Sergeant Wilson Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Wills and Old Charlie are bound to have a Royal domestic. Probably less of an issue in Guernsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 STV news live from the dark gates of an unoccupied Balmoral Castle for 20 secs because the First Minister sends his congratulations from Edinburgh. Tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 can I put my money on the name being Prince Billy Mason Super Ally Newco Windsor? Joking apart it'll boringly be one of those traditional British Royal names like George, Henry, Edward, Albert or Ludwig... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 its an actual thing well its a suggested convention rather than a law. or at least thats the justification given by winston churchill as to why elizabeth ii should be numbered as such across the empire. we'll see what happens if it ever comes to pass that the english numbering gets bypassed. There was a court case brought in Scotland in the 1950s by Scottish Nationalists against the term "Elizabeth II" being used as there never had been an Elizabeth I of Scotland. The Judge, Lord Cooper, ruled that it was up to the monarch to call themselves what they wanted. However, unlike England, there are no pillar boxes in Scotland with the cipher "E II R" on them, just "ER". One pillar box with "E II R" was erected in the Inch area of Edinburgh and was blown up fairly shortly after..... not that you'll read this alternate history in the mainstream media of course....

Mr.Bojangles Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hopefully they call it James so we can all have a good argument about what number he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hopefully they call it James so we can all have a good argument about what number he is. Someone hasn't read McCormick v Lord Advocate.

EDIT: I was also hoping it was non-identical opposite sex twins with the girl born first. EDIT2: And born by caesarean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hopefully they call it James so we can all have a good argument about what number he is. Would be very thoughtful for William to name his first-born after his brother's father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the ruling not that the higher number will be used, i.e. if it was a Alexander or Robert it would be styled "IV"? What about naming the child "Second"?
