting. The rules of succession were altered in 2011 allowing the sovereign's oldest child, even if a female with younger brothers, to become the sovereign. However, equality for the children of the monarch's daughter did not occur. For example, the children of the Princess Royal (Anne) are not prince or princess nor will the children of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge be princes.

Also, as I understand it, the new succession rules apply only to people born after a certain date. So, yes, Princess Charlotte would be heir ahead of younger brothers (if any come along). But Princess Anne is still behind all her brothers in the succession order.

 

Things are just as weird in Spain: The rules were changed for hereditary titles. Males are NOT given preference over females. Yet the monarchy still practices male preference primogeniture. King Felipe has an older sister who was passed over.

Franz, Duke of Bavaria is gay I believe. H is the head of the House of Wittelsbach, titular King of Bavaria, and Jacobite monarch of the United Kingdom: the king over the water.

Prince Albert of Monaco has been rumored for decades

I hadn't heard that rumor. I know Albert married ( a woman) relatively late in life but I figured it was his playboy lifestyle. Maybe he only married to fulfill his obligation to produce an heir.

 

He's been reported to have had an active love life and fathered several children out-of-wedlock including at least one American.

 

Here's some fairly juicy reading about the prince:

America’s Last Remaining Princess Is A 91-Year-Old Lesbian

And she's embroiled in some royal drama.

“And so, genealogically speaking, she is of high royal blood.”

Unfortunately, Kawananakoa’s royal blood hasn’t protected her from royal drama: She’s currently entangled in a series of ugly legal battles.

 

First, there’s Kawananakoa’s fight with her former attorney, James Wright, for control of her $200 million fortune. After the princess suffered a stroke in June 2017, Wright wrested control of the estate, arguing she was “incapacitated.”

 

Months later, Kawananakoa married longtime partner Veronica Gail Worth, who now controls her wife’s health care power of attorney. Worth, who reportedly collects a $700,000 annual “allowance,” is embroiled in her own legal battle with Wright, who says she’s only after the Kawananakoa fortune.

 

He’s accused Worth of abusing the princess and claims he has photographic evidence of bruises she inflicted on Kawananakoa. (Both Worth and Kawananakoa have denied the allegations.)

 

The princess is currently fighting Wright to regain control of her estate. A court-appointed specialist will assess her mental and physical state after a hearing on Thursday.

The eldest surviving son of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruling emir of Dubai, is rumoured to be gay. After his eldest brother died of a heart attack in 2015, he is now the heir when his father steps down/dies.

Apparently he has created a new position in the Dubai government of “tolerance minister” (and see how you can be arrested for holding hands on a beach there, a tolerance minister is probably long overdue!)

(Also check out the photos in that article of him and his billionaire father riding the tube in London when they were there on holidays last summer)
