“David, The Marquess of Cholmondeley
As the eldest son of the heir apparent of the 5th Marquess, he was known from birth by the courtesy title of Viscount Malpas. Upon his grandfather's death, he became the heir to the marquessate and was thus known by the courtesy title of Earl of Rocksavage, before inheriting the marquessate in 1990. He also inherited the following subsidiary titles:
Earl of Cholmondeley (Peerage of England)
Earl of Rocksavage (Peerage of the United Kingdom)
Viscount Cholmondeley (Peerage of Ireland)
Viscount Malpas (Peerage of England)
Baron Cholmondeley (Peerage of England)

“In the observance of Good Friday today, April 3 (the holiest day in the Christendom), here's an interesting information about the religion affiliation of the reigning monarchs in Europe.
We arranged them based on the length of their reign.
1. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, reigning since September 15, 1973. Religion: Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sweden
2. Hans-Adam II, the Sovereign Prince of Liechtenstein, reigning since November 13, 1989. Religion: Roman Catholic

Unlike King Charles III, King Willem-Alexander is not required to belong to a specific church, although Dutch royal family is historically Protestant.
His wife, Queen Máxima, is a Roman Catholic and didn't switch religion after their wedding. Their daughters, however, were baptized into the Protestant Church.

Old news, but new to me!
Dr Katherine Hall, a Senior Lecturer at the Dunedin School of Medicine and practising clinician, believes the ancient ruler did not die from infection, alcoholism or murder, as others have claimed. Instead, she argues he met his demise thanks to the neurological disorder Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Dr Hall has had a long standing interest in ancient history and ancient medical history, and over the past five years has been studying part-time for a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Classics (and with a smattering of Ancient Greek). In CLAS241 lecture on Alexander the Great Associate Professor Pat Wheatley outlined what was known about Alexander’s death; drawing on her clinical knowledge and experience of Intensive Care Medicine she was immediately struck with the idea that this could be a case of the neurological disorder Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Six months' research followed, culminating in an article published in The Ancient History Bulletin. In the article she says previous theories around his death in 323BC have not been satisfactory because they have not explained the entire event.
The article appears to be behind a paywall (click to expand volume 32), but it's an extraordinarily rare case of a paywall low enough that it is plausible I might pay it: $2.00 for the article!
Anyways, very cool case of transdisciplinary research.
Article is accessed here for free if anyone is interested. Not sure if this is a mistake that it's Google-able or not, I was trying to get access through my Uni library and this popped up without me having to log in, so I assume it'll work for others.
That link works for me!
This was my only result when I checked Google Scholar, so thanks a bunch!
