Prince Henry's Wedding

[J.T.B.]

George VII was called Bertie.

Minus one I.

Well I'm an idiot, lol. I never knew Henry and Harry are the same name!

And in Shakespeare, Prince Hal! But I was 40-something years old before I found out that Peggy was a nickname for Margaret. I had two aunts named Margaret, but one was Marge and one Maggie.

Rumor has it that Charles will pick another name as king.....

Maybe he'll be George VII!

Re the wedding: I give Prince Harry credit for wearing the uniform of the unit he actually served in, not of his highest honorary rank (like his brother did). I guess it helps that the Household Cavalry has about the fanciest uniforms in the world.

Minus the I

Oops. Thanx

I'm Californian. What can I say?

 

[Riker'sMailbox]

I thought it was sheer perfection from start to finish. In a world with such negativity and sadness, it was so nice to see millions of people transfixed on an event of love.

He would be Charles the 5th?

Maybe Phillip the 1st?

Charles III - there've only been the two so far.

I'd heard similar talk of Charles wishing to take a different regnal name.

Ok, Brits.. William would be William VI?

William IV and III (England have had two kings called William, Scotland one, and there's been one since the crowns were united)

And in Shakespeare, Prince Hal! ...

Plus Shakespeare called Henry V "Harry," as in "Cry God for Harry, England, and Saint George.!"

Him being so far removed from the succession probably gives him a little more lee-way in that regard as well.

Thanks so much! So William III would be the coregent with Mary II?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Royals have the option of taking a different regnal name, but are not required to do so, amirite?

I did consider it strange that Meghan had noone from her mother's side of the family at the wedding, not even her mother's best friend to keep her company?
P.S Hope Harry knows all that straight hair turns into a curly afro when its wet! His kids might inherit it!

I hope Meghan knows that James Hewitt is actually Harry's Dad and she didn't marry a royal after all

Is there any proof of that? Or just a rumor put forth by Charles-haters?

 

[Markonian]

It’s mere rumour. Based on the uncanny resemblance between the two, and Diana’s association with Hewitt.

The red hair. What more do you need?

You are just evil, milady....

It's optional. Elizabeth didn't do it; she kept her name.

The exQueen Mother was Elizabeth as well

The Queen doesn't even get to have her birthday holiday on her birthday over here. HOWEVER, at least we get a holiday!!

And that's all that truly matters. Here, we get the 4th of July.

^ God bless America.
God save the Queen.

I wonder if republicans (small r) like Mr. Corbyn watched the wedding.

 

[Refuge]

God Defend New Zealand.

Go... I mean, Advance Australia Fair. (Heathens I tell you ) Kidding by the way...

 

[auntiehill]

I was watching the wedding and wondering what it was like for Elizabeth to be standing there, while everyone around is singing "God Save the Queen." She just had this "Oh, for fuck's sake..." look on her face. But then, at her age, she probably does most of the time.

Actual evidence, not gossip and coincidence.

I'm on @Refuge side on this....I think she's right...
