Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted March 25, 2020 William could choose to be known by one of his other names. (Some years back it was suggested that Charles might reign as George VII.) How about King Arthur II? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Some years back it was suggested that Charles might reign as George VII.) How about King Arthur II? Anyone can choose to be known by any name they like. However, only three of our monarchs have not reigned under their first given name. Victoria's first name was Alexandrina. Edward VII's first name was Albert after his father, but he didn't use it as his regnal name out of respect for his father. George VI was also an Albert, but used the name George to give the effect of continuity after the abdication of his brother. (Edward VIII was known to his family and friends by his last name, David, but his first name was Edward.) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted March 26, 2020 David was his last given name. I'm not sure if the royal family have surnames as such, although I have heard Windsor, Mountbatten-Windsor or Wales used in some cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were talking about given names and regnal names, so the surname wasn't relevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Old Crem 3,611 Posted March 26, 2020 Boris would never announce a royal death - mainly as he is not their only pm - it would go down badly in Australia etc for the British pm to tell the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,096 Posted March 26, 2020 At least if he does die shortly the public purse will be saved a huge amount of money by the simple fact that the ceremony will be tiny. A vicar and Betty only. And a bloke with a shovel I suppose. Very cheap. A showcase for austerity funerals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will just be announced by a newsreader in a special newsflash, as it was for the Queen Mother. Not a politician. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
