AlwaysShocked said:Is there anyone who can explain the English titles to me? I understand that Paul was knighted by the Queen and that he is now "Sir Paul".
I did not realize that Heather was entitled to be called "Lady" because of that. Does she lose that right once she is no longer married to him?
Are these honorary titles like Paul, Elton John and Elizabeth Taylor got anything that gets passed down to children or do they just belong to the person to whom they are granted, and when they die the title is gone?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can clear this up for me.
Elizabeth Taylor doesn't have a title, does she? You have to be English to get one, right???
I'm not sure about the rights to titles once they divorce, but its tricky. Prince Phillip can't be King Phillp just because he married Queen Elizabeth, because then he would "out rank" her.
We've got some Brits here. Maybe they can help us out.
