I was googling the British Royal family because of recent events. I just realised "Princess Diana" was not an official title. Only a direct relative of the Queen can use the title Princess. "Princess Diana" was a name given unofficially by the public. She was officially Diana, Princess of Wales, taking her title from Prince Charles and his role as Prince of Wales. To use the Princess title officially, Diana would have been Princess Charles, taking the title from her husband. Thus, no one calls Kate "Princess Kate". Officially, she was Princess William. In the TV series "CRown", Prince Philip was upset that his children could not carry his surname "Mountbatten". In the show, he said: "the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children." In reality, Mountbatten was not his surname. He was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. When he married Elizabeth in 1947, he had to abandon his foreign titles. He adopted Mountbatten as his surane, It was the last name of his maternal grandparents. Isn't the same as Prince Charles being named Windsor?
Rather than using a wire brush to remove them Lady Macbeth said it best..."out damned spot" and in 1967...voila! Dr. Leon Goldman The first laser tattoo removal session happened in 1967, when Dr. Leon Goldman used an ND: YAG laser and a 694 Ruby laser to get rid of a client's body art. Other specialists, meanwhile, developed CO2 lasers, argon lasers, and continuous-wave lasers.
Philip was an immigrant who lived high on the hog with lavish benefits all on the taxpayers dime, or farthing if you will. Never worked a day in his life.
Hey...give the guy a break. When he died the Duke of Edinburgh, as a patron of the Royal Welsh Yacht Club, received a gun salute fired 41 times in Caernarfon, Gwynedd. What more could you want?
I met his grandson once right before the London Olympics. He was giving a talk on the Olympics, but he was introduced as a banker. "Why am I listening to a banker on that subject," I thought to myself. He mentioned about his mother going to the Olympics. At first, I did not know who he was. I thought he was just a young Englishman who was proud of his country. Then, he started to talk about his grandmother getting execited. And then, he switched to the subject of his cousin's wedding, in which he made it liked a national event. "HIs mother must be proud if she is alive," he said something like that. Then, I realised the "dead mother:" was Lady Diana and why the Olympics was so important to his grandmother. Princess Anne did go to the Olympics. He gave a lot of hints that he was somebody. I believed his mother took away his "Prince" title, and he was bitter.... hinting everyway that his grandmother was
I remember watching Duke Snider [AKA "Duke of Flatbush"] when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers [AKA the Bums] back in the 50's. That's about as close to royalty as we get here in the Colonies.
Did you know that the 1st frogmen were not even French! The earliest descriptions of frogmen in war are found in Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War. The first instance was in 425 BC, when the Athenian fleet besieged the Spartanson the small island of Sphacteria.
John Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman. In 1985, Mark Lindsay was nearly casted as "John Lennon" for the biopic "John and Yoko: A Love Story ". Lindsay was axed by Yoko Ono after she discovered his full name was Mark Lindsay Chapman. Finally, Mark Lindsay Chapman was cast as Lennon in the movie "Chapter 27" in 2007 by director Jarret Schaefer. He had some difficulty negotiating the casting with the film's producers because of Chapman's name. After Chapman was cast, he asked Chapman how he should be billed to which Chapman replied "Mark ********ing Lindsay Chapman. That's my ********ing name." Schaefer remarks that this was so reflective of how Lennon talked, it just reinforced his sense that Chapman was right for the part.

Where is the oldest Chinese restaurant in the United States? The oldest continuously-running Chinese restaurant in the U.S. isn't in San Francisco or New York. It's in, of all places, Butte, Montana. The Pekin Noodle Parlor opened in 1911. Jerry Tam's parents, Danny and Sharon, were the third generation of the family to run the restaurant.Nov 22, 2020
Would anyone believe that a Wehrmacht soldier from World War II had a Billboard no. 1 hit in the 1950s? Sounds unthinkable but it did happen...
Are you thinking of Bert Kaempfert? He was a bandleader in the German Navy, not a Wehrmacht soldier, and "Wonderland By Night," though recorded in July 1959 did not chart until 1960... The really notable things about him are: 1. That he wrote "Danke Schoen" for Wayne Newton, "Strangers in the Night" for Sinatra, the music for "The Match Game," and 2. Suggested the Beatles' backup Tony Sheridan on "My Bonnie," which led someone to ask for it in a record shop in Liverpool, which was overheard by Brian Epstein, who sought them out, arranged to manage them, and made history. But perhaps you had someone else in mind?-- I'm just not seeing any plausible candidates with #1's...
Whereas stringers in the night would be how wire service stories get into the morning edition. And stingers in the night-- if there were enough of them-- might be how some wire service stories don't get in the morning edition...
