To find the royal family fascinating part 3

[BishopBrennansArse]

Don’t use it yet just putting it here ready for when part 2 runs out....

Maybe Charles and William will both be King Phillip - injecting some "freshness" into the RF?

Or King Arthur would be great! William has no "traditional" king names.

Hmm. If we're worried about precedents, I'm not sure King Philip is the way to go.

William is a traditional king name - he'd be William V.

Maybe either being so close to the top that it's expected, or so useless at anything else that they need to do a few engagements to justify their lavishly funded lifestyles?

Seemingly being ferried around ina chauffeur drivem car to unveil a plaque to say you unveiled a plaque.

William I was the Conqueror. William II his son. William III of William and Mary fame. William IV Queen Victoria's Uncle and immediate predecessor.
There was also William the Lion, King of Scots.

Plus shaking hands of course ... don't forget the shaking of hands

Really arduous work, that

@PancakePatti all covered in thread 2 including a link to some stick men with erections demonstrating its use

That’s interesting and makes sense.

What MN/The Royal lackeys are and aren’t ok with us discussing is also fascinating.

Although I suspect it’s when we stray too close to something that might actually get published in a newspaper that we’re most in trouble. So I think the posters discussing C&C and their um antics are probably safe.

Although I need the brain bleach over here next please.

😳I really must learn to refresh sorry.

I think I used the last of it when a PP mentioned a King's wig made of his mistresses pubic hair. Or it may have been a merkin.

Neither gives a nice mental picture Not envy.

There were two Williams who were kings of England, one William King of Scots. William of Orange and Victoria's predecessor were Kings of both/the UK. William of Orange was offered the Scottish crown alongside Mary in a separate deal from England. The present queen is actually Elizabeth Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth of the UK of GB etc; QEII is incorrect as Elizabeth Tudor was never queen of Scotland or the UK, hence letter boxes exploding and QEII not used on them in Scotland.

Charles III has no problem as it was first used after the Union of the Crowns but William V could cause problems unless he uses IV and V, similar to how Jamie Saxt and First gets referred to 😉😃

Thanks BishopBrennan, so many threads about the Royals I haven't kept up!

I'm obviously going to get a C- in mumsnet studies!

Meghan is so lovely by the way!

My brain hurts! Thats very confusing, and a political minefield

Ain't that the truth ...

My understanding has always been that she is Queen Elizabeth II of the UK and the Commonwealth - the regnal number applies everywhere regardless of previous sovereigns in that country.

Particularly not If said mistress had crabs, @MagicKingdomDizzy

Mumsnet really need to introduce a vomit emoticon!

🤮

FunkyKingston great anecdote about the tourist in Edinburgh

If Charles & Wills both used Phillip as their king name would that make the people of that period the Phillipians? Would get v confusing with the Bible! Or maybe they'd be Phillippines...

More likely The Philistines
