Why song about Princess? King with Queen, no Princess, yes?

What?

What?

 

King goes with Queen. Princess is CHILD FEMALE of King and Queen.

 

You see now?

The husband of Queen Elizabeth II isn't called a king either. Or am I wrong?

^I think you're right

you're right. nowadays if the King/Queen marries someone, their husband/wife will become a Prince/Princess. At least I think that's how it works.

No, think you wrong. See Answer 14 @ http://www.heraldica.org/faqs/britfaq.html#p2-13 .

But it could be all different in china. Do they even have a king over there? :thinking:

Maybe, it is because Queen Elizabeth II's husband is a Prince (a title specially conferred upon him) that Coldplay thinks Kings and Princesses go-together. Oh well, they can be forgiven for misunderstanding the Monarchy, they are from America, which is a republic.

they're from America? :lol:

they're from America? :lol:

 

In America, no King and Queen. America is a republic. See "Declaration of Independence".

:laugh3: (I'm sorry)

 

Coldplay is from the UK.

Coldplay is from the UK.

 

No, you thinking of U2.

:D

 

Maybe you should go and look it up on Wikipedia or somewhere.

Wait, so Coldplay make the King/Princess mistake and THEY FROM COUNTRY WITH MONARCHY?

I hope he's joking! Especially as he denies that he's wrong. :P

FYI - Not wrong about King + Queen.

I thought the exact same thing. The love story in Princess Of China gets an incestuous feel.

:D

the British gave independence to America.

 

Rihanna is the princess ( its origins are African and Irish.)

About 90% of Barbados are descendants of African peoples. The rest of the population came from Europe (mainly Great Britain and Ireland), China, India, United States, Canada.

 

cool coldplay made video paradise in africa

why? :inquisitive:

why? :inquisitive:

 

Because a princess is usually the daughter of the king.

Because a princess is usually the daughter of the king.

 

But the old king is dead ... :(

Long live the king! :awesome:

But the old king is dead ... :(

 

Makes me think of Hamlet.

 

So the king is dead and is replaced by his brother. That means the princess is the new king's niece. Still, incest. Oh whatever, nevermind! :p

Hahahahahahaha, this made me lol :lol:

Coldplay is not from America.

Also, why do you sound like you are using google translator? :thinking: :P

A Princess is usually the daughter of A king or queen. There's several kings in the world, so any could be her father. Why would the king in this story be the father?

 

I think the system works the same in UK as in the Netherlands. A woman that marries a prince or king, become automatically princess or queen, but a guy that marries a princess or queen is not automatically a prince or king. In the Netherlands we have had for several generations already queens but no kings, they were princes instead. But this doesn't work the other way around! So if the Rihanna person would have married the Chris she would have become automatically the queen.

So ... I guess we shouldn't take the lyrics like that. She's just singing about how she feels the future could be like, and in there she is seeing Chris as being like a king - not really being a king! - and she would have felt like a princess - not be a princess!
