I was today years old when I realized that Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding anniversary (May 19th) is the same day as Queen Charlotte’s birthday. She’s buried at St. George’s Chapel and her son Prince Augustus Frederick was the first Duke of Sussex

Charlotte’s husband King George III also had a younger brother named Henry who married a commoner. She was thought of as “one of the great beauties of the age.” Prince Henry’s death date (Sept 18) is three days after Prince Harry’s birthday (Sept 15).

It goes even deeper—the first Duke of Sussex was apparently known for his progressive views and later fell out with his older brother George IV.

His union was annulled, so he never had a Duchess of Sussex. Prince Augustus Frederick was known for his liberal views, which included reform of Parliament and the abolition of the slave trade.

Queen Elizabeth knew what she was doing when she decided to make Harry the current Duke of Sussex.

First of all, I would like to thank you all for this amazing year! It's been a pleasure meeting you all and I'm beyond thankful for your support.

The British monarch owns some of the collection in right of the Crown and some as a private individual. It is made up of over one million objects, including 7,000 paintings, over 150,000 works on paper, this including 30,000 watercolours and drawings, and about 450,000 photographs, as well as around 700,000 works of art, including tapestries, furniture, ceramics, textiles, carriages, weapons, armour, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments, tableware, plants, manuscripts, books, and sculptures.

Some of the buildings which house the collection, such as Hampton Court Palace, are open to the public and not lived in by the Royal Family, whilst others, such as Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the most remarkable of them, Buckingham Palace are both residences and open to the public.

“I don't know Empress I think by now even the BRF doesn't want anything to do with that dukedom anymore. I doubt it'll be used after this”

I don’t think it’s fear. I think that they don’t want the historic correlation, indeed the negative historic correlation may be why Sussex was awarded to begin with.

After all the Duke of Clarence title is still mothballed.

I think the thought process behind the Duke of Edinburgh title not being hereditary (ie passed down to James Earl of Wessex) is that it will go to Prince Louis together with the Duke of Edinburgh awards.

Does everyone know the story about the first Duke of Sussex? It's so wild and well worth a read. I really hope the title being given to Harry was epic foreshadowing.

Unlike Victoria, his (Prince Augustus) wedding broke regal rules with all the consequences that brought with it. In 1793, he secretly married Lady Augusta Murray and they went on to have two children, Augustus and Augusta. But the wedding had been in contravention of the Royal Marriages Act and was annulled. The couple parted in 1801 – the same year that Augustus became Duke of Sussex.

He married again, in 1831, to Lady Cecilia Buggin but as their wedding on May 2nd that year was in contravention of the Royal Marriages Act, his new wife was never called Duchess of Sussex. Not that Cecilia missed out completely. In the same year that Augustus gave his niece Victoria away, the young queen made her aunt by marriage Duchess of Inverness in her own right.

Unicorns and goats and elephants, oh my! This elephant, in the center of a star of David, appears at the beginning of the Book of Deuteronomy (Devarim) in a highly illuminated copy of the Pentateuch made somewhere in the Holy Roman Empire between about 1300 and 1325.

Some scholars have argued that the artists of this manuscript derived the elephant symbol largely from the influence of Christian artists and writers (who in turn derived much of the symbolism from Late Antique and ancient writers). There are dragons higher up on the page, and the (satanic) dragon fighting the (steadfast and loving) elephant was a major theme in Christian bestiaries, patristics, and other works. However, in "The Elephant and the Law", Marc Michael Epstein argues that there were subtler meanings and that elephants had long-standing symbolism in Jewish art, too. (He points out that elephants do appear in a mosaic on a floor of a synagogue from about 530 AD).

Today, this manuscript is known as the "Duke of Sussex Pentateuch" because it was once owned by Augustus, Duke of Sussex, one of the sons of King George III and Queen Charlotte (of Bridgerton fame).

Date: 1300-1325 Origin: Holy Roman Empire Now British Library, Add MS 15282, f. 238r

Not only do they need to remove the Sussex titles, Harry should be forbidden to use “Prince” in any capacity.

He is a blood Prince….and that title can be removed…..❤️I bet Parliament is now seeing him as an enemy of the United Kingdom….

The Titles Deprivation Act 1917 is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom which authorised enemies of the United Kingdom during the First World War to be deprived of their British peerages and royal titles.[3]

All blood Princes

By the King's Order in Council of 28 March 1919, the following persons were deprived of their titles[15] (names listed in the form given in the Order in Council):

His Royal Highness Charles Edward, Duke of Albany, Earl of Clarence and Baron Arklow

His Royal Highness Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, Earl of Armagh

His Royal Highness Ernest Augustus (Duke of Brunswick), Prince of Great Britain and Ireland (son and heir-apparent of the Duke of Cumberland)

What "Quen Charlotte - a bridgerton Story" omitted

1 ) Charlotte and George had 15 children but... they were a disaster

2) she and George never fully understand that their childre... could grow up and being men and women, for them they were only "my lovely children"

3) Charlotte forced her daughters to be eternal maiden never understand their wories or their desiders

4) This had an explanation: if she could accept their girls were grown up... she shlud be start to planning their marriage so... marrieges = girls gone to Europe = she alone

5) Charlotte hated being left alone, especially after her husband's sickness so she started to victimblaming their daughters with "I cannot do it all by myself, you must stay with me", "when your father will heal we will talk about it ", "I and your father are happy with you, why are you not happy with us?"

6) she emotionally trapped all the girls and every time one of them succed to get an husband she was very furious, how dare she ran away from her and from England, and from their lovely papa?

7) Charlotte Princess Royal, nickname Royal, literally ran away from her mother when she married at 31 years old, and so their sisters.

8) Princess Sophie was "burned" when she was pregnant and she had a baby from... who knows? She was forced to stay with her mother and never be considered for a weddding

8a ) the father was Thomas Garth, king' equerry who was 30 years older than her, she was abused/they had an affair, they married in secret... it's not know

8b) she was raped by her own brother the duke of Cumberland. Or she was convinced by him to start a sexual relationship 'cuase she was very naive ( blame for this her mother ), a queen's dame wrote in her diary that she saw the pair huggin and kissing in "a very strange e disgusting way"

9) The boy btw... worst.

10) George IV a pompous fatty who was too coward to end all his relationship face to face

11) Frederick duke of York was a drunker

12) Edward duke of Kent was a sadist, his men hated and feared him

13) Ernest of Cumberland... an incestous murder. He killed his valet, Sellis, and it was rumored that she had an affair with Sellis' wife, with Sellis himself or a manage à trois

14) I omitted Sailor Billy, later William IV, Augustus of Sussex and Adolph of Cambridge 'cause they were lovely fellows, the only ones

15) so if Charlotte should blaiming someone for his daughters status... she can balme only herself

Charlotte was an amazing wife, a lovely queen but a terrible mother, this's a fact

Dukedom of Sussex (wiki) by u/booksy200

Dukedom of Sussex (wiki) Just my thoughts: They'll have to retire the Dukedom of Sussex (again). WHO would want that title after the HaMs have disgraced it? Seriously. If you're a royal and the crown bestows this on you... wouldn't you be wondering why they are trying to jinx you???Duke of Sussex - WikipediaDuke of Sussex is a substantive title, one of several royal dukedoms in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It is a hereditary title of a specific rank of nobility in the British royal family. It has been created twice and takes its name from the historic county of Sussex in England.First created in 1801, the title lapsed in 1843 but was revived when Queen Elizabeth II bestowed it on her grandson Prince Harry on 19 May 2018 just before his marriage to Meghan Markle, who then became the Duchess of Sussex.First creation, 1801[edit]The title of Duke of Sussex was first conferred on 24 November 1801 upon Prince Augustus Frederick,[4] the sixth son of King George III. He was made Baron Arklow and Earl of Inverness at the same time, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The title became extinct upon Prince Augustus Frederick's death in 1843.Although Prince Augustus Frederick was survived by a son and daughter by Lady Augusta Murray, their marriage (purportedly solemnized at St George's Hanover Square Church, Westminster, in 1793) had been annulled for lack of royal permission under the Royal Marriages Act 1772, rendering the children illegitimate under English law and unable to inherit titles from their father. Both children by the annulled marriage died childless, rendering the issue of their inheritance moot.EDIT: Maybe the Queen saw MeGain coming from a mile away. post link: https://ift.tt/uQNoC4E author: booksy200 submitted: July 04, 2023 at 11:16PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

Duke of Sussex

It is a hereditary title of a specific rank of nobility in the British royal family. It takes its name from the historic county of Sussex in England.

First creation, 1801: The title of Duke of Sussex was first conferred on 24 November 1801 upon Prince Augustus Frederick, the sixth son of King George III. He was made Baron Arklow and Earl of Inverness at the same time, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The title became extinct upon Prince Augustus Frederick's death in 1843.

Although Prince Augustus Frederick was survived by a son and daughter by Lady Augusta Murray, their marriage (purportedly solemnized at St George's Hanover Square Church, Westminster, in 1793) had been annulled for lack of royal permission under the Royal Marriages Act 1772, rendering the children illegitimate under English law and unable to inherit titles from their father. Both children by the annulled marriage died childless, rendering the issue of their inheritance moot.

On 2 May 1831, Prince Augustus Frederick married secondly (and again in contravention of the Royal Marriages Act 1772) to Lady Cecilia Gore at Great Cumberland Place, London. Not being the Prince's legitimate wife, Lady Cecilia could not be received at court. On 30 March 1840, she was given the title of Duchess of Inverness in her own right by Queen Victoria. The title was revived in 2018, when Queen Elizabeth II bestowed it on her grandson Prince Harry on 19 May 2018 upon his marriage to Meghan Markle.

Wikipedia was the source of this info on the Sussex title. The 1st Duke was a hot mess, annulled marriage & another marriage not recognized. No wonder the title died. I think it's karma that the current Duke, Harry, is also a hot mess with a marriage that's caused trouble.

George III and the Royal Family on the Terrace at Windsor, 1781

A procession walking in couples (right to left) across a quadrangle or court. They go in order of age: the two youngest infants, each in the arms of a lady, go first, the king and queen last. Prince Frederick and the Prince of Wales walk together; the next couple, the Princess Royal and Prince William Henry, turn round to look at their elder brothers. Princess Augusta Sophia has her arm round the shoulders of her brother Edward; next, Princess Elizabeth walks with an arm across the shoulders of Ernest; two little boys, Augustus and Adolphus, are next. In front of them are two little girls, Princess Mary and Princess Sophia. The two infants in arms are Octavius and Alfred (born in 1779 and 1780).

Charlotte's Funeral

Charlotte’s Funeral

In a nation still sunk in economic depression, the focus for hope had been taken away. But for the time being the people were still united, although it was only grief that united them. Public buildings were draped in black. Everyone who could afford it was dressed in black. Even the most destitute unemployed labourers were wearing ragged black armbands. Every place of worship, whatever the…

Prince Augustus Frederick, the first Duke of Sussex, supported the abolition of the slave trade and the removal of civil restrictions on Jewish people. Nearly two hundred years later, Prince Henry Charles Albert David, the current Duke of Sussex, made a stand against racism and left the royal family to support his biracial American wife and child.
