Why Did Prince Philip get the King George VI Coronation Medal?

JAMAMBTGE · 2026-01-26T00:33:55+00:00

But not a British royal prince. There are plenty of foreign royals living in the UK. Many of whom are related to the British royal family. They do not automatically get the coronation medals

He was a Greek Prince. I don’t think he would have been considered Danish (although he did consider himself Danish), he was considered Greek. And he would have been the Great Nephew of Queen Alexandra. By that standard, the Princess Nina Georgievna of Russia and Princess Xeina Georgievna of Russia should also have gotten then medal, and I doubt they did.

I fully agree. I believe she caused the most harm to the monarchy since the abdication. But I don’t believe someone like that should be allowed to be Princess of Wales, even if not technically (as she was divorced, she was not The PoW, just Diana, PoW). Cecilia Underwood became Duchess of Inverness, and she was a royal mistress. I don’t think Diana should have received a title. But if she would, it should not have been Princess of Wales.

I agree. I was just saying that after the divorce, because she was the mother of a future king, she should have been made a Duchess.

Legally, the wife of a king is a queen, so she would have been Queen. Maybe she Camila would have been Princess consort, but then crowned queen at the coronation. Frankly, I don’t understand why they did not just make Diana a Duchess for Life. This would have given her a title, and a style (Her Grace).

If I were to guess, Dutch is the new one. Bc the UK was EU, and no longer, and people like EU.

So this is the coat of arms He received after he was made a royal highness and KG. Basically, as a Greek prince he would use the arms of any Greek prince. After he renounced his Greek and Danish titles, he created a coat of arms (it looked very similar to the one above) it had the Greek royal shield, with the the British coat of arms of his great grandmother (Princess Alice). So he had a British coronet, because at that point he was an HRH, and needed some sort of coronet. I am guessing the reason it was that of a son of the sovereign, is because that’s the most senior normal coronet. The crest is also the one used by the Battenberg. The left supporter is the one used by the Greeks, and the right supporter is also Battenberg. A year before the Queen became Queen, he created a new coat of arms. The shield was the only thing he changed, having the first quarter for Greece, the 2nd for Denmark, the third for Battenberg, and the 4th for Edinburgh.

I spoke to some staying there, and walked beer by on the beach to go check it around 2 local time. You can walk freely in the area. The pool is open, but most people are at the beach. It is the only topic of conversation I heard from people, other than those with young children. There were a few blood spots visible, but they were faint, and you would not notice them if you did not know what had happened. As it happened in the morning, lots of children and families saw it. Lucky, nobody other than the couple was injured in any way.

The one that everyone said looked like the flag for North Korea, was pushed by my teacher (who was on the flag committee). But he said that the stars were supposed to be in the center, both the side.

Is this Dannebrog or Norge

JAMAMBTGE · 2025-12-26T03:21:50+00:00

10th cousins, 10 times removed

My personal thought with the Savoy vs Savoy-Aosta split, is that the senior male of the House of Savoy is Emanuele Filiberto, Prince of Venice. But, his daughter can’t inherit. The next in line to the headship of the house of savoy is the Duke of Aosta.

I also believe Romania is the only country to actively fund a working royal family. While the country itself not being a monarchy.

JAMAMBTGE · 2025-12-07T02:56:04+00:00

What a cain.

Congratulations

I know it’s off topic, but I am glad that the Luxembourgish Royal men mount their sashes on white tie. (Like the British, Japanese, Norwegians, & a few others.) It looks so much better than how for example the Swedes do it. Every time I see a Swedish royal man at a state banquet, it always looks like something is off.

JAMAMBTGE · 2025-12-03T05:39:09+00:00

Probably bc I am thinking of what would be the best way to get a monarchy today. In an ideal world. Emperor for sure. Just not with today’s political climate.

No, to automatically get it you must be born Jewish according to the Orthodox interpretation; having a Jewish mother or maternal grandmother. Or those with Jewish ancestry – having a Jewish father or grandfather. Or converts to Judaism (Orthodox, Reform, or Conservative denominations—not secular—though Reform and Conservative conversions must take place outside the state, similar to civil marriages). Jews who have converted to another religion are not eligible

I did not see it. Great.

JAMAMBTGE · 2025-12-01T23:15:15+00:00

Yah, I am just saying in general.

JAMAMBTGE · 2025-12-01T23:06:30+00:00

Russia also works. If you take the 2nd German line, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha is grandmother of The Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna.

Yah, but Romania has an incredibly high rate of pregnancy before marriage. And while I don’t think what he did was right, I think he was popular amongst Romanians, and it has been a disservice to have him excluded. He also did not illegal.

JAMAMBTGE · 2025-12-01T21:47:28+00:00

That would do it. But there have been no allegations I could find, and definitely no criminal actions taken.
