Goodness!! This is difficult! May I attempt some of it?
ReplyDelete1) The Duke of York is Prince Andrew; and the Duke of Lancaster is, I think, the Queen - and to the best of my knowledge they are not at war.
2) The eldest daughter of the monarch in England is 'Princess Royal'...Was it a Dauphine in France??
3)The dauphin is the French king's son.
4) The heir to the throne in the UK is the Prince of Wales; in the Netherlands is it the Prince of Orange? In Spain..er....Duke of the Astorias or something like that? And in Russia, Tsarevich.
5). I haven't a clue...is it just the Queen's children and spouse? In which case it would be 5...unless it also include William and Harry...Hmm...
These are difficult but much fun! What a great idea - thank you! :-)
