Documenting European Monarchies
(Note: the page will re-load after ever toggle, to apply your choice.)
Over the years, some of you have shared your strong feelings about the terms I use. I prefer more well-know, accessible, or plain English terms (Red). Some of you prefer the more formal & correct (Blue). These toggle switches allow you to choose what terminology appears on the site.
King of …
English Translation of the Spanish Title “Infante/a”
Princess of Wales’s Name
As a practice, Gert’s Royals uses the title the royal held at the time of the event being described. (e.g. Prince Charles before his reign, King Charles during reign). For posts cover events before October 30th, 2025, Andrew is usually listed as Prince Andrew. If you do not wish to see Andrew referred to by his old title, you can use this toggle.
References to Andrew before Oct 30th, 2025
For posts related to events after October 30th, 2025, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will always be used. There is no option to change that.
This page only lists posts focused on a specific royal. Royals will be added to this list as we have relevant blog posts. (We will get to everyone eventually.)
Listed by First Name. (For those with the same first name, they are listed by country and then date of birth.)
