Talk:Royal warrant of precedence

Shouldn't Lady Katherine Brandram be on there somewhere? 195.92.40.49 (talk) 19:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, if a Warrant was granted for her. I can't seem to find a notice for her in the Gazette, so if you manage to come across one, then feel free to add it. Craigy (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Non-Peerage related

In addition to Lady Katherine Brandram, special precedence was conferred upon relatives of Britiah and Continental monarchs domiciled in the UK and married to British subjects. Some of these grants or recognitions coincided with the 1917 name and title changes commanded by George V near the end of World War I, which transformed the British Royal Family from German princes of Saxony to the House of Windsor, along with the House of Teck/Cambridge and the House of Battenberg/Mountbatten. Although only some of these semi-royals received express warrants, their individual changes or clarification in status were officially noticed in the Court Circular. I'd reco that a section in the article be created for them -- they fit nowhere else, really, and the relevance is that some member of each of their families was the beneficiary of a declaration of precedence (and title), e.g. the wife of Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and the morganatic Counts Gleichen, and Counts de Torby.

Two questions

1) How does one "get" a warrant of precedence? Is it issued automatically whenever an heir presumptive of a relevant title who has family dies? Or does one have to "apply" for it? Where? Is such a request always granted or are there certain criteria?

2) In what situation are such warrants issued for wives of knights? It's not an hereditary title so their husbands can't die "in the waiting list" for the title .... Is it for the case of remarriage or when is such a warrant needed?

I'd be glad to read this information in the article! --Oudeístalk 15:28, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
