  • Tke Prince Consort
    130 Tke Prince Consort. 'the modes of the Lord's presence in the consecrated elements, but jt is in the belief of the Presence itself that the danger lies, and in the. materialising of the invisible into creatures visible and tangible. Those who are well acquainted with the articles of accusation charged against the martyrs of the Marian period, will be perfectly well aware that disbelief in Transubstantiation wa& generally the subject of one article, and disbelief in the Real Presence the subject of another. May I say that the Real Presence is the heart and life both of Transubstantiation and Consubstantiation ? It is a doctrine so vital, so fatally operative, that the Church of Rome thought herself justified in burning men for rejecting it, and that saints of all ages and ranks considered it to be dishonouring to their Master, and preferred to die rather than give their tacit consent to it. But whatever estimate may be formed of the doctrine, one thing is certain, it is neither primitive nor apostolic. It was not the doctrine of the Primitive ages; it was not the doctrine of the Apostles ; it was not the doctrine of the Incarnate God, in whom dwelt, all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

  • Queen Victoria Transcript
    Queen Victoria Transcript Date: Tuesday, 20 September 2016 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 20 September 2016 Queen Victoria Professor Vernon Bogdanor FBA CBE Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first of a series of six lectures on British sovereigns since Queen Victoria, and it will conclude next summer with a lecture on the Queen. My aim in these lectures is to try to answer two questions: the first is how our system of constitutional monarchy has evolved since the 19th Century; and the second is what is the role of constitutional monarchy in a modern democratic state. This first lecture is on Queen Victoria, but first, I have a confession to make because I fear I cannot possibly compete with the television series, which seems to have transfixed the nation, and soon we will know every detail of the Queen’s private life in the early years of her reign, but I cannot help feeling that the television series is not really about Victoria, Queen of England and Empress of India, but about an entirely different character – Victoria, the telly star – and indeed, I sometimes felt as if I had intruded upon an episode of Downton Abbey by mistake! I suspect that Queen Victoria would have responded to the series by using words often attributed to her, but which she never in fact used, the words being “We are not amused.” But whether that is right or not, I fear there will be nothing in this lecture on the Queen’s love life, about which I know nothing. Instead, I will concentrate on a theme which I am sure you will all find much more exciting, namely, the constitution! In June 1837, a young girl of 18 was woken at Kensington Palace and told by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chamberlain that her uncle, William IV, was dead and that she was to be Queen of Britain, or England as the Victorians used to call it, ignoring the susceptibilities of the Scots, Welsh and Irish.

The greatest event in the memory of this generation, the most stupendous change COWES,in existing conditions that could possibly* be imagined, took place quietly, almost gently, upon the eve of the anniversary of the death of the Queen's father, the Duke of The end of this career, never equaled by any woman 'in the world's history, came in a simply furnished room in Osborne House. This most respected of women, living or dead, lay in a great four-posted bed and made a shrunken atom whose aged face and figure were a cruel mockery of the fair girl who in1837 began to rule over England. Around her were gathered almost every descendant of her line. Well within view of her dying eyes there hung a portrait of the Prince Consort. It was he who designed the room and every part of the castle. In scarcely audible words the white-haired Bishop, of Winchester prayed beside her as he had often prayed with his sovereign, for he was her, chaplain at Windsor. With bowed heads the imperious ruler of the German empire and the man who is now King of Eng- land, the woman who has succeeded to the title of Queen, the Princes and Princesses and those of less than royal designation, listened to the Bishop's prayer.

  • The Royal House of Denmark 2008 Summary the 2008 Annual Report for the Royal House of Denmark Is the Fifth Since 2004
    Annual report | The Royal House of Denmark 2008 Summary The 2008 annual report for the Royal House of Denmark is the fifth since 2004. Reflecting the Court’s desire to keep the public informed, the report describes the duties and functions of the Danish Monarchy, key events during the year, and selected themes relating to The Royal Family. The themes in this year’s report spotlight The Royal Family’s work to promote Danish industry and culture internationally, the New Year levees, and the tradition of inscribing signatures on the windows of Fredensborg Palace. During 2008 members of The Royal Family undertook numerous official visits abroad, spearhead- ing industrial and cultural campaigns focused on Denmark, or helping to raise awareness of humanitarian organisations for which they are patrons. The Queen and The Prince Consort performed two state visits, one early in 2008 to Mexico, and one late in the year to Tanzania. At home in Denmark, The Royal Family made three summer cruises by the Royal Yacht Dannebrog, two with The Queen and The Prince Consort on board, the third with The Crown Prince and The Crown Princess accompanied by their children Prince Christian and Princess Isabella. The major family event in 2008 was the occasion of the wedding of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie on 24th May. The ceremony, which took place in Møgeltønder Church, was followed at close hand by several thousand people, including some 500 representatives of the Danish and international press. A private celebration was held afterwards in Schackenborg Castle. In spring 2008 a new three-year agreement was established between the Court and the Association of Court Employees.

    On the Descent of John Owen Dominis, Prince Consort of Queen Liliuokalani Dr. Ante Kovacevic FOREWORD Before my first trip to the Hawaiian Islands in 1966, I read James Michener's Hawaii. Besides my enjoyment in reading Michener's masterpiece, I was particularly interested in the name of Queen Liliuokalani's husband, John Owen Dominis, because it seemed to me that he might be a countryman of mine, as the name is typical of Dalmatia, a province of the republic of Croatia in Yugoslavia, along the eastern Adriatic coast. I was very much surprised as I had never read or heard anything about that name in connection with the Hawaiian Islands. Meanwhile I received a letter from a friend of mine, who knew that I intended to make that trip, asking me whether I knew that Mark Anthony Dominis, the great theologian, physicist and mathematician of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was a king of Hawaii. I answered that the first western man to see the Hawaiian Islands was the great English explorer and navigator Captain James Cook, who discovered them in 1778, and that Mark Anthony Dominis was not a man who would have kept quiet about anything that important. This was the first of many fantastic and impossible stories which I read or heard about and which I will return to later on. I became enthused with the Hawaiian people and Hawaiian scenery, with the lush vegetation and unique climate, so I started to read about Hawaii and Hawaiian history. While reading, I noticed that two men, carriers of a Dalmatian name, Captain John Dominis and his son, John Owen Dominis, played a significant role in Hawaiian history, but that very little was known about the descent of these men, and the information available seemed to be erroneously recorded.

  • Heir of the Month: the First Year (2013-2014)
    Heir of the Month: The First Year (2013-2014) www.heirstothethrone-project.net The First Year HEIR OF THE MONTH Preface A research grant awarded by the AHRC has enabled a small team of researchers at the University of St Andrews to explore the roles played by the men and women destined, one day, to inherit a crown in the workings of Europe’s monarchies in the course of the Long Nineteenth Century. In addition to the researchers directly supported by the AHRC-grant, other historians with cognate interests are actively contributing to the work of the “Heirs to the Throne Project”. They help us to generate a lively, energetic atmosphere and to reach out to as many interested audiences as we can. We are delighted to provide more information about their work on our website. One of our on-going activities in this respect is the regular Heir of the Month feature: a monthly biographically-focused essay, published online, written to appeal to wide readership with interests in historical issues, especially the history of 19th-century monarchy. Each essay draws on the current research pursued by the author, but we aim to present our findings in an accessible, thought-provoking and lively fashion. October 2014 marks a first milestone for this part of our project: we have completed a full year in our “Heir of the Month” series. In order to make these essays more easily accessible, we have collated them in the shape of a first “Royal Annual”. We hope that “our” heirs – some of them sadly forgotten – will meet with renewed interest and afford our readers both enjoyment and food for thought.
