There's a whole period called "Edwardian" with distinctive art, especially fashion and literature. It's pretty well remembered for ten years.

Very excited about the art and fashions to come out of the Charletan era

There's already a name, the Carolean era.

A tired one.

The Sussex children became prince and princess as soon as their grandfather became king.

Theoretically. But not officially. Check the Royal website. The Wales were updated but not Archie and Lili.

It’s possible it’s not going to happen.

Why did they give them such absurd diminutive names for royal children. I shouldn't be annoyed by it, but it is so grating.

Who are they? Surely you are referring to quite a few of the names on that list.

The two who have nicknames for names. That’s what “diminutive” means.

There’s nothing official. They are prince and princess, providing their parents want to call them that. The only question is whether they get the HRH.

If they are going to be Prince and Princess, that sight will be updated. Someone has made a conscious choice not to do it (yet.) I’d be surprised if they are given HRH being that their parents are not allowed to use HRH.

I have to admit it would irritate me to no end that there's a Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and my kids didn't get the same title. And I understand there is protocol and minutiae and differentiation between HRH and Prince/Princess, but it's these little digs that continue to drive gossip and create more ill will. If I was Charles, that would be my primary concern with my family legacy. Because there's no mistake about it, if God forbid a plague wipes out everyone from Charles to Louis, Harry is the monarch. Everyone knows that. Don't create an artificial distinction under the guise of slimming down the Royal family. It can be decided/implemented in William's generation.

Maybe it’s also a lesson to not go out and publicly trash your family and then expect that everything will remain peachy.

Maybe she could have taken 5 minutes to figure out what she was getting herself into ahead of time. She could have spared everyone all the pain by storming off before her fairytale wedding. But we all know why that didn’t happen. If she wants the features of royal life, she has to live there and participate.

My money is on George abdicating and we’ll have Queen Charlotte. Just wait.

No one would want to marry Harry under the circumstances you are describing. Which is probably why he was so old when he did get married.

More Commonwealth nations, especially in the Caribbean, will ditch the monarchy under Charles. Widening economic inequality in the UK and a stagnant economy will put Charles more and more out of touch with everyday Britons.

I think Elizabeth II (through no fault of her own) was Queen for too long. Her death has in some ways set the monarchy adrift in search of a new identity. I’m not sure Charles has what it takes to set the monarchy on a course that makes it both relevant and meaningful in the 21st century. I’m not even sure William does.

King Charles has returned to Scotland for the remaining 7 days of the mourning period.

A petty king apparently. His overseas daughter in law has requested a private audience to clear the air and he has hightailed it to Balmoral.
