    Baby Cambridge: Potential Names and Godparents

    I am really hoping for Philip. It would be such a great way to honor the Duke of Edinburgh. My guess is: Philip Charles Michael Henry James honoring great grand father, grand fathers and uncles - Longer than normal I realize.

    Baby Cambridge: Potential Names and Godparents

    I think Philip would be a nice name for the new Prince - royal enough but not as common as George or Edward; also a very nice tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh.

    Succession to the Crown Act 2013, Part 1: 2011 - Sep 2022

    I am glad this question can be put to a stop for a generation.

    Succession to the Crown Act 2013, Part 1: 2011 - Sep 2022

    If this change is made, if the monarch is a queen, will her husband then become king consort? Seems like if they are trying to make things 'equal', then it should be. Also will the Duke of York's oldest daughter then also become Duke of York one day? Once again, it seems like if they are...

    The Mechanics of Abdication and of Succession to the Throne

    If the unborn child would not be proclaimed Monarch, and Harry would not be proclaimed King, would the Monarch then for a period of time 'die'? Seems contary to the idea 'The King is dead. Long Live the King (or Queen)'.

    The Mechanics of Abdication and of Succession to the Throne

    This is a very interesting thread, especially now with the Duchess of Cambridge's pregnancy. I was wondering if the unborn child is already third in line to the throne, and from reading this thread he/she is. Therefore it is already proper to say that Harry is fourth in line to the throne...

    Questions about Future Queens, Dowagers and Surviving Spouses

    If the Queen were to abdicate (I know it won't happen, but I am just saying 'if'), would she then be titled Queen Mother? Or what title would she have? Princess Elizabeth? I wonder how many people will respond with a 'She won't abdicate.' I know she won't abdicate!

    Questions about Future Queens, Dowagers and Surviving Spouses

    If William has a son and William were to die while Charles is king, Kate would continue as Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, right? William and Kate's son would inherit the Duke of Cambridge title, but not the Duke of Cornwall title, right? Now my real question: Once Charles dies, and...

    Royal Dukes, Royal Duchies and Royal Ducal Titles 1: Ending 2022

    Two Questions: I know there is discussion how the Duke of Edinburgh title will need to be reissued after both the Queen's and the current Duke of Edinburgh have died. Could Charles, William, Harry and Andrew all decline the title, and have the title go directly to Edward? I am not suggesting...

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    Ok, we better get back on track, or Zonk will Zonk us for getting off subject. In 30 minutes or so the annoucement will be made regarding titles.

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    They were not going to be grandparents of a future King, as Mr. Middleton will be. I just think the annoucement about titles today may possibly (not likely but possibly) be regarding his title. I still think the most likely scenario will be William being made an earl today.

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    I will bite my tongue since this is a day of celebration when an heir apparent :smile: :lol:probably will get a new title in about 3 hours. I wonder if in addition to giving William a new title, I wonder if Mr. Middleton will also be given a title.

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    Using your definition of 'heir apparent' - William qualifies. His succession to a position (King) appears certain. He will succeed to the throne. It is certain. As long as he lives long enough, he will succeed to the throne. However, once again, using your definition of 'heir', William...

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    If you insist on using the word 'heir apparent' to describe the next in line to the throne, what word do you use to describe William and William's oldest son - people who will eventually definately become the monarch? Also, what then is the difference between heir and heir apparent?

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    I would say Charles is the heir to the throne - and there can only be one heir to the throne. But I would consider both Charles, William and eventually William's oldest son all heir apparents. Otherwise, what would you call somebody like William's oldest son - who will definately inherit...

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    I agree. I have long thought that. That seems the most logical to me. I am surprised only 8 of us so far have voted for it.

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    According to Wikepedia, 'An heir apparent is a person who cannot be displaced from inheriting, except by a change in the rules of succession.' As such, both Charles and William qualifiy.

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    I am really surprised by the voting. I really think William will become an Earl, but if he is named a Duke, I think it will be Clarence. Clarence is the only original royal dukedom created between 1337 and 1385 presently not being used (the others being York, Cornwall, Lancaster and...

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    I hope not. It sounds too similar to Wessex which Edward and Sophie have. Plus, it is likely to spark some off color jokes such as, oops, I guess young children may read this post, so I better not say. :flowers:

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    Now that would be fun! I still suspect they will be given some title so that Kate isn't commonly called Princess Kate, and so that their children's names are not all messed up - especially their first born son. But I also suspect they will not be made Duke/Duchess so they can keep a lower...

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    Agreed, that is assuming she becomes Duchess or Countess. If she becomes only 'Princess William of Wales', I think lots of people will call her Princess Catherine.

    Yes. But it would have been a nice title had it been available.

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    You missed one important Daughter-in-law: Sophie, Countess of Wessex. And in fact I think that is a model that will be followed with Kate and William. They want to have a some what normal life. They want to stay out of the spotlight. They also want a title, and will become Duke at a later...

    Prince William and Catherine Middleton Possible Titles

    Or, the Queen could allow her to be called 'Her Highest Royal Majesty the exalted Wife of the Probably Future King, so we might as well start calling you Queen Katie now'. That would REALLY Surprise and shock everyone!! HaHa!
