Re: What happens if Charles dies before the Queen?I don't generally assume Dick Turpin was actually named Dick or that Bertie Wooster's given name was Bertie.
Actually that's a fair point. Jack has become vaguely normalised. Can't say I'd inflict it on a child as a given name in its own right though.(Original post by Crystalle)
I think it goes to William, as the son of the eldest. And yes, the lovely Kate would be Queen Consort.
Harry is short for Harold! Although some creative parents call their boys Harry as a name in its own right. Kinda like Jack, which was traditionally a pet name for John. -

When he abdicated he signed away any right his children might otherwise have had to the throne. Once he's gone, he's completely gone.Ah that explains it. Cheers!(Original post by alex5455)

Re: What happens if Charles dies before the Queen?Harry is the 3rd most popular boys name in the country. Henry doesn't even make the top 20.(Original post by L i b)
Is it a name in its own right? The only Harry I've ever met was also a Henry. I know some dodgy characters name their children by nicknames, but I don't think it's particularly proper.

It's also short for Harold. -

Re: What happens if Charles dies before the Queen?If Charles becomes Monarch, he can choose hos name to rule, there is talk he may choose George an become King George 7th. There are questions regarding Camilla.
If Prince Charles dies before the Queen then Prince William becomes King and Kate would be Queen Consort. -

Re: What happens if Charles dies before the Queen?That's true. In the case of Harry Potter, however, I'd say it's fair to assume that Harry is his given name - no one ever calls him Henry or Harold, even (for example) at his hearing at the Ministry of Magic, where they give his full name as 'Harry James Potter'.(Original post by Skip_Snip)

My given name is Jack, and I don't see it as an infliction(Original post by L i b)

Re: What happens if Charles dies before the Queen?For one thing, social values have changed. (And it's Edward VIII)(Original post by Snagprophet)
Why should Charles become king if he's married a divorcee like Edward IV? -
