  • Guidance on the Use of Royal Arms, Names and Images
    GUIDANCE ON THE USE OF ROYAL ARMS, NAMES AND IMAGES 1 The following booklet summarises the legal position governing the use, for commercial purposes, of the Royal Arms, Royal Devices, Emblems and Titles and of photographs, portraits, engravings, effigies and busts of The Queen and Members of the Royal Family. Guidance on advertising in which reference is made to a Member of the Royal Family, and on the use of images of Members of the Royal Family on articles for sale, is also provided. The Lord Chamberlain’s Office will be pleased to provide guidance when it is unclear as to whether the use of “Arms” etc., may give the impression that there is a Royal connection. 2 TRADE MARKS Section 4 (1) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 states: “A trade mark which consists of or contains – (a) the Royal arms, or any of the principal armorial bearings of the Royal arms, or any insignia or device so nearly resembling the Royal arms or any such armorial bearing as to be likely to be mistaken for them or it, (b) a representation of the Royal crown or any of the Royal flags, (c) a representation of Her Majesty or any Member of the Royal Family, or any colourable imitation thereof, or (d) words, letters or devices likely to lead persons to think that the applicant either has or recently has had Royal patronage or authorisation, shall not be registered unless it appears to the registrar that consent has been given by or on behalf of Her Majesty or, as the case may be, the relevant Member of the Royal Family.” The Lord Chamberlain's Office is empowered to grant the consent referred to in Section 4(1) on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen.

DNA EVIDENCE and LOUIS XVII Jean-Louis Prieur (1759-1795) created this illustration of Louis-Charles, the French Dauphin, depicting his treatment in prison. The title of this 1794 work is: Simon le cordonnier et Louis XVII au Temple (“Simon the Shoemaker and Louis XVII at the Temple”). Once his father was executed, royalists referred to the Dauphin as King Louis XVII. The illustration is maintained at the BnF and is online via Gallica (the BnF’s digitized gallery). Louis-Charles, the orphaned son of a king and—to royalists—a king (Louis XVII) himself, would have been better off had his captors simply killed him. Instead, he endured unimaginable conditions in Temple prison, existing in a room above his sister. When first imprisoned, he was a bright, good-looking child: ...his blue eyes, aquiline nose, elevated nostrils, well-defined mouth, pouting lips, chestnut hair parted in the middle and falling in thick curls on his shoulders, resembled his mother before her years of tears and torture. All the beauty of his race, by both descents, seemed to reappear in him. (Campan, Memoirs of Marie Antoinette, Supplement to Chapter IX - scroll down 60%.) An acquaintance of Robespierre, Antoine Simon (often called "Simon the shoemaker"), was charged with caring for the young prince.

  • Mediacide: the Press's Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII
    ___________________________________________________________ Mediacide: the Press’s Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII Joel Grissom ___________________________________________________________ On December 10, 1936, a group of men entered the ornate drawing room of Fort Belvedere, the private get-away of His Majesty, King Edward VIII. The mood of the room was informal as the King sat at his desk. Fifteen documents lay before him ready for his signature. Briefly scanning them, he quickly affixed, Edward, RI, to the documents. He then relinquished his chair to his brother, Albert, Duke of York, who did the same. The process was repeated twice more as Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and George, Duke of Kent, also signed the documents. The King stepped outside and inhaled the fresh morning air.1 To the King it smelled of freedom. After months of battling with his Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, and the Prime Minister’s allies in the establishment and the press, Edward was laying down the crown in order to marry the woman he loved, an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson. The next day the newspaper headlines across the world would broadcast the news of the King’s unprecedented decision. With the signing of the Instrument of Abdication, Edward had signed away his throne. The newspapers in both the United States and the United Kingdom that would report the abdication had played a major role in bringing about the fall of the King. While the British media had observed a blackout during most of the crisis, the media in the United States had reported the story of the King and Mrs.

    DUKE STAFF HANDBOOK “…itisuptoustoset anexampleofhowa communityofpeople workingtogethertoward acommonpurpose canrealizeoutrageous ambitions.” VincentE.Price President Checkout ,~,_ UKE forthelatestnews,resources&conversation Print: Working@Dukepublication Online:working.duke.edu Facebook:facebook.com/workingatduke 0 Twitter: twitter.com/workingatduke WELCOME TO DUKE As President, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Duke! Duke’s employees are among the university’s greatest strengths. When you work here, you don’t just do the job and go home. You’re part of the campus community. You share in the university’s successes and help define its identity. Former president Terry Sanford perhaps put it best: every person who works for Duke is important to Duke; they are all Duke University People. As a new Duke University Person, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with this handbook, which is intended to help you establish a successful working relationship with the Duke community. It outlines the many resources and opportunities that are available to you as an employee, and it should help you understand what Duke expects from you as a staff member and what you should expect from Duke. You can find answers to additional questions by reviewing the Duke Human Resources Policy Manual (hr.duke.edu/policies) or by speaking with your supervisor. I also invite you to share in the responsibility of shaping the university’s identity and guiding it toward a more inclusive future. Duke is about much more than what happens in the classroom or the lab; it is up to us to set an example of how a community of people working together toward a common purpose can realize outrageous ambitions.

" said Agnes, breathless, for notwithstanding the tranquillity of so many years, any trifle was enough to rouse her anxieties. " Oh, I hope not," said the maid. This was enough, it need not be said, to VOL. III. B THE HEIR PRESUMPTIVE send Miss Hill trembling to her sister's side. Mary was lying very quietly in bed, with some boxes on the table beside her, and a miniature of her husband, which she always carried about with her, in her hands. " You wanted me, Mary ? " " No," said Lady Frogmore gently ; then, after a pause : " Yes ; I hope you will not be disappointed, dear Agnes ; I think I must go home." " Home ! but we came for Duke's party." " I know ; but I do not think I can remain any longer. Perhaps if you were to stay " " I will not stay if you go, Mary." " I thought Letitia would not mind so much if one of us was here.

  • A Comparative Study on Designating the Crown Prince of Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty
    2021 5th International Conference on Education, Management and Social Science (EMSS 2021) A Comparative Study on Designating the Crown Prince of Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty Jun Feng School of History and Culture, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China Keywords: Emperor taizong of liao dynasty, Emperor taizong of jin dynasty, Designation of the crown prince Abstract: Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty; both gave up designating their sons as the crown prince. Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty relied on his mother to seize the inheritance rights. Under the pressure of the mother, he chose his younger brother as the heir. Although Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty continued the tradition of designating the younger brother as the crown prince in the early days, after the death of his brother, he chose the grandson of Emperor Taizu as the heir. This reflects that imperial clan struggle was a common phenomenon in the early days of the nomadic dynasty. 1. Introduction Yelu Deguang, Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty and Wanyan Sheng, Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty, were the second emperors of the Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. Due to the different political situation in the early years of the two dynasties, there were differences of enthronement between Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty relied on the power of his mother to seize power, while Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty relied on Taizu's rule of designating the younger brother as the crown prince, but to a certain extent it also inspired the clan brothers to climb to the peak of power.

  • Heir of the Month: May 2016
    HEIR OF THE MONTH: MAY 2016 Princess Victoria of Kent How to educate a last minute heir: The Duchess of Kent and the Kensington System Jennifer Henderson Crane In 1861 Queen Victoria suffered a devastating loss that brought her to the brink of collapse. “The dreaded calamity has befallen us,” she recorded in her journal at Windsor Castle, “which seems like an awful dream, from which I cannot recover.” For those even remotely familiar with Queen Victoria, the image of the black-draped monarch is immediately evoked, a wife in perpetual mourning for the beloved husband she lost in 1861. However, the quoted line does not refer to the passing of Albert the Prince Consort, but instead to that of his paternal aunt and mother-in-law, Victoire, the Duchess of Kent, who passed away in March of the same year. Henry Bone: The duchess of Kent with her daughter, the future queen Victoria (c. 1824/25) Victoria had an at times fraught relationship with her mother, but Victoire’s death appeared to erase the past difficulties and animosities, leaving her daughter feeling like a bereft child. She opened herself fully to her grief, so much so that her obsessive hold onto mourning protocol provoked much commentary even outside of court circles. In her work, Magnificent Obsession, Helen Rappaport quotes an American diplomat lamenting that, “‘the Queen carries her sorrow at her mother’s death to an absurd extent… There are no balls this season and in lieu 1 HEIR OF THE MONTH: MAY 2016 thereof but one concert, and to this only the Ministers, and their Ladies and Chief Secretaries only are to be invited’.” Just as Victoria held varying emotions for her mother, so too have historians held variant stances on Victoire, as well as on her perceived motives and ambition.
