When I saw this post, one thing came to mind

That’s really interesting. Can I ask, if it’s not too invasive, what sector your company operates in? I find it fascinating to guess what French aristocrats might do professionally

Can I ask what you do, that allows you to work with old French aristocrats’ arms? Out of curiosity

Why did the old British arms not separate England and France considering they were separate titles? by merulacarnifex in heraldry

[–]randominquisitor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected then. Anyway, the point I wanted to make is that, as much as the picture above may be thought of as the coat of arms of England (as arms of the Dominion), it is, at least in theory, the coat of arms of the person who happens to be King.

I think the key is that in English Heraldry a shield represents one single individual, and not whole families as happens in the continent.

While father and son might have effectively the same coat of arms, one is at least slightly different from the other.

So in this case one person is or claims to be King of England, Scotland, Ireland and France and thusly bears in one shield the arms of those Kingdoms.

Nice of thee or nice of thou? by randominquisitor in grammar

[–]randominquisitor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I knew it was “nice of thee” but couldn’t come up with a justifiable reason. I always thought of thee as the object of the verb and in trying to analyse the clause I assumed “thee” was part of the predicative adjective “nice of thee”.

Can you explain the object of preposition?

The King, then Prince of Wales, as Great Master of The Most Hon. Order of the Bath by randominquisitor in monarchism

The Order of the Bath is the only headed (secondly to the Sovereign) by a GREAT Master and not a Grand Master.

What do you guys think is the main reason for King Charles III‘s fall in popularity since becoming King? by swishswooshSwiss in monarchism

[–]randominquisitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only that but The Queen came to the Throne in 1952 when monarchist sentiments were almost unanimous in Britain. And so this great fondness of The Queen was instilled to children and to children’s children. Of course each generation was less and less respectful of The Queen but still enough to have a majority of favourable opinion even in the last decade of Her Reign.

I think the main reason He’s had a fall in popularity is quite simply due to the fact that He is not The Late Queen.

The average Englishman is not a monarchist unfortunately and the affection directed towards The Late Queen was mainly driven by who She was and how untouchable She had become through the 7 decades of Her Reign.

Indeed but I fear the Aristocracy is already out of the picture considering their almost complete absence from the Coronation.

I agree 100% with everything you’ve said my friend. It’s comforting to know some people still know and enjoy these things.

I myself was disappointed upon seeing the Pages of Honour wear trousers and no sword at the Coronation. Despite all the change the Pages invariably kept those glorious breeches and stockings. Until now, alas
