My dearest Vicountess, I'm afraid I must correct you on one thing. The husband of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert was not King Consort, but Prince Consort. Only the husband of Mary Queen of Scots was styled King Consort.
Husband of Mary I was too, Philip of Spain
@@04nbod Phillip wasn't King consort, but King(Joint with his wife) of England and Spain
Parliament made it that Phillips title ended with the death of his wife. He was in earnest a King Consort.
@@adamross1596Correct! The right term is King jure uxoris (by the right of his wife) of England.
This poor woman must be treated horribly by the vile English Establishment. Abolish the embarrassing and redundant royal family!
Prince Albert was never called King Consort. He only was granted Prince Consort after many years of HM Queen Victoria asking for it from Parliment.
You are so full of historical information! I love it when you put out this type of information!♥️
Thank you!
That was precise, brief, and to the point. Thank you for the knowledge without wasting anyone's time.
You're so welcome!
Honestly, I’d love parts 2, 3, etc of this. You explain things in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
American English, how glorious the sound is…
@@AmericanViscountess dear Viscountess Hinchingbrooke, I do wish to know one thing. Why was Queen Elizabeth II not Princess of Wales before she became Queen, but King Charles III was Prince of Wales before he became King
I'm orignally from Sandwich Ma named after the Earl of Sandwich. It's a pretty little town on Cape Cod. Yes the police cars say Sandwich police on them and all the tourists laugh and take pictures of them! Anyhow, I enjoy your videos! RIP to Queen Elizabeth also!!!
The Sandwich, MA motto is the same as Julie's family's, "After so many shipwrecks, a haven".
Sandwich Police, I love it! Is there an Earl of Donut as well? ;)
I think this is what I enjoyed the most about growing up in the midAtlantic region of the US (which is similar to New England) is all the territories and towns named after places back in England. Yes, we were a colony and we learn all about it, but when you see all the commonalities you really understand how those who came over from England influenced the earliest US settlements to make it feel like home. I grew up in the Philadelphia area and you can't throw a rock without hitting a reference to somewhere (or someone) in the UK.
When I lived in Sommerville, MA, I visited the Cape and on the way through Sandwich, MA there was a police car outside the Dunkin' Donuts which said "Sandwich Police" Ha, ha, ha!
Prince Albert never got King Consort lol, he was simply known as Albert, Prince Consort lol.
Been a year with this correction, and no response. But the sycophants get replies. How telling.
@@XandrdCI know right 😂 that’s how most content creators are, don’t respond to honesty which they mistake for negativity.
Dear Viscountess Hinchingbrook, thank you for making us American girls proud of you as a representative of us, love your channel and your super cute apartment in Italy❤️
Thank you so much!
Agree, thank you for being such an excellent representative of American women! Xx
You don’t know how much I needed and appreciate this well-presented vlog.
Madam you're a breath of fresh air,it's wonderful to learn about history and peerage system thank you for sharing with us.
Wow, thank you
Thank you, Viscountess. I am an American who is writing a fictional monarchy, and your explanation of the titles is helping me so much.
I truly appreciate you, so much more, for absolutely embracing all you have, being grateful for it and making it 💯% yours and so much better! Thank you for being such a remarkable lady! 🌸🌿💕
This was a great video. You explained it simply. Of course its WAY more complicated when you consider widows, styles, forms of address, formal styles, and historical/extinct titles and ranks(i.e. Ealdorman). Then there is also the title "Prince of Wales" and court titles like Lord High Constable, Lord High Chamberlain, Lord High Admiral etc.
Thank you for the video. I lived in Devizes Castle for 7 years. It was a great privilege.
Glad you enjoyed it
Please make a video about baronets cause it was interesting since they were in between nobility and knighthood which is kinda confusing since where are they really in both groups nobility or knighthood and also what are their roles when James I created it and can they be passed down through generations and what also please make a video about curtesy types
I was going to mention the same thing. They are basically hereditary knights and can use Sir in front of their name. For example, some of my own ancestors were the Baronets Colclough of Tintern. You can see that they used the family name and place in their title (much like a baron) sometimes; most of the time it would be just Sir X Colclough, Y’th Baronet
Informative, short and sweet and covered everything, I always find your vlogs fascinating, Julie. I look forward to many more!
So glad!
Hi Julie, loved watching you on Ladies of London and so happy that you are doing so much royal history, British history etc. My favourite topics with a favourite person! So happy I found this! xx
Oh thank you!
Thanks, Julie, for explaining all about the monarch titles, etc. So interesting and nice to know. Janice from Arkansas USA
Thank you for explaining how it all works - love the background setting of your video too:-) but is it possible please to turn down the volume of the background music? Just found it a little distracting as I was trying to concentrate on the great information being given. xx
Yes of course!
Wow, she must have lowered it, bcz i didnt even notice it and had to go back to listen again. Sounds great.
I LOVE learning about this kind of thing!
Short but very informative. Thank you.
I know the history of the titles but it was interesting to hear when and who the first Earl of Sandwich got his title. I would also state that Albert was known as Prince consort to Queen Victoria.
Hi and yes all fascinating. He was known as that publicly but wanted to be King Consort and from what I'm told he was known as that in his inner circles.
Thanks so much for this vlog! Fascinating and so well done!💛💐🙋♀️
Glad you enjoyed it
Another fantastic video Julie! I am at school with Nestor and I am very grateful that he introduced me to your channel. Also you should ask him about his future career in boxing.
Thanks Henry! I'll be sure to mention boxing to him now! :-)
Thanks for taking the time to explain all the titles ❤😍😘
You explained it so beautifully .
Thanks a lot 😊
Hi from USA, VA. I love learning now and history!
Hi Julie. Enjoyed your show on English estates and this video. Subbed.
Thanks for subbing!
Just wondering: Does anybody in the family ever visit the town of Sandwich? That might make a fun video, going to see what if anything is there associated with the family, and see how locals react. Everybody has heard of the food, but few people ever mention the town. (For comparison, I read once that after Prince William was named Duke of Cambridge, it took him awhile, like 1-2 years, before he actually paid a visit to the city!)
The mistake many people make is to think the name of a title automatically means a relationship with the place of that name. Quite often the origins of the title might, during the days when the aristocracy actually ad power and influence over ruling the country, have implied a territorial responsibility for a given area, or that the family originated or had property in said area, but over the centuries as nobility were stripped of governing power, and properties were sold, families died out or moved around, the links were broken. Hence half the Scottish aristocracy are often born, live and educated in England, or never visit the places they are titled after. Long gone, for example are the days when upon being appointed Prince of Wales, the kings eldest son would actually be dispatched to govern Wales in the name of the king.
Julie it is very good explanation about the titles.
Very interesting and clearly unpacked. Thank you.
Very interesting and difficult to keep track of. I do however believe that Queen Victoria gave her husband the title of Prince Consort and not King Consort once she was crowned Queen.
17 years after she was made Queen, he became Prince Consort but prior to that he and she wanted him to be King Consort
Thank you for a very understandable explanation. I’ve heard titles explained before but your video made a lot more sense.
/thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoyed listen and watching this. I found it exceptionally interesting! Thanks so much!!!❤😊❤
I love you! Thanks for the video! Anglophile in Florida!
After watching the Queen's Funeral, I wondered if you could explain all of the "guards". Why does one guard have a green feather, another a red, etc. Some wear kilts, some are Beefeaters. I was interested in the Officers that marched beside the hearse. If you could recommend a website or book about this it would be helpful. Thank you!
Will looks into doing a vlog on this! thanks!
You may want to check out Mark Felton's channel for the military stuff
@@mattheww2797 thank you, it’s a great site.
love your new style of dressing.
very regal 🏆👍🇬🇧
I've been totally fascinated by all of this ever since my first visit to England in 1976. I have a question - I always understood that Queen Victoria wanted Albert to be called King Consort but that Parliament refused to allow that title. You video says to the contrary. Wikipedia seems to back up the position that Albert was denied this title and was given instead the title of Prince Consort in 1857. What is correct here? I love your channels and enjoy each new video very much.
It’s what he wanted to be known as.
@@AmericanViscountess Yes, that's what I've always understood. Maybe if he'd lived long enough Parliament would have given in.
Why does it matter what he wanted to be known as or what he went by in private? Officially he was Prince Consort. It's confusing and historically inaccurate to suggest that the regnant queen's spouse is the king consort.
I STUMBLED UPON YOUR CHANNEL AND AM INLOVE ALREADY! thank you for sharing, viscountess
You are so welcome!
Julie, Very well done.
Bravo 👏
Thank you! 😃
I just found your channel this morning. Thank you for the content, and greetings from the NW suburbs.
Welcome!
Thank you, Julie,
Very simply put, Thank you Julie. Very much appreciated.
You are so welcome!
I'm intrigued by Baronets. Apparently some view them peers while others don't?
I can help you here.... ruclips.net/video/dQpVqNyrsBI/видео.html
This is very interesting. Thank you for explaining!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m confused: are you an American citizen or dual citizenship? Because I believe the constitution forbids titles of nobility unless with congressional consent. I am just curious.
Fascinating history lesson, Julie!
Answered some confusing head-spinning questions for this girl from the Midwest, USA! Lol!
Thanks much🥰
Glad it was helpful!
such a fascinating family history
Fascinating, thankyou for explaining this, I always wondered how these titles were bestowed
Thanks for explaining the titles
Very informative Julie. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Very informative.
This was delightful. Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice, very understanding.
been looking for this and it appears on my yt rec. thanks for the explanation 😀
Glad I could help!
Awesome and very much appreciated. Thanks you
Thank you Julie for explaining British titles which can be complicated. I was fortunate to have met Princess Alexandra of Kent when I worked in London in the 1970's. To meet an actual Princess for an American like me was amazing! Hope to meet you someday also!
🥰🙏🏻🥰
Thank you sincerely for this, it was insightfully.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Clear and concise.
What with the coronation of King Charles III likely to take place next year, please consider an upcoming video explaining the roles your father-in-law, The Earl of Sandwich, and your husband, Viscount Hinchingbrook will play on that important day.
Just love you and your videos. Thank- you!!!
You are so welcome!
Great explanation!! Thanks!!💫
Glad it was helpful!
Love your amazing channel! ❤️👍🇺🇸
Thanks so much
As an American Anglophile in SC, I find your channels to be always fascinating. I have learned much and I greatly appreciate the quality of the content, visuals, and sound of your videos (vlogs). They are exceptionally well done. Today the blue dress you are wearing is so striking and you look wonderful in it. Thanks for all the sharing, the knowledge, the enthusiasm, and the laughter.
I always get confused after Duke and earl. That’s really nice that your father in law is in the House of Lords.
If you’re a Hapsburg you can have a lot of titles. Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary had so many titles I can’t name them all.
Fascinating 👏🏻👏🏻
Very well explained.
Our Kumar Family hails from a special royal heritage from India.
The literal meaning of Kumar is "Prince" and Kumari is "Princess".
These were shortened, or truncated, from Rajkumar & Rajkumari respectively.
Although I am from a 3rd generation descendant of my Paternal Grandfather living in the United States,
we always have had an extraordinary sense of pride for our unique lineage.
In India, there were Maharajas and Shahs, who were the kings of various kingdoms.
My Paternal Grandfather was the Diwan of Gangpur Kingdom
which was a medium-sized kingdom in pre-independent India.
A Diwan can also have overlapping role comparisons with a Royal Vizier.
So, my Paternal Grandfather's position at the Gangpur Palace, called Kishore Mahal, was a
Minister in rank right below the Maharaja, or King of Gangpur.
We, including my Dear Wife, Radha Kumari Devi, our two Dear Children,
Sanjay Arman Kumar II
Sanjana Shafali Shaharazade
are very proud that we have our own separate
Diwan Coat of Arms & Crest, and to be descendants of the
Diwan of Gangpur
Dr. Sanjay Kumar I
& The Entire
Diwan of Gangpur Family
Do you have a toilet of your own
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thanks for watching!
With the change in the Line of Succession putting Princess Charlotte 3rd in line now, is there any chance title structures may chance, allowing the Royal Princesses to inherit a Dukedom?
that's up to the king. such stuff is written into the letter patent and for example the title Duke of Marlborough went to a woman as second holder and then to her sister's son.
Charles could create his sister Anne as duchess marchioness countess whatever in her own right, no problem. same with Charlotte upon her marriage (the usual timestamp to receive a title in royal family)
not impossible because the queen of duc of nomandy.
Thank you!
Thankyou so much American Viscountess Julie for explaining the titles I now can explain to my family I find the Royal and aristocracy just fascinating 😍👌Have a fabulous weekend my love I’d love to know about who to curtesy to💖💖👌👌🌟🌟
Good idea for my next vlog!
@@AmericanViscountess Thankyou for considering I just love all the history grazie mille 💖👌
Great I would love to learn more about the royal titles
Fascinating! Thank you!😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much Viscountess, it has been very interesting and in a few minutes you taught us in an easy way the British titles. I really wish your fellow American who is married to Prince Harry had your respect for the British Monarchy.
Julie! Prince Albert was "The Prince Consort" same with Prince George of Denmark, consort of Queen Anne
Yes he was but he wanted King Consort and was referred to that in the inner circles.
Not the same. George of Denmark was a prince consort, but Victoria's husband was the only time there was an official Prince Consort.
@@melodyclark1944 Its the same thing. One has capital letters to soothe his wounded ego thats all.. shrug..
Very interesting 😊
Thank you🎉I like your videos 🎉
Thank you
I see the lapel mic on the Vicountess, but in editing it appears that the sound source chosen is the camera microphone.
Love your video , it was very clear and you explained the content of the video very well.. Very interesting. I learnt something too , had no idea it was the first Earl Sandwich who brought King Charles second back to the throne of England. Thank you .,
I have a few questions? What about Lords and Ladys or would it be Lordship and Ladieship titles? Who gets them? How are they appointed and where do they rank in the title and or hierarchy of nobility? Does that also include knights and dames? Where do they rank in the hierarchy of things? If you could please let me know or rather do a new segment of these titles on you show? If at all possible? I thank you most kindly and do appreciate it.
Here you area, twenty plus years as a Viscountess, and still learning about heraldry and titles and nobility. Yet, Duchess Meghan had less than three years to try to grasp the enormity of British aristocracy and was “bashed” in the press when she made mistakes. As an American, you know that we aren’t taught these topics. I looked at my son’s history books, when he was in high school in 2010-2011, and there was less than a page explaining topics such as heraldry. Thank you for taking the time to teach those of us who want to know more and learn bewt via videos.
thank you
Correction here... children of princesses are not given any princely titles.
This was excellent. This was very educational. 🤔 Hmmmmm who can I test. 😄 By the way love your blue dress. 💙
Thank you! 🤗
I’ve just come across with this interesting channel. Are you related to HRH Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester? As she was from the House of Montagu as well.
Hi Julie, good explanation, congratulations on making it so short and au point! Sorry to note, but shouldn't you mean Countsess of Wessex instead of Essex? Waiting for next episode, as always! Regards from Portugal 🙂
There’s also a Countess of Essex who was an American 🥰
@@AmericanViscountessoh so sorry, didn't know, must research the Countess of Essex and learn a bit more! So sorry, she was next to other royal titles, just assume it could be just one letter short... 😅 Thank you for explaining to me! See you in your next episode!
@@AmericanViscountess That sent me down quite the rabbit hole! The current Earl is 78, unmarried with no heir and after him, the title will go to his fourth cousin once removed who is American.
@@mariadocarmogodinho7661 A Countess is a member of the Nobility, not of The Royal Family.
I’m distantly related to your husband I’m a descendant of William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury
Fantastic
More, more, more. ❤❤😁😁
I love these shorter videos
Don’t forget Baronets ! The only noble heriditary title that is not a peerage - ranked above all knights (except thistle and garter) and below all peers
Baronets are part of the baronetage an honour that is all it’s own !
Wow so confusing. Glad you explained it.
I love your channel! Being a Lexington, Kentucky native, I probably got my fascination with the British royal family, titles, and so on when the Queen, God rest her soul, made visits to our fair countryside to visit her racehorses. I’d love to hear more about titles and what each means. For example, what resources and responsibilities come with a title?
Will do a vlog on that soon!
@@AmericanViscountess I would love that. Thank you.
Doing research for a historical fiction novel and one of my characters is the second son of a Victorian-era noble. What would be a high enough title for the father to have that his second son basically working as a manager for an American magician to be a minor scandal like…more gossiped about, but not do any damage to the family’s reputation? Thanks.
Lady Hinchingbrooke, its been brought to my attention that here in America , if your surname ( maiden name) is a locational name from England then its likely you are related to someone who held a title. Being a history buff and a very very curious person , I must know if my Maiden name Barnstable has anything to do with a previous Earl? My Great Aunt believed it did as she did some ancestry research however she passed away before we sat down and got into the details and her children now have all of that research and I do not speak much with them. I am not sure how to go about researching my family history past my grandparents? I would love some advice?
The official title for Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria was 'Prince Consort', not 'King Consort'.
What does a title actually look like? Is it a collection of documents or is it a legal name change?
Thank you for this lovely video. However, there are a few inaccuracies:
First, Prince Albert was Prince Consort, not King Consort. The title "King Consort" does not exist in Britain, as far as I'm aware. In fact, Albert was awarded the title "Prince Consort" 17 years into his marriage to Queen Victoria. Before this, he simply held the title that he was born with, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, with the additional style of Royal Highness that he was given a few days prior to his wedding.
Second, although there is currently an extant Earldom of Essex and therefore probably a Countess of Essex, as you listed the titles of the British Royal family at the beginning of the video, I assume you meant the Countess of Wessex?
Third, considering the titles of a monarch's grandchildren in the female line, using the title of Prince/Princess is *not* optional. Descendants in the female line do not have the right to hold that title, according to the current rules in the UK. Children of British princesses always hold the title of their father - if he has any. As it became more common for royals to marry commoners, men that married a princess but did not hold a title of their own where often offered a hereditary peerage by the monarch. The last man to accept such an offer was Anthony Armstrong-Jones, husband to Princess Margaret, who was created Earl of Snowdon following his wedding. Hence, their children are styled as the children of an Earl. The same offer was made to Mark Phillips when he married Princess Anne, but they declined. Therefore, their two children Peter and Zara do not hold any titles and simply use their fathers surname. The only case in which a female line descendant could hold a Prince/ss title would be if the monarch specifically gave that title to them. :)
From my research, before he was titles Prince Consort he was known as King Consort as that is the title he wanted. The Countess of Essex is an example used - she was an American Heiress and I'm doing research on her. And yes, it is optional - Princess Anne had the option (if granted by The Queen) to use these titles for her 2 children. :-)
