Meeting Royalty in Europe

But SFAIK, most of them (nowadays) have a reasonably good education.

Most of them have an average education. The qualities required to
become a billionaire starting out from nothing often having nothing to
do with education, and are not even that highly correlated with
intelligence (although more typical levels of success show higher
correlations with both).

My princess friend knows that people are interested in royalty. What
would she say about these posts? I don't know for sure but I think she
would think it's funny that no one believed me. She's smart enough to
understand all of this. She might be mad that I'm spending too much
time here.

Why don't you pick up the phone and ask her, instead of speculating, and
then report back to us?

I just received the following email back from my princess friend:

Robert,
Hello! I'm fine. Mum and Dad are away. I'm glad you emailed.
You have been making friends on the internet? I don't care what you
say but please don't use my name and do not refer to my country in a
public forum. As you know my family is quite sensitive to that.
When are you coming to visit? December 19 to January 5 is not so good
coz we have parties and such. You can sleep in my room this time.
Sorry about the last time. The work is finished.
I have to go. Take care.

Love,
XXXX

Some of the rudest, most self centered people I have ever met have
been the very rich (particulary the ones who inherited thier money).
They are the ones who hold disdain for people not of thier "class".
They are the ones who treat everyone else like thier servants. And
even worse were those individuals who weren't rich but trying
deperately to fit in the jet set circles.

I have met royals and very rich people. Some I liked, some I didn't.
Some liked me, some didn't. Contrary to thier own belief, they are
people like everyone else.

Now I'm sure you and your friend are very nice. I'm not saying that
others where not rude to you in another post, but I think your lesson
in manners is misplaced.

Just my opinion.

Emilia

I was talking about royals and most successful business people, not
heirs.

So was I. I just said that the heirs are even WORSE.





Most royals are nice because as someone here said "It's their
job". That's they way they grow up. Business people (the successful
ones)are nice because people are way more likely to do business with
you if you're nice. Not a pushover mind you. Just genuine respect and
fairness.

Would you drink a pint of Corgi **** to meet with the Queen alone for
a half an hour hour? Seriously. Lots of people would.

Some people are definitely very different from me!

If she marries an heir to the throne, she becomes queen when he becomes
king, as I recall. In fact, I think she also becomes queen if she
marries a king, but I'm not sure. I know that the rule does not apply
in reverse, which is why the queen of England is still married to a
prince (a "prince consort").


There are many princes and princesses who will never be kings or queens.
("many" being a relative term). Even if they marry and are not in line to
be queen a princess remains a princess.
Not always. It's more complicated than so. Rules may vary from country to
country but it's not unlikely a prince/princess with a marriage to a
non-royal person is denied hes/her title. Marriage to a king is usually
the same as being a queeen but the term "morganatic marriage" exist where
the wife remains an ordinary civil person and eventually children are
excluded from the throne.

Yes, of course, and their are some who don't "officially" have titles any
more but people continue to refer to them as prince/princess, etc. But my
point is that not all princes/princesses move on to become king/queen or
lose their title.

It happens to lots of men now and again, Robert. It's really not something
to worry about at your age. Just try to relax and it will be fine.
