robertoart Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Perhaps you may have some ideas for the new arrivals name? May I start the ball rolling with, Prince Wilfred after Wilfred Brambell from Steptoe and Son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 He will have a long time to wait, what with his father, grandfather and great grandmother standing in the way of his becoming King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Basically couldn't give a rat's arse but my guess is that he will be named James, George or Edward, with an outside chance of Richard. I would say there's not much chance of the royals breaking the pattern of traditional king's names. Edited July 23, 2013 by kinuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there's not much chance of the royals breaking the pattern of traditional king's names. I don't think it matters what they call him. Prince Charles has stated that he'd be George VII. So let him be Wilfred. Or Osama. Or Elizabeth. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertoart Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Save the congratulations, Freelancer. The poor old UK taxpayer is paying for too many royals already. Well in the age of Celebrity TV and the glorification of everything shallow and useless, the Royals have managed to re-invent themselves. Somehow they've come up smelling of roses again. A perfect fit for the times. England and the rest of the world are in love with them. They even make the headlines in the States if I'm not mistaken. I can't imagine a time now where the buggers aren't around. Edited July 23, 2013 by freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well I think it's cool. I tend to think that the Royals are good value for the tax payer. So I'm a happy Scot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there's not much chance of the royals breaking the pattern of traditional king's names. No way it's going to be Richard. Without Richard III being killed....Elizabeth II wouldn't have ended up on the throne. You would think they would avoid George. All the Georges (including her father) were from the German part of the family. They wouldn't be Windsors if her Great-Grandfather didn't change the name of the house from Sax-Coburg & Gotha during WWI. The first George couldn't even speak English until much latter in his reign. The first two were not even born in England. I understand why it's so important to many in the UK/Commonwealth....why people in the US care so much?....tried to watch the news yesterday and it's all they were talking about.

mjazzg Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) My only hope is that by the time he reaches the throne this country will have come to its senses and there won't be a throne to occupy. He can then call himself 'King' and swan around the Med like the the Kings of Greece and Yugoslavia do as an embodiment of an outmoded institution of privilege and inequality.

A Lark Ascending Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Just turned BBC news on to be met with endless whittering about when they are going to leave the hospital. "So what will happen next?" "We'll, they'll come out the door, down the steps and get into a waiting car." Cutting edge journalism from the lefty BBC.
