@hurley_sal84016 Men in the Royal Family usually do some sort of military training before gradually rising in the ranks and then getting honorary ranks from the Sovereign. Their medals are won through service. Some are military and some are orders of chivalry.
Baby Vesterberg will be fourth cousins with the children of Prince William, Prince Harry, Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and George Gilman, respectively.
Princess Alexandra’s granddaughter, Flora Vesterberg (née Ogilvy) has announced she is pregnant with her first child. Flora & Timothy married in 2020.
This will be Princess Alexandra’s 1st great-grandchild. And I believe the 1st born in that 4th generation of descendants of Prince George, Duke of Kent.
The baby will be 62nd in line of the UK throne.
Following the death and funerary ceremonies of HRH Princess Irene of Greece, a new blog post will be posted with information and images of The Princess's life, work, and death.
In addition to Greek & Spanish Royals at Princess Irene's Funeral:
Princess Sophie - Alexandra of Bavaria

Prince Christian of Hanover (1st Cousin once removed)
Princess Sophie of Romania (1st cousin once removed)
Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine of Serbia (Friends and distant relatives)
And probably some more I haven't spotted yet.
