Ah sorry, didn't realise you were in Oz. Didn't you have a vote recently?
I think the conclusion was a slim majority for the guy who's less of a **** than his deposed predecessor, even if he's pretending to be as big a **** to appease the predecessor's faction in Government. There was an opposition, but the guy leading it was neither a **** nor someone with a backbone, so it was a choice between a pretend-**** and someone who you had to remind yourself existed. So we've got someone who's a bit less of a **** than the clueless **** before, pretending to be a huge ****, although we're now wondering if he actually is just as big a ****, or just as spineless as the guy in opposition, leading to some difficult questions regarding whether it's better to have a real ****, a spineless ****, or a spineless non-**** as your leader, although most would agree any option is better than the clueless **** before. Politics in a nutshell(!). EDIT: I should point out the **** began with a T, not a C. |

Charles will possibly change his name when he becomes king. He has a choice - he could choose Charles, Philip, Arthur or George. If he chooses Charles he would be Charles III and the first two didn't exactly have a successful time as monarchs. Charles I was beheaded and Charles II had a troublesome time as monarch.
Elizabeth III will do as tribute to her

When Charles becomes king, will the title Prince of Wales become vacant? Quote:

I would have loved him to choose Arthur ![]()

I'm sure I've read that he wants to be George VII. As you say Charles has some unfortunate history, Arthur is too much like the legendry one and Philip would seem a bit disrespectful to his dad (and, historically, is more associated with Spanish than British royalty).
Although technically, she's only Elizabeth II in England and Wales, and not in Scotland, where she is the first Queen to be named Elizabeth. At least, that's what I recall. |

If I recall correctly, it was largely expected that Elizabeth II was expected not to be crowned Elizabeth, due to Elizabeth I (or simply Elizabeth as she was then known) being such a pivotal icon of British Royalty.

I'm sure that the monarch takes the highest number out of England or Scotland. Hence if we ever get anther James he will be James VIII, not James III. Or at least that's what they said on QI

One word will change in the anthem , coins will be phased in as and when new ones are printed the same with notes. Other items will happen as they are needed and when practical they will not rush to do them overnight.

Does the money have to change? couldn't the Queen stay on it if Charles chose that?
Before we went decimal in 1971, there were pennies still in circulation with Queen Victoria on them. |

If you're old enough to remember pre-decimal currency it wasn't unusual to have a load of Monarchs on the back of your coins. I like to think even Victoria could be occasionally be found

Not sure about that James VI of Scotland was called James I of England. I think.

Does it go immediately though? I seem to remember there was an Investiture for Charles to become Prince of Wales in 1969, sometime after the Queen had been crowned
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invest...rince_of_Wales Maybe Charles had to have it conferred upon him as it wasn't automatically inherited from his father. The previous PoW was his uncle. Even if it is automatic though, I imagine he would still have to have an investiture. Charles will immediately be King but he will still have to have a coronation. |

Also, his grandson became James VII of Scotland and James II of England. However, that was when England and Scotland were two separate nation that shared the same monarch. Both nations subsequently joined together as the United Kingdom, at which time the "highest number rule" as mentioned on QI came into being.

Harry will probably receive a dukedom when he ties the knot (or possibly an earldom like Prince Edward?), but it will be a different title. |

Edit hereditary in '' because none of this is hereditary in the usual sense. These titles and estates go with the job they are not things that the title owners hold as individuals and can be left in wills etc. They are State properties. Like Chequers. |

Why do you say it like that? I thought the title was traditionally reserved for the second son of the British Monarch, which would be Harry?
