Lewis Martin wrote:Later, we may well have William IV

An excellent point, Lewis, with just two minor flaws. One, we've already had a William IV, and two, we've already had a William IV. I know that, technically speaking, this is only one flaw, but I thought it was such a big one that it was worth mentioning twice.

Good God. Forgot about him. Queen Victoria's uncle of course.

Please forgive me, it is Friday night after all.

You could even argue that William IV was German! Though the Hanoverians were around for quite a while...

In fact, don't some people in this country consider the Royal Family German (albeit Diana was more English)? It's rather diluted blood-wise by now.
