What Do You Think About Peter Phillips? (2024)

I never paid much attention to him but I notice he's cute (relatively speaking for a british royal his age), seems low key, messy love life.

What's the deal and gossip with him? I already know Anne refused titles for him and Zara (probably a smart decision) and he's basically for all intents and purposes considered a rich businessman.

I watched a couple of interviews with him and he was giving me family party-planner vibes, in another interview talking about equestrian sports. So, is he legit a successful businessman or does he kind of just keep himself busy while living off family money? What's tea?

I know the press mostly ignores him but does he have proper status within the family as the eldest grandchild and a blood royal or is he treated as an afterthought based on his lack of title? What's his relationship with other royals? With the departed Queen?

I think it’s super petty when blood royals don’t accept titles for their children.

Like what is that even about??

The reason why Peter isn't a Prince or any other title is that a woman (except the monarch) can't pass down titles to their children. If I recall (please correct me). I think the Queen did offer to provide Anne's husband a title, but decided against it. It would be the only way a title could pass down to Peter.

Ok ok I see.

They must not want outsider men to have any claim to the throne.

Most men probably feel some type of way if their wife outranks them.

I'm shocked how we aren't seeing fonts obsess over him and ask the tarot gawds if their moon and that of Peter's line up since so many want in the royal/aristo fold. I mean, a 40-something year old single father, th0tting around town playing bachelor, living on his mum's property, getting deals because of his royal connections should be an opportunity for them to show us how it's done. They want to play obedient wife and mule for the royals, they claim to have access to certain spaces so what's the hold up? Mind you they see themselves as highly favoured and people who would automatically gain the world's favour because they know best!! This from years of reading tabloids and observing from afar the workings of the royal/aristo world.

Title or not these fonts can wear tiaras and gowns and be invited to show a little thigh whilst getting out of cars, they can deeply curtsey to the kang and qween, they can do the same to the PPoW and their children. Peter is on the prowl so why aren't these gworls with their well-tailored outfits, their perfectly shaped legs and bawdies not yet in Peter's arms? He's out there dipping and kissing for the world to see, breaking covid lock down rules to get it in... the man is red-dy for the lsa blahque sistahs so what gives???!!

I don't remember which European country this was but their queen married a man and her husband threw a fit over not having the title of king despite it being explained to him that that's not how it works. Last I heard they were living separately, he was angry.

As I understand the queen wanted to give Peter and Zara titles (which she was free to do) but Ann declined because she wanted them to live regular lives.

Anne was not in line for the throne due to being a woman so neither were her children. Logically, if they were made a prince and princess or some of ther title then they probably would have had obligations to do royal duties even though they wouldn't be in the line of succession. I can see why Anne said "f--- that."

Looool im prettyyyy sure you’re talking about Denmark’s (well, she recently abdicated) Wueen Marguerite (I know I spelled it wrong)- apparently her husband was so mad that he didn’t even want to be buried beside her or some sh*t. Hater ass heffa ass b!tch made man babies.

That pretty much sums it up. This applies to every monarch regardless of country.

Correct. It's the same for Prince William's children. His daughter Charlotte will not be able to pass down any titles, but her two brothers will be able to do that. William can give an option of a peerage to her husband though. The same option the Queen gave to Mark Phillips, but they declined. So Zara and Philips were raised without royal titles. And to your point it did allow them to live normal lives and not be dedicated to royal duties.
