What is the purpose of your research?
On 18 April the Duke of Edinburgh has become the longest serving royal consort.
Are there more age records broken by BRF?
In the family circle, nicknames are freely bestowed and used by family and close friends for years afterwards. I would imagine royal cousins and friends of the Windsors are used to calling the Queen "Lilibet" and I imagine the Queen encourages such familiarity.
Isn't Prince Charles the oldest man to hold title as Prince of Wales?
If QEII has her own mother's longevity, Charles would be well into his eighties when his mother dies.
Is there every been any disclosure on how the Windsors vote in the UK elections? I know that the Queen is not allowed to vote (and probably so is Charles) but how do the rest of them (Camilla, Sophie etc. etc.) vote?
The Queen is the only one who legally can't vote either for the House of Commons or the House of Lords but... there is no evidence that other major members of the family have ever voted.
I'd forgotten about that.
I think Edward VII considered voting once while Prince of Wales, but he was persuaded not to.
