Aye, just mentioning the outsides. Another entry into the Royal family from common background appears to be the previous Duchess of Kent. What is more surprising is the number of Royals who have been prevented from marrying commoners or have had to do silly things like abdicate or invent entire new religions to get around it.
It's just daft! Maybe things can be different for them now.
Yeah. next thing you now those damn anglicans and episcopolopo... episciperlists... well HEATHENS will start telling you there's no such thing as hell or satan
I love that the name was changed in America was so we wouldn't be confused for Royalists during the Revolutionary War.
Just because I feel like it, I'm going to add "I'm a goddamn heathen episciperlist" to your sig
How many times has a commoner married into the royal family?
Not since the middle ages...?
Far more often than most people realise it seems
Countess of Wessex for one. A bunch of previously titled people were not royals and wed into the family (Diana, Prince Philip, etc. etc.)
But Diana was a Lady, and Phillip born into Greece's royal family.
wasn't fergie a commoner?
She was yeah, but her family had a weird connection to the throne so it was always up in the air. Technically though, definitely a commoner, albeit a wealthy one like Kate

How the hell does the throne even work? If William drops dead tomorrow, is she still in line to become a Queen? Or does she have to become the queen first and then he has to drop dead? How do the Targaryens fit into this? And why was Prince Albert always a prince? Wasn't he married to a queen? And just what is a marquess anyways?

I guess if Will went and did the dodo dance, his brother would be next in line.

If he drops dead tomorrow she will be Duchess of Cambridge and that's it, she isn't a Princess and if he becomes King she will become Kings Consort, if he dies, he will be succeeded by Harry and she will return to being Duchess of Cambridge only. Only one person can be the Ruler in this monarchy as far as I'm aware.
Prince Albert was a Prince to start with (of Greece) and when Elizabeth II became Queen he became the Queens Consort. He renounced his ties to Greek/Danish royalty and became a standard British subject. Later on in their marriage he was given the Prince title (for a second time, lucky fellow)

I think you mean Prince Phillip. Albert was Victoria's husband.

Then again, you could buy a title back then but a title can't buy you wealth. Maybe that was the logic behind it

Excuse me
I present
my grandfather's
That guy!
Next in line for Archbishop right here!
Also, those eyebrows are post-trim
My other grandfather has the awesomest, fullest beard, and neither grandfather is bald
Growing up I just assumed that all old men grew unending facial hair
o_O It's an amazing new fact of life that one eyebrow can beat a moustache. Any moustache.

Those are eyebrows that Gandalf himself would envy!
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it was common for daughters of wealthy Americans to go and marry some titled guy who needed money.

Prince Albert was not always a Prince, he only got that title because his missus was Queen. It goes by blood, not marriage.
A marquess is a peerage title that has died out pretty much.
Though I may be wrong on those.
If he drops dead tomorrow she will be Duchess of Cambridge and that's it, she isn't a Princess and if he becomes King she will become Kings Consort, if he dies, he will be succeeded by Harry and she will return to being Duchess of Cambridge only.

Charlie boy, when the time comes abdicate in favour of your son please
It's what a marquee becomes after a spontaneous sex-change.

Oh hey, the first Google result for "prince albert" sure is something
I maintain that Elizabeth is simply going to refuse to die until after he does.

You know, considering what happened to Charles I.
It's like superheroes! Get a syringeful of royal blood and inject it into yourself and you become royalty.
Comicbook logic always works.
that was the dude that got shafted out of his job/life by Cromwell right?

I like.
But the best name, the only name for a king should be Diederik.
