I bet even now, Grace Kelly is better known than Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand Grimaldi III, Prince of Monaco.
That’s upstaging achieved in a grand style — even achieved posthumously…

You obviously do not understand British culture . Markle seems to have the same mindset. |

I remember reading or hearing somewhere that Monaco's Prince Rainier didn't like Grace Kelly's (his wife) acting and Hollywood career referred to after their marriage. Perhaps royalty don't like being upstaged by professionals... They weren’t upstaged. Exactly, before she led Harry round by his cock allegedly she was an actress in sleezy soft Porn Movies, she will use him until she gets what she wants gets bored then move on to some other idiot IMHO |

The Royal Family lost its second only superstar monarch when Elizabeth II died. Philip, like Albert, was a fitting consort. Charles is a shadow of, and a flawed and observably less intelligent person than, his mum — hemmed in though she was by the expectations, and establishment fossils, of a bygone era. It seems that the Princess Royal has absorbed much of her mother’s sense of duty as she takes over so many ‘Royal duties’ that would normally be undertaken by the King and Queen. William, now in middle age, hasn’t so far impressed as a future monarch material. But 40-year old Harry has left his mark on many ex-service peoples lives. What other living Royal has so positively and noticeably impacted others? I like Harry. I have been amused by his reported antics. I believe it would be a positive if he could once again be attracted back into the fold of the UK promotion team… I agree with you on our late Queen, and yes Phil the Greek was indeed a great Consort no nonsense he said what he thought . Princess Anne is a very strong willed Woman and says it as she sees it, yes she took over more and more Duties when the late Queens health started to fail so did some of the other Royals, Andrew and Harry no , Harry was off a gone even if he did come back he will never inherit the Throne he is fifth in line As for King Charles he was the first member of the Royal Family to obtain a degree at University, traditionally the Royals were usually tutored at home. The next in line is Prince William he flew 150 Rescue Missions during his stint with Air Sea Rescue I like him After William is Prince George, Princess Charlotte, then Prince Louis |

I liked the queen, I don't like Charles very much and the thought of him being replaced by William in a few years will I think do very little for the future of the monarchy in this country. Harry was without a doubt a huge favourite as far the public were concerned, but he has made so many mistakes. If he came back to the UK on his own I think his reputation could possibly be salvaged. The worst thing he ever did was getting mixed up with Markle. But as far as she is concerned, it put her on a global stage, it made her. She is an attention seeker who must always be the centre of attention which is why she hates it in this country, she knows if she and Harry came back to this country she would always be playing second fiddle, and for queen Meghan that would never do. I haven’t time for big ears and if you think Markle a mistake we now have a pantomime ugly sister as queen Feel sorry for Harry who lost his mother at a young age forced in to walking behind her coffin,still it stopped anyone shouting abuse at big ears. The fact he finds the Spencer family more his tells me all I need to know,William has duty stamped on him and again my opinion held his nose and carried on. I really know little about Markle and what I do know comes from the press and they’re always fair aren’t they? |

I suggest that for you, it's not a question of understanding British culture, but just understanding...

Thank you for your understanding in this manner — I can guess how difficult that might be for you...

Your OP but not your thread . I guess that might be difficult for you to understand . Just as difficult as British culture , it seems . |

I believe it would be a positive if he could once again be attracted back into the fold of the UK promotion team… If Liz was the "second ... superstar monarch", who was the first? Until the 17th century, at least, they had no choice but to be superstars. Where's the evidence that Chuckles is less intelligent than his mother? Liz only showed her intelligence by keeping her trap shut, an important skill, but not one for which you need to spend much time in the library. And as for William not having impressed you - good! Quiet and steady are the core skills for the job. He needs to get around, be affable, meet and greet, smile and wave - the "stardom" is the job. So he takes it seriously, he'll impress. |

My ranking of superstar among British monarchs is based on the PP judgement of the impact they had on their realms and populations.
So on second thoughts, I'd also rate Victoria as a superstar monarch, with perhaps (noting PdeB's observation) Henry VIII and Elizabeth I as runners-up.
Perhaps there's still time for Charles III to gain similar acclamation to his mother, but so far the only notable records attached to his positions are, at 73, he was the longest serving Prince of Wales and the oldest ever British monarch to ascend to the throne.
As for intelligence, it's easy to notice the alert attention of one person and weigh it up against the struggle another has to understand...

The problem with the monarchy the siblings of future King and Queens become jealous, Princess Margaret was the same with Queens, Prince Andrew was the same with Prince Charles, and Harry with William. One of Harry's big gripes is he was treated differently than William when they grew up, which has left some sort of mental scaring, the same with any family if a sibling is treated more favourably than another, however I think William and Kate fully realise this problem, hence they visibly make sure all their children are treated equally, and I imagine they have made this clear with staff, and I think both Charlotte and Louis will have major royal roles and will not be made to feel like a spare. IMO Harry is jealous of William as William is the next inline to inherit the Throne, due to younger children born into the Royal family Harry is now fifth in line he will never be King |
