Queen Elizabeth at 94 with a 68 year old reign is still being debated by historians and public on whether she deserves the title “the Great”.
Meanwhile Kate Middleton, a duchess, a woman who will be a Consort to the monarch has already been crowned “the Great” by family & friends

While we’re at it, let’s look at the original Catherine the Great. No not her accomplishments, they came later. But what came first? Her marriage into royalty of course. How did that happen? The mother made it happen

“limitless ambition for her daughter” and “connections”

How was her married life? Oh he was going around promising his mistresses that they would replace his wife

So she, the wife of a Tsar arranged a coup for her husband the monarch which eventually led to his death

So in conclusion Catherine the Great is a Consort who wanted the throne even at the cost of getting rid of her husband. She didn’t want her son on the throne either, instead her grandson.

This Tatler piece is fascinating exactly for this reason. The piece goes in detail to explain how William is helpless without his wife & her family; how she is pretty much the kingmaker & without her, he would be nothing. A warning shot has been fired to House Windsor from Midds

Even if Kensington Palace was unaware of the details in the article, they sanctioned a piece called Catherine the Great. The thread explains why William needs to find a better epithet for his wife. While he’s at it, find one for him too. What is he? William the _________________?

I wouldn’t have made this thread if they managed to embiggen the royals without dragging Harry and Meghan’s name into it they’re young parents navigating through parenthood for the first time. Leave them alone and prop yourselves up without comparisons to others.
