I'm Almost Royal AMA

[AlmostAMinorRoyal]

In line to the throne, but not by several hundred thousand so not worth googling.

I have interesting dress sense.

AMA.

Even if you married a Chatto you'd still be a commoner.

How many generations back are you to a King or Queen?
e.g. Edward VII or Queen Victoria or are we talking a great many times grandparent before that?

Do you present a TV programme?

This is just a normal person!!!! 😂😂😂

Yes, I still shop in Tesco although I have a friend whose butler does that sort of thing for her.

No, I don't have a corgi.

OP, I’m sure you went to an incredibly posh school but I don’t think they prepared you for Mumsnet. People want to know exactly how close to royalty you are, and what title someone 4 generations ago had.

So far you’ve told us you live in a big house and shop at tesco.

You live in a big house and shop at Tesco
I live in a big house and shop at Waitrose, so I must be even more royal

My DM is listed in Burke's Peerage (which I suppose, by default, means I am too). I went to the village state school and now live in a very ordinary 3 bedroom house and shop at Aldi. AMA! Or maybe don't!

AMA. but I won't answer. I'll try again. What is your net worth?

This has the most pathetic one of these AMA threads

It's rather nonU to discuss money.

There's an Edward in there.

So you're probably less nearly Royal than alot of people on MN. How boring.

Omg!!! What a disappointment

Are you an artist?

I went to college with someone with a title. I only realised because I saw her passport. She was well spoken but unkempt and mad as a box of frogs. Her father was aristocracy but she would never have considered herself almost royal. I think a lot of MN could probably find a title within a few generations.

So not even vaguely almost a minor royal. How disappointing. Pointless.

One of my friend's father was a Lord (title passed on to her brother) you wouldn't know (other then her being very well spoken) she doesn't live in a big house, her brother inherited everything and they are not in contact anymore.

If you’re Lady Colin Campbell you’re latest book is ugly.

I was at a hunt meet once and thanks was given to the hostess of the meet Lady Xxx. I turned to my friend and asked if she knew who the hostess was as I hadn’t heard the name before, and she said ‘oh, it’s me, silly!’ I’d never heard her called Lady Xxx, I just know her as Susan. My other friend who has a hereditary title doesn’t go on about it either. A lady who came to buy a horse off me once did though. She’d married a minor royal and used that fact to try and haggle me right down in price. I told her to clear off.

It's definitely Kirsty Alsopp

@clionba my boss lives in Knightsbridge and shops at Harrods. She must be the queen, by this OP's logic.

Catkin DH is in Burkes too. We haven't seen a copy in years so I don't know if me & the dc are but I think probably not.

Have you met Liz and Phil?

@nervousnails
@AornisHades you are actually minor royalty!
