arghton 6,692 Posted September 8, 2022 Don't think I've ever posted this. The Queen visited Finland in 1976, was taken to a logging site in a forest, offered a lumberjack helmet and vodka. Not sure if she ever visited Finland after this 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marklv 41 Posted September 8, 2022 6 minutes ago, Toast said: So why did his parents choose it? Because they liked it, but that's irrelevant. His full name is Charles Philip Arthur George. The emphasis is on George - it was included for a reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,745 Posted September 8, 2022 5 minutes ago, Toast said: There's no earthly reason why he should choose to be known as George. The theory was that he didn't want to be associated with the regnal name Charles: the first one got his head chopped off and the second was the Merry Monarch, who fathered a small army of illegitimate children. But I agree, he'll be Charles III, which is what his parents named him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
