Subtext and Culture, Young Royals, What's in a name?

I thought I was done, but I have material for one more post. I want to write more about how royal names work, because I've seen a lot of confusion and simple lack of knowledge in the tags, so think of this as more of an informative culture post than an analysis post of the show.

European royals and nobles have styles, names, titles, and houses. In addition, monarchs have regnal names.

A style is how you formally address someone, based on their rank and title. In Sweden, the only styles left are "majesty" and "royal higness", where kings and queens are addressed as "your majesty", and select members of the royal family are addressed as "your royal highness". In Swedish, these styles are often abbreviated as H.M. - Hans/Hennes Majestät and H.K.H. - Hans/Hennes Kungliga Höghet. In English, the abbreviations are HM and HRH.

In the show, you can see this when Simon meets the Queen, and shakily addresses her as "Your Majesty", or when Minou calls up August and says "Her Majesty the Queen has resolved your problems with the school fee".

In less formal, but still polite speech, you would use third person addressing when talking to or about the royals, and there are numerous examples of this in the show:

Anette to Erik: "How nice to see the crown prince again!"

Some aide to Wilhelm: "Could we get a shot of the prince shaking hands with the headmistress?"

Anette: "Wilhelm, sorry, the crown prince, how nice the memorial was!"

August: "The queen has asked me, personally, to take care of him."

Malin: "I just wanted to remind the crown prince that breakfast closes in five minutes."

Names for royals and nobles work just like the rest of us, but with one exception: Royals generally do not use last names, while lesser nobles do. They also tend to have several first names, and while they generally pick names for their children based on trends in society, they stay on the traditional conservative side, and they often pick names from their family history.

The show only tells us one first name for each member of the royal family: Kristina, Ludvig, Erik, and Wilhelm, so we have no idea what other names they might have.

In the real world, the name of the king of Sweden is Carl Gustaf Folke Hubertus, the crown princess' name is Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée, and her oldest daughter's name is Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, just to give you some flavour of what it could look like.

Titles are what sets higher nobles apart from us mere commoners, and have their origin in the feudal system of medieval Europe, which was a hierarchical socio-economic-military system where the lord of a land could grant a portion of his land, a fief, to a vassal in exchange for fealty - loyalty, taxes, and military service. Doing so would create a title, it would make the vassal a noble of a lower rank than his lord, because you could only create titles lower than the one you possessed. So, in general, kings could create dukes or lower, dukes could create counts or lower, and counts could create barons. The fief of a duke is called a duchy, a count ruled over a county, and a baron over a barony, although there were more ranks and more titles than that, depending on region and language, but those are the main ones.

Every single squabble or conflict or battle or civil war or war fought in the middle ages was over the titles, because the titles legally conferred ownership of a piece of land, and with it the rights of taxation and the economic value of that land. Over time, kingdoms got more centralized and the hierarchical nature of the system broke down, while the titles became more hereditary, and ownership of the land became less important, which meant that minor nobles lost the power to create vassals and fiefs, while the power to create titles was reserved for the monarchs, and titles created in this era usually only granted people a title for an area or a castle or a manor house that they already owned.

Going into modern times, European countries curbed title creation, but generally kept protections for existing titles and allowing them to be inherited according to whatever inheritance rules applied to each title. But if a title holder dies without a legal heir, the title is lost forever, which means that most modern day noble families want to make sure their title, their history, their legacy can survive long into the future. Also note that one person can hold several titles, and each of those titles can be inherited individually and under different rules.

In Sweden, there are currently 46 comital families (greve/grevinna - count/countess), 131 baronial families (friherre/friherrinna - baron/baroness), and 484 untitled lower noble families. There are no independent ducal families, instead the monarch grants royal children a ceremonial duchy at birth, for one of the 25 historical provinces of Sweden. This means that every single member of the Swedish royal family is a prince or princess of Sweden, and also duke or duchess of some province.

Again, we have no idea what province Wilhelm is the duke of in the show, while for example in the real Sweden, Princess Estelle is the duchess of Östergötland, Prince Carl Philip is duke of Värmland, and Princess Leonore is duchess of Gotland.

A noble house is a noble family or clan that is associated with one or more hereditary titles. Noble houses were founded when someone was ennobled and granted a title, and a noble house can branch and wither and split and form new houses over the ages, and it can gain or lose status as its members gain or lose noble titles and ranks.

In medieval times, these family bonds were very strong, and many major conflicts were a result of different houses fighting over various titles, for example the Wars of the Roses was a 32 year long civil war over the throne of England between the House of York and the House of Lancaster.

A royal house is a noble house that holds a title of king or queen, and for members of the royal family, their house name is what they have instead of a normal last name. We don't know which royal house Wilhelm belongs to in the show, but the current royal house of Sweden is the House of Bernadotte, named after the French rando we imported that I wrote about in the last post. Other houses that have been the royal house of Sweden throughout history include the House of Holstein-Gottorp, the House of Oldenburg, and the House of Vasa.

Finally, a regnal name is a name that a reigning monarch chooses for themselves when they ascend the throne, and it consists of one or more of their first names, and a roman numeral ordinal if there have been previous kings or queens with that name. If you're the first of your name to rule over a kingdom, you can choose to call yourself "the first", or you can choose not to.

In the show, Kristina doesn't appear to have an ordinal, but in real life Sweden there was a Queen Kristina who reigned in the middle of the 1600's. (She was probably a lesbian, caused the death of French philosopher René Descartes, abdicated in favour of her cousin, and moved to Rome and converted to Catholicism. As you do.)

In the real world, the king of Sweden reigns under the name Carl XVI Gustaf, because he's the sixteenth (tenth, actually) Karl to have been king of Sweden, and he also picked his second name because he liked it, or because he wanted to stand out from the fifteen other Karls who preceded him. His regnal name is pronounced Carl den sextonde Gustaf - Carl the sixteenth Gustaf.

Putting all of this together, the styles, the names, the titles, and the houses, and we can finally get the full formal names of various royals. Here are examples from some European royal families to demonstrate what it can look like:

HRH Madeleine Thérèse Amelie Josephine, Princess of Sweden, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland, of house Bernadotte.

HH Felix Henrik Valdemar Christian, Prince of Denmark, Count of Monpezat, of house Glücksburg.

HRH Ingrid Alexandra, Princess of Norway, of house Glücksburg.

HRH Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cambridge, of house Windsor.

HRH Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria, Princess of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange, of house Orange-Nassau

HRH Emmanuel Léopold Guillaume François Marie, Prince of Belgium, of house Belgium.

HRH Infanta Sofía de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Ortiz, of house Bourbon.

These names are quite the mouthful, and the full names and styles are only used in very formal settings. Normally, these people are referred to with their highest title, and their chosen first names, i.e. Princess Madeleine, Prince Felix, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Prince William, Princess Catharina-Amalia, Prince Emmanuel, and Infanta Sofía.

We only have the short name of Wilhelm, i.e. Prince Wilhelm, in the show. We don't have his full name, but if it follows form, he would be HRH Wilhelm <Name> <Name> <Name>, Prince of Sweden, Duke of <Province>, of house <House>.

Note that Wilhelm's father is not a king, he's a prince-consort, since Wilhelm's mother is the reigning monarch. The proper styles for his parents would be Her Majesty Queen Kristina (II?), and His Royal Highness Prince Ludvig.

The only other nobles in the show we have full names for is August and Felice, and August's full name would be August <Name?> Horn, Count (or Baron) of Årnäs. Felice's would be just Felice <Name?> Ehrencrona, because her parents are still alive and still hold whatever title they have.

Commoners marrying into a royal family is no longer forbidden or controversial, and all European royal families have had commoners marrying into them in the past few generations.

Based on precedence, if Wilhelm and Simon were to get back together and marry in the future, and if they get the consent of the Queen and the government, the following would happen:

Simon would be offered to be made a prince of Sweden, and with it gain the style of HRH.

Simon would be offered to be made a duke of some province.

If he accepts, he would lose his last name, and go from Simon Eriksson to HRH Simon, Prince of Sweden, Duke of <Province>, or simply Prince Simon.

If he declines, he would stay as Mr. Simon Eriksson.

When/If Wilhelm ascends the throne, he would chose a regnal name, and get an ordinal depending on the number of Wilhelms before him. If he's the first of his name, he would simply be King Wilhelm.

And if he and Simon are married when he ascends, Simon would not become king, he would become a prince-consort, and keep the title of prince.

Note

Are there ever cases where His/Her Highness is used in place of HRH or HSH?

Sure! The example that immediately comes to mind is Norway. Princess Martha Louise has business endeavours that she wanted to be able to explore so she opted to have her HRH downgraded to Her Highness to give her the freedom to explore private business. Now the monarchy in Norway differentiates between the Royal Family and the Royal House. The Royal House is the monarch, consort, heir, his/her consort, and their oldest child. Everyone else is a member of the royal family and can do occasional engagements but they have a lesser title. So Ingrid Alexandra is HRH but her younger brother Sverre Magnus is His Highness.

Other examples are Joachim’s four children in Denmark who are all HH instead of HRH. Only Frederik’s children are known as HRH. Also in the Netherlands they have a similar Royal Family vs Royal House distinction as Norway. It’s broader but it only encompasses Beatrix’s direct line so her nephew Prince Maurits, for example, is HH rather than HRH.

Chapter 20 Sneak Peak

The next chapter is a very long one, and for making you guys wait so long for it, here’s a sneak peak.

Friday, January 30 2015, 7:30am

St. Mary's Hospital, Private Wing

The birds chirped outside Arabella's hospital window along with morning traffic. Harry looked out the window to see an empty road, which wont be empty once the news got out that Arabella was in an accident last night. Her communication's team worked hard all night to produce a press release as well as a post for her social media accounts detailing what had happened which will be released at 8 that morning.

'Half an hour before the chaos starts.' Harry thought to himself. His grandmother and grandfather went back last night after the doctors gave their news with the promise to come back again today once they got their rest. The same goes with his father, brother and sister in law. Willem-Alexander however is in the room next door getting some much needed rest.

Harry on the other hand, for the life of him, can't shut his eye for a second. He did fell asleep for a couple of hours next to Arabella's bed holding her hand but then he woke up at seven with a nightmare that Arabella died. It was safe to say that he couldn’t go back to sleep afterwards.

Willem-Alexander called Maxima after they received the news from the doctors and she is set to fly to London and arrive by lunch time after telling the girls about what had happened.

Jane told Harry that they have informed Arabella's cousins, grandmother, godparents, and best friends about what had happened last night. They also kept them up to date with what's happening. Jane also told Harry that they are adamant of coming to London today, even though a lot of them have countries to run, to see Arabella for themselves.

It kind of opened Harry's eyes a little to see so many people cared for his fiancé. Of course in true Jane fashion, she listed down the people who said that are flying to London to visit Arabella the next few days.

HRH Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands - Princess Arabella's Grandmother

HRH Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands - Princess Arabella's uncle

And of course, that doesn’t include Harry's family and their friends. All in all, Harry feels like the next few days are going to be a long one with a lot of love pouring in for Arabella.

Harry was still looking out the window when he hears a groan from behind him. Spinning so fast, he turned around and rushed to Arabella's bedside and held her hand. Arabella furrowed her eyebrows before groaning some more. She then opened her eyes for a little bit before shutting them again.

Arabella tried to open her eyes for the second time and squinted a little bit because the lights was quite bright. She opened her mouth to say something but realize that her throat is dry.

"Water." She rasped. Quickly Harry pushed the button that pushes her upper body up and brought the glass closer to her mouth. The glass already has a straw connected to it, as do all hospital glasses for the patients and Arabella took a few sips. "Thank you." She said much clearer.

"Hey." She smiled at Harry. "What happened?"

"You were in an accident babe." Harry said smiling while holding her hand. "You had to have surgery. I was so scared I was going to lose you."

"What?" Arabella furrowed her eyebrows? "Aw baby, I'm here now okay?"

"I love you so much, do you know that?" Harry said, holding Arabella's hand close to him.

"Of course I know that, babe. I love you too." Arabella told Harry before pulling him in for a kiss.

Their kiss was not short, nor was it a make out session. It was a kiss that shows how much one loves the other and how much they can't live without the other. Even though Harry could kiss her all day long, he knows that he has to go alert Willem-Alexander that his daughter is awake, as well as the nurses and doctors who, throughout the night, made sure that she was recovering and that there is nothing wrong with her.

Harry reluctantly pulled away. "As much as I love kissing you, I have to go tell your father that you're awake and everybody else."

"My father's here?" Shocked, Arabella said. "When did he arrive?"

"About an hour after the accident. He flew in as soon as he heard what happened. Maxima waited till morning to tell the girls, before flying over. Her flight should arrive before noon." Harry said before pecking her lips once more.

"I'm going to call them now, get everything into motion. Granny and Grandad are coming at nine after breakfast, the news are going to be released about the accident at eight so photographers and well-wishers will start pouring in. Scotland Yard are barricading outside and prepared for the crowds. Will and Kate are coming tonight, they plan to wait until everything calms down a bit. Dad and Camila are coming in the evening and we've informed everybody who is concerned." Harry told Arabella.

"Like who?" Arabella asked, still a little delirious from the anesthesia.

"Your godparents, their children, your best friends, your relatives, and basically every office of a monarch in the world. Not all confirmed to come, but a few get well soon gifts have arrived early this morning." Harry said walking towards the door. "They're all in the other room, the gifts. It’s going to get chaotic around here, you should get some rest while I call the doctors."

With that, Harry left the room and walked to the nurses station on his way to Willem-Alexander's room as well as Arabella's household staff's room.

"Arabella's awake." Harry leaned over the counter a little.

"I'll notify the doctors right away." The nurse smiled before picking up the pager. With a nod, Harry continued on his journey to Willem-Alexander's room.

Knocking a few times, Harry waited for his future father-in-law to answer the door. It's rude to just barge in without being allowed to enter, first rule that Gerrit told Harry during his etiquette refresher. Especially if the person on the other side is a higher rank than you. Once Harry marries Arabella, this rule applies to Kings, Queens and Heads of states only.

"Come in." Willem-Alexander exclaimed after a few moments. Harry took that queue to enter the room.

"Harry my boy, what can I help you with?" Willem-Alexander asked from his seat on the couch. While he was waiting for his daughter to wake up, he was doing some paperwork about his country that was brought over.

"Arabella woke up a few minutes ago." Harry said smiling a bit. Hearing that, Willem-Alexander quickly put the papers he have in his hands on the coffee table infront of him and rise from his seat.

"She's awake? How is she?" Willem-Alexander asked taking long strides towards the door where Harry was currently standing.

"Yeah she's awake. I just informed the nurses to page the doctors and I guess they'll examine her once we're there as well." Harry told the King of the Netherlands.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Willem-Alexander said passing Harry and out the door walking towards Arabella's room in a really fast paced. Harry smiled before following behind him. When he passed the nurses station, he asked them to tell Arabella's staff the good news before following behind Willem-Alexander.

Entering the room, Willem-Alexander took big strides to his daughter's bed and hugged her tightly.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again young lady." Willem-Alexander whispered to Arabella as he hugged her. "I love you so much Dochter."
