#monogram of the monarch

BRF Reading - 222nd of February, 2024

This is speculation only

Cards pulled on the 22nd of February, 2024

Question: Why hasn't Prince William updated the coronet on his monogram? (he is still using the one for a grandson of the monarch, not the one for the son of the monarch or the Prince of Wales feathers)

Interpretation: He misses his grandmother too much to get rid of this last link to her rule

Card One: The World

This is a card of ending a cycle, of moving into a new phase in your life with no way back to the old life. Prince William has done this, he has moved from the grandson of the Queen to the Prince of Wales. The energy of this card is of sadness, of not wanting to let go of the past phase of life and not being ready to let go of it. It's an energy of soft grief and not wanting to give up something that reminds him of a person for whom he cared very deeply.

I asked the question "Is this energy to do with the late Queen?" and drew the Hierophant card. The Hierophant card represents the BRF, and the late Queen was the head of the BRF, the monarch. It is also the card for Taurus, and the late Queen was a Taurus sun sign. So I am taking the card as a yes, Prince William's reluctance to change his cornet is due to his attachment to the late Queen.

Card Two: The Knight of Cups

The energy of this card is not of a person, but of an attitude or situation. Knights are action cards, and the Knight of Cups is the second slowest Knight in the deck. It is a very romantic energy and a very emotional energy. It is someone who makes decisions with the heart, not the head, and someone who is offering you their cup of love. It can be an apology card, but I'm not getting an apology energy here. Instead I am getting the same energy of attachment and missing his grandmother that I got with the first card. I feel that Prince William knows that he is being illogical, but he feels that if he changes to the Prince of Wales feathers then he is somehow removing his grandmother from his life, and he is not ready to do that, so he is clinging to these last signs of her presence. I get the feeling that he will change, eventually, he just needs a bit more time before doing so.

Card Three: The Seven of Pentacles

This is my card of having a divided allegiance, and that energy is coming through strongly here. Prince William is loyal to his father The King, there is no doubt about that, but he is not quite ready to relegate his grandmother to history, so at the moment he has an allegiance to both of them. Because of that he is clinging to the last symbols of her reign, as they help him to hold on to her. If he changed over the symbols right now, I think he would feel disloyal to his grandmother, however silly that sounds. It is part of his grieving process, I feel.

i think that in time, he will be ready to put the coronet aside and take up the feathers of the Prince of Wales, and he will certainly do it if e.g. his father asks him to make the change, but at the moment he is hanging on to his old allegiance for as long as he can. As I have said above, he is just not quite ready to let go of her and be reminded of his loss every time he sees the feathers above his monogram.

Underlying Energy: The Six of Swords

This is a card of transition, of moving on, of leaving something behind. This is where Prince William is at right now. He is slowly moving on from the grief of losing his grandmother, and he is slowly adopting the symbols of his new rank. Swords are logic, and logically he knows he should adopt the symbol of his new rank, but his heart is not ready to do so. The Six of Swords can symbolise the sadness of leaving behind things to which you are attached, and that is exactly the energy I am getting from the card. Prince William is very sad about giving up the symbols of his grandmother's reign, but he will do so. He will move on into the smoother waters and brighter future shown ahead of the boat on the card, and then he will adopt the Prince of Wales feathers for his monogram. Just not yet. He is not quite ready to do this - he still has some more of the journey to go first.

Conclusion

Prince William has not put the Prince of Wales feathers over his monogram because he is not ready to do this. He is not ready to give up the symbol of his grandmother's reign. He misses her a lot, he still feels allegiance towards her, and he is not ready to replace her symbol and in effect consign her to the history books. He wants the things she gave him to stay around him a bit longer.

He knows he is acting emotionally and not logically, but he just can't bring himself to give up the coronet that ties him to her as her grandson, and replace it with the Prince of Wales feathers that have always represented his father to him. He feels like this would be being disloyal to her, even as his mind tells him he is being silly. In this case, he is going with his heart for the decision.

He will be able to do this in the future. He is moving to wards the time when he will replace the coronet, but it is not just yet. He is still in the process of transitioning from one reign to another in his emotions.

Note: I can understand this so much. I was exactly the same after my parents died. I could not bear to give up anything that they had given me, even an old label that had my name in their handwriting. Eventually I could move on, but even now, many years later, I have things that I don't want to give up because they make me feel closer to my parents.

What’s that elephant the Danes are wearing?

Tatler’s guide to the emblems and quirks of Denmark’s highest honour, the Order of the Elephant.

A curious little diamond-encrusted elephant, a blue sash, a gold collar – and sometimes a big flaming cape…Tatler looks into the history and tradition of Denmark's most privileged Order.

With Frederik X set to become sovereign of the Order as he becomes King on Sunday, you might see a few of these elephants around Copenhagen's royal palaces

By Isaac Zamet

12 January 2024

When Crown Prince Frederik becomes Frederik X of Denmark on Sunday, he will also replace his mother, Queen Margrethe II, as the sovereign of Denmark’s most ancient and distinguished order of chivalry, the Order of the Elephant.

Though it was officially refounded in 1693, the order dates all the way back to the 1400s, when it was established as a religious confraternity by a group of about fifty Danish knights.

In the 1400s, prior to the Reformation which gripped Europe and divided the church, such religious ‘clubs’ as the Order of the Elephant were common features of aristocratic life.

At the time of the Order of the Elephant's birth, Christian I was King of Denmark – and in fact, Norway and Sweden too, creating a personal union known as the Kalmar Union.

During this period, the emblem of the club was an image of the Virgin Mary holding her Son within a crescent moon.

This was hung from a collar formed of links in the shape of elephants.

The confraternity mutated over the centuries but endured a stifled period after the Reformation in which such clubs became suspect.

In 1580, Frederik II – eight Frederiks prior to our current Frederik – revived the order and replaced the medallion of the mother and child with an elephant (a Reformation-safe, Protestant approach – if a quirky one!).

But it was Christian V, in 1693, who gave the club its official statues and founding order.

At this time, it was scheduled as comprising 30 noble knights and one Grand Master (the King) along with his sons.

It was only in 1958 that the statutes were amended by Royal Ordinance to allow the ennoblement of women as members of the order.

Between 1580 and today, around 890 persons have been bestowed with the Order of the Elephant; with Queen Margrethe adding 68 people during her 40 year reign.

The recipients are almost always royal persons and foreign heads of state – though in a rare exception, the order was given to a commoner in 2000.

This was the deceased shipping magnate, Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller, who was recognised for exceptional contribution to Danish economic strength and Danish society.

Those unfamiliar with the man himself will surely recognise his name from the famous shipping containers.

The A.P. Møller – Mærsk group was actually founded in 1904 by his father. It is now worth $81bn dollars.

At the time of Møller’s membership of the order, he was the only non-royal and non-head of state to hold the honour; though it had previously been held by the pioneering nuclear physicist, Niels Bohr.

Membership of the order comes with possession of its rather eye-catching elephantine emblem.

The elephant is made of white-enamelled gold with blue housings and is about 5cm high.

On its back, the elephant bears a tower of pink enamelled masonry (a design originally intended to reflect the howdah compartments of the Indian subcontinent).

A number of large cut diamonds adorn the elephant, along with a crowned monogram of the monarch reigning when it was made.

One wonders, then, when the first Frederikian elephants will be carved.

At the top of the tower on the elephant’s back sits a gold ring, from which the badge can be hung from the collar or tied to a sash.

On the elephant's back sits a turbaned ‘moor mahout.’

It should be noted that some would regard such a depiction as an exoticising caricature.

Others would regard its appearance merely as an expression of an historical perspective.

One striking detail about the circulation of the elephants is that each Order of the Elephant is – in principle – on loan and must be returned to the Chapter of the Royal Orders of Chivalry when a member of the Order has passed away.

This rather quaint custom means that elephants are inherited and used several times by different members of the order, with some dating back hundreds of years.

Interestingly, the done thing is not to disclose to whom an Elephant has previously been given – though there are some traditional lines of inheritance.

For example, the elephant recently bestowed on Prince Christian belonged previously to his grandfather, Prince Henrik.

This handing over was always to be, on the basis of a traditional line of inheritance.

There are two exceptional elephants which have eluded the rule of the ‘loan’ – one remains in the Chancellery Museum at Paris and a second remains on display at the Dwight Eisenhower Presidential Library in the US.

Another beautiful quirk of membership of the Order is that a member’s coat of arms is always painted and subsequently hung in the Knight’s Chapel at Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød.

As to when the elephants come out to play, there are some rather interesting traditions concerning how and when to wear them.

The Order of the Elephant has three festival days: new year’s day, the monarch’s birthday, and the birthday of Valdemar the Victorious, which, if you didn’t know is on June 28.

On these festival days, the Order of the Elephant is worn on the chest on a gold chain link collar, with links shaped as towers and elephants.

The collar sits on each shoulder. On other important occasions, the order is worn on a bright blue sash with a breast star.

The star of the order is an eight-pointed silver star with smooth rays; at its centre sits an enameled red disc with a white cross, surrounded by a laurel wreath in silver.

The first letters have been franked with the new cypher of The King in the Court Post Office at Buckingham Palace today. 📫 The cypher is the Monarch’s monogram, consisting of the initial of their name combined with an ‘R’ for Rex (Latin for King) or Regina (Latin for Queen). The first franking stamp incorporating the Royal cypher dates to 1901, introduced by Edward VII, who was instrumental in setting up the Court Post Offices in Buckingham Palace. The cypher was introduced at a time when the Monarch was seen by very few people, to create identity.

Unsussexful royal grifting from the past by u/granitebuckeyes

Unsussexful royal grifting from the past I was reading about George III’s brother, Prince Henry, The Duke of Cumberland and Strathearn. There I saw that a woman, Olivia Serres, falsely claimed to be his daughter. There were some parallels to our beloved saint. Changing stories — Olivia originally claimed to be an illegitimate child, but later changed her story and claimed to be the product of a secret marriage to a princess of Poland-Lithuania. Our saint can’t seem to keep her lies consistent. Disregarding family — Her original claim was that her aunt was actually her mother. When she decided being a royal bastard wasn’t good enough, she claimed her family wasn’t her family at all. Our saint constantly puts out stories claiming they want reconciliation, but it’s never with the Black or poor White family members. Just the royals. The others are useless and she has basically disowned them. Money, money, money — She wrote to George IV saying that George III was giving her an annual income. She later claimed she was made Duchess of Lancaster by George III, and therefore deserved all of the income from the Duchy of Lancaster — the duchy that provides income for the monarch personally. Our saint’s devotees regularly suggest she deserves money from the Duchy of Cornwall. Royally obsessed — from the analysis section on Wikipedia — “Serres' pretensions have been called the result of an absurd vanity. Between 1807 and 1815 she had made the acquaintance of some members of the Royal family. From this time onward, she is claimed to have been obsessed with the idea of raising herself, at all costs, to their social level. The tale once invented, she brooded so continuously over it that she may have ended by believing it herself.” Our saint seems to have targeted royal-adjacent people to get into royal circles. Titles — Olivia started calling herself a princess and eventually a duchess. Our saint monogrammed her title (really, her curtesy title derived from her husband’s actual title) rather than her name on her purse. She claimed her children didn’t get titles because she was mixed race. She claimed her kids wouldn’t get protection because they lacked titles. https://ift.tt/acOig2R a fun aside, the Duke of Cumberland and Strathearn’s marriage to a previously-married commoner the king didn’t like is why royals had to start getting permission to get married. post link: https://ift.tt/lYaTbBS author: granitebuckeyes submitted: December 01, 2023 at 07:18PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

[sablegear0]

If England ever has a nonbinary monarch (assuming they don’t abolish the monarchy first, fingers crossed), they’re going to have to change all the royal monogrammed stuff from “HRH” to “TRH” and for some reason that’s quite funny to me.

what: royal family orders

The Royal Family Order is an order awarded by the sovereign of a monarchy to female members of the royal family, as female members of the royal family typically do not wear the commemorative medals that men wear. The order is more of a personal memento rather than a state decoration although it can be worn during state occasions. The only way to know who the order has been given to is to see the recipient wearing it. The same practice is in place in the United Kingdom as is in the royal families of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Tonga. 

Source: wikipedia.

Royal Family Orders have been used by the monarch’s of Mecklenburg since the first king, Heinrich Ludwig I, established the practice in 1921. The Order is issued to female members of the family, or collaterals (such as cousins or in-laws). Since 2006, the Order is now issued to male members of the family.

The ribbon’s colour changes with each monarch and is only issued during the life of each monarch. There is only one class of the royal family order. Each order is a miniature portrait with the monarch’s monogram on the back, surrounded by diamonds, suspended from a coloured ribbon. Female wearers wear the ribbon as a badge, while male wearers wear the ribbon as a medal.

[engbergeurovacay23]

Wow, what a day we had. It is 11:00 p.m. and Cece has just gone to bed and Rowan will follow soon after. We have to do a load of laundry tonight already because we got incredibly sweaty and walked over 10 miles throughout the day in about 100° heat! Yes, it is just as sweltering in Madrid as it was in Albuquerque.

This morning I woke up at 9:00 but the other three in the family slept longer. But throughout the day, we all did quite well with jet lag, never feeling too terribly exhausted. Last night, all of us did have a patch of sleeplessness overnight. My own lasted maybe an hour and was more of a "twilight sleep" situation where I couldn't quite fall back to sleep but thankfully finally did. In all, I'd say I had a pretty good night of sleep.

Once we had breakfast and got out of the apartment, we walked to the Plaza de España and there, there is a playground. By that time it was already pretty hot out, but the kids did get some playtime in, though unfortunately Rowan slipped and landed on his rib cage on a metal sort of balancing tube. He was a bit low-energy for an hour or so after that . . . but he did bounce back.

From there we walked through a beautiful park that was of a higher altitude than the rest of the city, near something called the Templo de Dobod (which was closed, but is apparently an ancient Egyptian temple that was a gift from the Egyptian government in the 1960s), but we paused to take some photos at the overlooks and got some beautiful views. We did a bit more walking before our 2:45 to tickets to see the Royal Palace (Palacio Real de Madrid). One of the places we walked to was the Mercado de SanMiguel, which my friend Dani recommended. It was so amazing -- but it was also amazingly hot. I mean, all of Madrid was sweltering today, but inside the mercado, there was little air circulation, even though it was open on the sides, and there were misters going, but it was very crowded, and well, hot hot hot. So, we did walk from there to a restaurant that had a lovely shaded dining area outside on a plaza (as many places do), and we ate there-- El Federal, on the Plaza de las Comendadoras. The kids had "fluffy banana pancakes" with mascapone and hazelnut crumble, the part of the pancake meal of which Cece did not partake. I had an amazing noodle salad with grilled halloumi.

After lunch -- when were were fed and somewhat cooled off and a bit rested-- we went to the Palacio Real. So, we got in a long line because it appeared that those who had tickets and those who didn't needed to be in the same line. Foolish us. By the time we got close to the front, we could see that, indeed, those with pre-purchased tickets (us) could move slightly to the left and go right on in. Oh. My. Word. We'd baked outside for no reason.

Anyway, the palace was really a thing to behold. However, perhaps if you've seen one opulent monarchic relic, you've seen 'em all. Well, maybe not "'em all" -- but there was a lot of silk, monogrammed wallpaper, silver serving pieces, impressive dining rooms and bedrooms and antechambers, gold-gilded everything, thrones, porcelain, marble halls . . . etc. I think it might just leave an imprint in the children's minds and I did explain how it is that, historically, monarchies amassed such wealth. I won't go into the numerous tragedies that accompany imperial legacies here in this blog, but you know what I mean.

Soooo, by the time we finished with the palace, we popped over to El Corte Ingles, a huge Spanish department store that I have visited once before. I really have a thing for European department stores' food halls, so we headed there, on the lower level. It really was a food hall that had it all. We went to the kids' clothing floor after that but, at the mid-afternoon point, we really needed a bit of downtime, so we walked back to the Airbnb and had a few-hour break, during which time I talked to my parents and Rowan finished a book and Eric napped and Cece drew. Then, I realized that the Reina Sofia museum is open late on Mondays! Until 9 p.m.! Our lucky day! Even luckier was that it was free on Monday nights! So, we mustered, used the Metro via the metrocard our friend Laura gave to us, and made it to the Reina Sofia with an hour and a half to view the works. I would love to dedicate a whole post to it! The most famous work there is Picasso's Guernica (which is HUGE), but there were Le Corbusier drawings, Salvador Dali paintings, political propaganda posters, Alexander Calder sculptures, Miro paintings, and so much -- there was even a contemporary art consideration of the theories of philosophers Deleuze and Guattari, whose work I've read in my time. I didn't even have time to deeply study what was going on in those pieces. The Reina Sofia is huge and we really only scratched the surface.

OK -- now you probably have guessed that by this time, we were running on low fuel ;) You're right. Even though we had some food at home, we did stop and eat dinner at a restaurant and I picked a pretty amazing and hole-in-the-wall-ish place that was a great fit, made even more entertaining by a group of two Scottish couples who sat behind us and absolutely did not need more booze, though they had some, and a very drunk Spanish elder with a super-duper deep voice, who immediately fell in love with our children. It was called La Vera. After we ate and laughed our way through a late dinner at La Vera, we walked back to the Airbnb -- and heard a huge amount of cheering en route, when we discovered that a crowd had amassed because The Weeknd was arriving to his hotel. It was quite a scene.

More tomorrow! Time, clearly, for bed!

What we know of Oz: Book 5, An Emerald City party

Let’s continue now that we arrived in the Emerald City.

# As it turns out the Lion and Tiger were also sent by Ozma to help our weary travelers reach the city faster: they pull with ropes around their body a splendid golden chariot (the cords are also golden), with a body decorated on the outside with designs in clusters of sparkling emeralds, while the inside is lined with green and gold satin, with seat cushions of green plush embroidered in gold with a crown over an Oz monogram. This chariot is none other than Ozma’s personal royal chariot. And there is a brief callback of Dorothy actually belonging to the Ozite nobility since Ozma made her a Princess.

# We get a new description of the wonders and beauties of the Emerald City, described with graceful and handsome buildings covered in plate of golds and set with emeralds ; with sidewalks of superb marble slabs polished as smooth as glass, and curbs separating the walks from the broad streets set thick with clustered emeralds. [Every time the city gets described, it seems to get a bit wealthier, as we started out with the plain white city, then a regular city with lots of emeralds, and now a city made entirely of the most precious materials]. The citizens of the City itself are also described as all wearing “handsome garnments of silk or satin or velvet with beautiful jewels, all happy and smiling, all free from care, with music and laughter everywhere. (Comparing this sight to the one of the farmer in their little farms by the side of the road… Yeah, sure Nick, there’s “no poor and no rich” in Oz, sure…)

# In fact we get again a new comment about the society of Oz by Nick Chopper, who explains that unlike the appearances, the citizens of the Emerald City do work, because after all a city needs to be kept and fruit and vegetables need to be provided – but no one in the city works “more than half his time”, and the people of Oz in general are said to “enjoy their labors as much as they do their play”. People have commented that Oz seemed a lot like a socialist utopia – if not downright a communist utopia at times. And it is true that you have this very bizarre mix of communist ideals (a society where the common people is happy and has decent live conditions, while everyone works and everyone shares and the community provides for each other) and monarchic structures (there’s a nobility and hereditary rulers, there’s different social classes with still low and upper people, there’s a whole climbing the social ladder thing going on…).

# We meet again Jellia Jamb (because apparently she is the ONLY maid in the friggin’ castle was never see or hear from any other) – she is this time described as having “dark hair and eyes”, and her green clothes are embroidered with silver. It is also said that Jellia Jamb is actually Ozma’s favorite attendant. Jellia also mentions that the Scarecrow went to the Munchkin Country to get fresh straw for his body (implying the best straw comes from the East ; or that all the straw of Oz comes from the East). [Correction: latter the Scarecrow mentions his body has the “loveliest oat-straw of all Oz”, so indeed it is a case of Munchkin straw being the best – he also mentions he got his face freshly painted by the Munchkin farmer that first made him because his colors were dulling into grey]

# We are given a detailed description of the room the Shaggy Man is invited to sleep in. A handsome apartment where the furniture is upholstered in cloth of gold, with the royal crown embroidered upon it in scarlet ; a rug so thick and soft on the marble floor you can’t hear your footsteps ; the walls covered in splendid tapestries woven with scenes from the Land of Oz ; books and ornaments scattered in profusion ; in a corner a tinkling fountain of perfumed water ; in another a table bearing a golden tray loaded with freshly gathered fruits. But this is just the living room! There is also a bedroom with a bedstead of gold set with brilliant diamonds, and a coverlet with designs of pearls and rubies. There’s also a dainty dressing-room with closets filled of fresh clothing ; and a larg bathroom with a marble pool big enough to swim in, and edges set with rows of fine emeralds as large as door-knobs. There is also a special mother-of-pearl chest decorated with silver vines and flowers of rubies, specifically offered for him, with engraved the words “The Shaggy Man: His box of ornaments” and inside things such as a fine golden watch, handsome finger-rings, and ornaments of rubies to pin on the chest.

He also finds clothes fitting him perfectly (a regular thing to have when you are guest of the palace), though due to him being the Shaggy Man, everything he wears looks shaggy too: a coat of rose-colored velvet, trimmed with shagged and bobtails, with buttons of blood-red rubies and golden shags around the edges ; a vest of shaggy satin of a delicate cream color ; knee-breeches of rose velvet trimmed like the coat ; shaggy creamy stockings of silk, and shaggy slippers of rose leather with ruby buckles.

Dorothy and Button-Bright also have an outfit change, her in a “pretty gown of soft grey embroidered with silver”, him in a “blue-and-gold suit of satin”. Even Toto gets a green ribbon around his neck.

# Instead of giving us a description of Ozma, Baum prefers to say that the royal historians of Oz, despite being fine writers with a big lexicon, always failed to describe the “rare beauty” of Ozma and her bewitching face, because words are not “good enough”, but it is enough to say that her loveliness “puts to shame all the sparkling jewels and magnificent luxury” surrounding her, and everything beautiful or dainty falls to dullness when compared to her ; plus anyone seen her can only feel love and affection due to her being so sweet and attractive.

As it turns out, the bizarre event that kickstarted the book, Dorothy and Toto getting lost on mysterious roads that weren’t here a minute before, and her wandering in a magically changing landscape until she arrived in fairy-lands, was actually Ozma’s doing: it was her way to send an “invitation” to Dorothy for her birthday. I would like to personally point out that 1, we never know HOW she did that, given Ozma is not a magical person herself, though she might have used the Magic Belt, but she never actually says anything of the sort, and 2, this is a very dubious and dangerous way to invite someone to Oz, especially since she forced Dorothy to go through a lot of dangerous territories. Ozma herself admits that, monitoring her friends’ progress through the Magic Picture, she almost used twice the Magic Belt to rescue her, once with the cannibalistic tribe of Scoodlers (see another post), the second time when they tried to cross the Deadly Desert.

# The Wizard is still here, as a “dried-up, little old man, clothed all in black” with a cheery face and twinkling eyes – but still known as the “most famous humbug wizard”. The Shaggy Man is then presented to Ozma and we learn something very interesting about the Pond of Truth: the side-effect of bathing in its waters is that you are then forced to forever tell the truth, and you can’t say anymore lies. As a result when Ozma asks him about how he got ownership of the Love Magnet, he has to reveal the truth, that he stole the magical item because he wanted to be loved. Ozma notes that in Oz it is not correct or a custom to have someone being loved by magic, as she says “in Oz we are loved for ourselves alone, and for our kindness to one another, and for our good deeds” – subtly forcing the Shaggy Man to abandon the Love Magnet, which she promptly takes ownership of to place over the gates of the Emerald City, so that “whoever shall enter or leave the gates may be loved and loving”. [Note: given the actual powers of the Love Magnet, this… seems quite a bit dubious, but more when I’ll actually tackle the Magnet].

# And then we come to the celebration with all the guests. The Scarecrow riding on the Sawhorse, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger ; Jack Pumpkinhead (who brings as a gift a necklace of pumpkin-seeds with in each seed a “sparkling carolite”, the “rarest and most beautiful gem that exists”). Follows Glinda the Good, an “important Sorceress” described as a “tall, beautiful woman clothed in a splendid trailing gown, trimmed with exquisite lace as fine as cobweb”. Then the Woggle-Bug (of his full title Mr. H. M. Woggle-Bug, T. E. (who just composed a new Ode in honor of Ozma’s birthday) ; then Billina the Yellow Hen with her numerous little chicks, her wearing a pearl necklace, and each chick having a tiny gold chain on their neck with the letter D (because Billina named all of her children “Dorothy”) ; then Tik-Tok.

And then is the whole crossover procession I talked to you about, all of the characters from the other fairy-countries around Oz : King Dough ruler of Hiland and Noland, with Chick the Cherub and Para Bruin ; Ryls from the Happy Valley ; Knooks from the Forest of Burzee ; Santa Claus who leads the Ryls and Knooks ; the Queen of Merryland with her Candy Man ; then the Braided Man (from Dorothy’s underground adventures in Book 4) ; then the Queen of Ev, with King Evardo and the other Princes and Princesses of Ev ; then King Renard of Foxville ; the queen Zixi of Ix, King Bud of Noland with his Princess Fluff… And other guests are mentioned by name but not seen arriving (because already these arrivals took two entire chapters): King Kika-bray of Dunkiton, Johnny Dooit, and the Good Witch of the North.

# The great feast has two tables, one for human (or humanoid) entities, and one for animals ; and there is also a third for other creatures such as the Ryls, Knooks, wooden soldiers, etc… There is an orchestra of five-hundred pieces from a balcony overlooking the banquet room ; and everyone is served in crystal goblets a “nectar famous in Oz and nicer than soda-water or lemonade” called “lacasa”. The Woggle-Bug reads his “Ode to Ozma”, the Wizard does some magic tricks such as having a big pie appearing, and when opening it his eight little piglets come out dancing.

# The following day, is organized a grand procession through the city (now that the communist comparison was drawn, I can’t help but think of the military parades of Russia, China, North Korea, etc…). The procession begins with a thousand young girls (only the prettiest in the land) dressed in white muslin with green sashes, green hair ribbons, and bearing great baskets of red roses that they scatter around them. Then comes the “Rulers of the Four Kingdoms of Oz” : we find back what Dorothy described as the “four Kings” in Book 4, though here we see each of these sub-rulers have a different title. The Winkie ruler is an “Emperor”, the Munchkin ruler is a “Monarch”, the Quadlings ruler is a “King” and the Gillikin ruler is a “Sovereign”, and each of them is said to wear a long chain of emeralds around their neck to show that they are vassals of the Ruler of the Emerald City (hum… a chain makes a bit this whole thing slave-like, no?). Follows the Emerald City Cornet Band (a NEW band again? That’s three if we count the other bands present in the previous books), dressed in green-and-gold uniforms, playing the “Ozma Two-Step”. Follows the Royal Army of Oz, the twenty-seven officers ; then Princess Ozma herself, with the Blue Bear Rug of Old Dyna (as it turns out somehow he became one of Ozma’s favorite subjects behind the scenes…) ; follows the Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger ; and then follows the foreign guests of the party. After that comes Dorothy and the Scarecrow, Polychrome and Button-Bright, the Shaggy Man, Tik-Tok, the Wizard of Oz, the Woggle-Bug and Jack Pumpkinhead, then Glinda and the Good Witch of the North, and finally Billina with her chicken.

BUT IT IS NOT OVER! There’s still the Tin Band of the Emperor of the Winkies, playing the march “There’s no Plate like Tin” (Haha, Oz joke), then all the servants of the Royal Palace. And behind them all the people of the city are invited to join. AND NOW IT IS OVER.

# The rest of the celebration is a show to delight the guests, in a pavilion of green silk and cloth of gold erected outside of the Emerald City. The Wizard, now a Master of Ceremonies, performs juggling tricks with balls and lighted candles. The Scarecrow does a sword-swallowing act, and the Tin Woodman has a “Swinging the Axe” act where he makes his axe whirl around him to rapidly the eye can’t follow the blade. Glinda the Sorceress also takes part in the show, as she uses her magic to make a big tree grow in the middle of the pavillon, with blossoms appearing on the tree and becoming delicious fruits “called tamornas”, so many of them that everyone in the crowd can eat its fill. And after Glinda, it is the turn of the Good Witch of the North to perform a magic act. And here is something very interesting…

You see, her magic trick is one of transformation. She transforms ten stones into birds, then into lambs, then into little girls, who “give a pretty dance”, and then she turns them back into stones. Why is this interesting? Well if you are an Oz fan you remember Book 2, where Glinda was quite strict and clear on transformative magic – as she explains, she herself would never dabble in transformations because it is a dishonest and deceitful magic that is only practiced by wicked witches… such as Mombi. As a result, it is very bizarre to see that the Good Witch of the North uses transformation as if it was some usual fun. Of course, it is very possible that Baum simply forgot that, as we know he was never quite strict and consistent in his magic system – and we will never knew more because it is the second and last time the Good Witch of the North actually appears in the Oz books written by Baum.

The show ends with Johnny Dooit building a flying machine on stage and using it to leave the party, thanking everyone for the invitation. This marks the time of departure for the guests – and while we never learn how they actually arrived in Oz, we see that to leave they use a wonderful invention of the Wizard: a machine able to make human-sized soap bubbles, strong enough to actually carry people in them through the air (apparently he just needs to put a super-glue that dries when in contact with air to solidify the bubbles). And so with these giant bubbles of iridescent hues, he provides a transportation for all the guests to return home. Everyone goes home with those bubbles, except Dorothy and Toto who are a bit too afraid of this flying technique and prefer to be sent home by the Magic Belt.

- - - - -

Yep, as it turns out, the "flying in a bubble" idea wasn't invented by the MGM movie : it was already written by Baum in his Oz books. That's not something many people know.

The first letters have been franked with the new cypher of The King at the Court Post Office printer at Buckingham Palace. 📮

The cypher is the Monarch’s monogram, consisting of the initial of their name combined with an ‘R’ for Rex (Latin for King) or Regina (Latin for Queen). Although the information contained is always the same, the designs vary slightly depending on taste, historic and heraldic accuracy.

About Harry's losing prince title reading

Hello CC! Thanks for the reading!

From what you read, is the losing of the Prince title being a consequence of an action he does (like attacking again the royal family) done in the public arena that forces Charles to act or is sth that has been planned but they are just waiting for the right moment? If the latter I can understand why as there was a major shift in the monarchy and the consolidation of Charles as monarch is more of a priority than dealing with Harry.

My next question  would be: will the stripping of the princely titles affect the Sussex children as well? It would be weird letting them have the titles while their dad, who they got the title from, is stripped + they don’t live in the UK and don’t know nothing about the British culture

I’ve been thinking about what else can be taken from Harry and there are different options to reduce his status to Duke, but I don’t know if actually possible as I’m not well versed into heraldic rules etc. The King could also remove the Victorian order from H (it’s the medal he usually wears around the neck and the star badge) + forbidding him to use symbols that depicts his status as son of the monarch like the crown on his monogram (he would then be forced to use the duke crown like the aristocratic ones) and change his coat of arms to mirror his duke status. For this latter option I don’t know if it’s possible or not as his current coat of arms derives from his dad’s and mirrors his status as son of the king (not officially updated yet)

Another thing Charles could do is officially removing Meghan’s coat of arms. After what she did she really doesn’t deserve to keep that present from the late Queen + the use of the royal monogram

What’s your thoughts?

Thank you in advance 😘

Hi Nonny,

I think it is a bit of both. I think the BRF have planned for removing Harry’s titles, but it is a last resort action, and the question then becomes does Harry’s actions call for that last resort to be implemented? So far the answer has been No, but you never know what he will do in the future that may change that No to a Yes. I didn’t get a ‘done deal’ feeling from the energy of the reading, so I think this is something that they are still discussing, not something that they are ready to announce.

Stripping Harry of his Prince title will mean that he is Harry, The Duke of Sussex, not HRH The Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. Meghan takes her titles from him so she would keep The Duchess of Sussex title and lose the Princess Henry title. The children received their titles from being the male line grandchildren of the King so AFAIK they would keep their titles in this situation, unless their parents refused the titles on behalf of the children (like Lady Louise, who is technically HRH Princess Louise, but Edward and Sophie decided that she would be styled as the daughter of an Earl (now the daughter of a Duke) rather than as a Princess).  

Anyone who knows any differently, feel free to let me know. :)

I don’t think Orders of Chivalry can be removed for anything less than confirmed treason, so Harry has his Victorian Order for life. I could be wrong about this.

If Harry is entitled to a certain crown above his monogram etc then the only thing the BRF can do is say that he is not allowed to use it, and we have seen how well he follows that order with his HRH.

A coat of arms, once given, can not be taken away except for cases of treason AFAIK, and in that case the coat of arms is usually marked with a sign of dishonour (again, AFAIK).

Taking away the monograms etc would look like petty behaviour on behalf of the BRF and feed into Meghan’s victim narrative. 

What I am hoping is that both Harry and his children are legally removed from the Line of Succession, and I am hoping that this is the hinted-at bombshell that is coming in the Northern Hemisphere Spring. Once that happens, they can be stripped of the HRH Prince/Princess titles as they are no longer in the Line of Succession, and revert to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their children, the Earl of Dumbarton and Lady Lili - or Archie and Lili Mountbatten Windsor if the parents do not want to use the courtesy titles for their children.
