freezingcoldplay Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 What? King goes with Queen. Princess is CHILD FEMALE of King and Queen. You see now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Hills Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The husband of Queen Elizabeth II isn't called a king either. Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James. Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The husband of Queen Elizabeth II isn't called a king either. Or am I wrong? 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.

freezingcoldplay Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 No, think you wrong. See Answer 14 @ http://www.heraldica.org/faqs/britfaq.html#p2-13 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Hills Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 But it could be all different in china. Do they even have a king over there? :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freezingcoldplay Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryptophan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I thought the exact same thing. The love story in Princess Of China gets an incestuous feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoryABjerre Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 :D Maybe you should go and look it up on Wikipedia or somewhere. the British gave independence to America. Rihanna is the princess ( its origins are African and Irish.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbados 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryptophan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 why? :inquisitive: Because a princess is usually the daughter of the king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryptophan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrd Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 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.Hahahahahahaha, this made me lol :lol: Coldplay is not from America. Also, why do you sound like you are using google translator? :thinking: :P Because a princess is usually the daughter of the king.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!
