Welcome to my sandbox! I've got a bunch of little random projects I'm currently working on here, so have fun taking a little look!
Rewrite for Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother[edit]
Elizabeth was born with the style of "The Honourable Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon" as the granddaughter of the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, but gained the style of "Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon" when her father succeeded to the earldom in 1904.[1] Upon her marriage to Prince Albert in 1923, Elizabeth assumed the style of "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of York".[citation needed]
When Albert succeeded to the British throne as King George VI, Elizabeth became queen consort and was styled "Her Majesty The Queen" for the duration of her husband's reign.[citation needed] Upon his death, she assumed the style of "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother" to avoid confusion with her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.[citation needed]

Upon his marriage in 1934, his father granted him the title Duke of Kent, a title he held until his death with the style of "His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent"[2].

From birth, Marina was styled "Her Royal Highness Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark" as a male-line granddaughter of George I of Greece[citation needed]. She continued to use it as a title in pretense until her marriage to Prince George, Duke of Kent in 1934 [citation needed].
After her wedding, she became known as "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent" [citation needed]. After her husband's death, she continued to use the title until her son's marriage in 1961, when she began being known as "Her Royal Highness Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent" [citation needed].
