Has the Queen died?

[souljacker]

I vote for King Rollo.

 

[billy_bob]

King Leopold. So we can call him 'King 'Ell.

 

[pesh]

King Prawn.

 

[PR1Berske]

It’s generally assumed he’ll take a different regnal name. King Elvis II would be cool.

It's been rumoured for years that he'll take George VII because , well, you don't need to know much British (or specifically Scottish) history to know the potential problems with using Charles III.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

If he went with Kong I may hold back from my calls for a republic for a bit.

 

[pesh]

I would also accept Tubby or Biscuit Time.

 

[Pickman's model]

I would be pleased with penguins' dinner the first course

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

I'd like him to take the regnal name Kevin. King Kevin.

Not a bad name to choose.

The Hanoverian names being especially popular in Scotland.

George the First was always reckoned
Vile, but viler George the Second;
And what mortal ever heard
Any good of George the Third?
When from earth the Fourth descended
(God be praised!) the Georges ended.

When the Fifth revived the name
He showed have been beset by shame.
The Sixth's death should have roused elation -
The Seventh's will cheer the entire nation

King Digitus, Lord Baron of Lincolnshire, Chancellor of Cumberland, Archduke of Frankfurt, Protector of Bangers

Considering her grandad was supposedly finished off by his doctor so his death would be reported in the right paper I imagine Royal Doctor is a job that they view with a certain amount of skepticism

Must be weird to called by one name your entire life and then insist everyone calls you something else first day in a new job, he will always be Chucky to me.

They should take the Filipino approach and call him Bong Bong.

Anything that implies he may be prone to snatching underdressed young women and carry them screaming to his lair for unspecified purposes is probably best avoided by members of the Windsor family for the time being.

Now I'm wondering what the protocols are for "trying to keep the Queen alive" since presumably they don't want her dying in hospital. Is there a royal doctor who ultimately decides between "she's a bit poorly but we could save her if we tried" versus "this is it, no turning back, get the family in here"?

They can plug her in and keep her circulating for as long as they want, timing is everything

Anyone who has read Michael Moorcock's count brass books will recall king huon who was kept alive in a most peculiar fashion

Well, it’s certainly the secret of great comedy.

 

[Plumdaff]

What about Alfred, then the first and hopefully the last King (of England, your subjugated nation may vary) can have the same name. Has a certain symmetry.

 

[DotCommunist]

I'll only recognize King Mob.

 

[maomao]

King Cnut. But with metathesis.

 

[Idris2002]

How about a High King?

Will no-one think of the cakes? Very disappointed in you, Plumdaff .

I need to stop thinking about cakes. That’s what I need to do.

stop thinking and start acting. or at least eating.

You don't have to inflict 'well fired' (euphemism alert) cakes on the rest of us

 

[A380]

He’s definitely hinted over the years that he was going to take the name George after his grandfather and be George VII ( George VII - This time it’s personal!)

Obviously nothing to do with the last two King Charleses ending badly…

 

[DotCommunist]

Crown him? I ardrigh knew him

 

[A380]

King Julian

 

[Dystopiary]

I think it has to be one of his given names, and he is Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor

I think the "Mountbatten-Windsor" thing was created by Harry for his kids as a tribute to that side of his family.

no, it wasn't: it dates back more than sixty years. The Royal Family name
