: A propos the engagement of Prince Harry of
: Wales and Meghan Markle, I was trying to
: think of examples of US nationals marrying
: members of reigning European houses. (Not
: noble houses - the number is vast.)
:
: I could think of several who have married
: members of formerly reigning houses, but in
: terms of marrying princes or princesses of
: houses which were reigning at the time of
: the marriage, besides the unambiguous US
: born and raised Princess Grace of Monaco, I
: could only think of three cases which all
: have caveats:
:
: Nancy Leeds (Wasn't Prince Christopher in
: exile when he married her, even if King
: Alexander was nominally reigning in Greece?)
:
: Christopher O'Neill (who is a dual UK-US
: citizen born in London, and has, of course,
: not been made a prince by his father-in-law)
:
: Wallis Simpson (Her husband had abdicated in
: order to marry her and she was denied royal
: status)
:
: Are there other examples of born and raised
: Americans marrying members of European
: reigning houses and acquiring royal/pincely
: status? I would be surprised if there are
: not, but I can't think of any at the moment.
