: I think Princess Anne (daughter of the
: current
: monarch) always outranked Princess Margaret
: (daughter of the previous monarch) as did
: Sarah Ferguson and Sophie Rhys-Jones
: (daughters-in-law of the current monarch).
:
: I agree that daughters of the current
: monarch would probably outrank daughters of
: previous monarchs but I'm just not sure
: about the daughters-in-law.Alpha and others
: taught me to understand that precedence in
: the royal family conforms with that of the
: peerage in that the daughters collectively
: have precedence over younger sons (and their
: spouses) which is why,for instance,Elizabeth
: Bowes-Lyon being the youngest daughter of an
: earl was styled 'Lady' before her marriage
: whilst all of her brothers bar the eldest
: were only styled 'Honourable'.I recall that
: this was clarified for us in the recent
: thread about Marie,Duchess Of Edinburgh who
: could not understand that,as the wife of a
: younger son of Queen Victoria,she took
: precedence after all of Victoria's daughters
: as well as the Princess of Wales.
:
:
: Obviously when Queen Maud was present in the
: UK she would take precedence following Queen
: Mary and Queen Alexandra but I get the
: impression that although Queen Maud was
: often in the UK, it was very rarely in an
: official capacity.
:
: Indeed but I was talking about what would
: happen on the occasions when Queen Maud was
: present.Even in her absence her sisters
: Louise,the Princess Royal (until her death
: in 1931) and Princess Victoria (died 1935)
: together with their niece Princess Mary may
: still have enjoyed precedence over the
: Duchess of York,the 'mere' wife of a younger
: son of George V.
:
: According to the Shawcross book (and the
: Vickers book before it), there was
: apparently an element of jealousy from some
: of the older princesses about a commoner
: entering the royal family in such a high
: position.
:
: Quite possibly but then Elizabeth herself
: apparently thought that Lieutenant Philip
: Mountbatten (born Prince Philip of Greece
: & Denmark) was not good enough for her
: elder daughter.

Don't women take their husband's styles and honours ?
Doesn't that envolve Precedence ?
I thought Diana and Fergie outranked Anne as their husbands had precedence over her.
