Comments on: The naming of Royals is a difficult matter http://www.samizdata.net/2005/12/the-naming-of-royals-is-a-diff/ A blog for people with a critically rational individualist perspective Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:43:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Jacob http://www.samizdata.net/2005/12/the-naming-of-royals-is-a-diff/#comment-98941 Jacob Tue, 27 Dec 2005 19:33:05 +0000 http://192.168.200.139/?p=8400#comment-98941 is there any crime a king, and only a king, can commit that will get him beheaded or exiled?

Maybe denying there is global warming…

What was the last one beheaded for ? Something to do with religion ?

One might be tempted to think of breaking the coronation oath to govern the people “in accordance with their laws and customs”. However that seems to happen with regularity these days so perhaps not (especially tyhe “customs” bit).

This is not the same as Jesus in English, which is usually Jesucristo in Spanish.

Charles, and everybody else, should be able to call themselves whatever they want. George will do as well as anything else. As for his famously mad relative (due to a genetic disorder) despite being barking he did still manage to get Parliament to sign up to what has to have been one of the best long term deals ever. Swapping the cash from the crown estates for having to pay for the armed services.

It’s not as if by having an unlucky name that there is anything Charles could mess up that is of any real consequence. Right ? Please tell me this is so …

As for his royal name, I’m partial to King Crusher I.

It’s not my creation (some syndicated columnist years ago suggested it for Charles and Diana’s first born) but it does have an impressive ring to it ….
