A veritable cornucopia of unbridled spazziness. I'd be quite proud to have played my part if that caught on.
His name isnae Harold - it's Henry. My missus only updated me wi this info last week - she also said that Charles probably won't be Charles III but is more likely to be George VII If you can pick your own regnal name (and papal name), I think you're letting the world down if you don't pick King Tallywhacker or King Sizeddong. There was once a Pope Lando - If I was Pope, I'd probably plump for Pope Masteroftheclit I
Oddly, I too, only recently became aware that they can pick a name when they take the throne. I know **** all about Royal succession. Know a bit about Henry VIII and Harold who caught one in the eye in the Norman Conquests and that's about it really.
Thanks to my wife's interests in medieval and Tudor baws, I'm a veritable textbook on Royal succession these days. Harold, it's now reckoned, wasn't the guy on the Bayeux Tapestry (which isn't a tapestry) with the arrow in his eye - 19th Century historians assumed it was as the word "Harold" appears above that figure (as part of the story). Also, I think if someone chose the regnal name Harold, they would be Harold I (technically just King Harold as regnal numbers aren't used until there's a 2nd monarch of that name - until 1952 Elizabeth I was only ever referred to as Queen Elizabeth) as regnal history is only considered to have started with William the Bastard (Conquerer). Of course, that means that Kings and Queens take Regnal numbers which are quite often only applicable to England (and Wales post Glyn Dwr). ****s

We haven't had a major assassination in this country for ****ing ages. Surely someone could take out Charlie?
Aye, Diana was quite some time ago. We are overdue another assassination to bring the country together in faux grief.
You ****in conspiracy theorists are hilarious. Next you'll be telling us that The Princess Of Hearts was pregnant by some rich ragheid.
