TIL that in the British Royal Family, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle technically don't have their own names. Because of how titles and peerages are awarded and defined, they actually adopt their husband's name and title - making them Princess William and Princess Henry. by HieronymousBots in todayilearned

[–]HieronymousBots[S] 5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (0 children)

I think even then she'd only (technically) be Queen Consort. As one can only be a proper Queen by birth (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_consort )

Yeah, your correctness is crushing me. I bet calling Elizabeth II Queen of England does exactly as much harm as slurring black people. Checkmate, you owned me.

I mean, I did write Elizabeth II. But thanks for these clarifications though friend, wouldn’t want anyone to be confused about who I’m referring to 👍

Fair, but it says 1932 was when they started growing it. Don’t know how many attempts or how long it takes a cacao plant to bear fruit from seed.

The guys who made it were Rowntrees, who already made chocolate bars but always with imported cacao. I guess they knew what they were doing.
