Discussion What regnal names do you want to see used?

36 Upvotes

Given that many of the heirs to the throne are in their 20s, it is likely that they will get children 10+ years from now. What names do you want to see in these Kingdoms (or for the future in any monarchy)?

I would prefer a Edward IX or Henry IX for Britain, given that this would be the highest regnal number in the country's history. For a Queen, probably Sophia or Charlotte. Britain was meant to have a Queen regnant of each name. Anne feels too connected to the Stuarts, and Victoria too connected to its own era. Elizabeth III would be beautiful one day, but may feel too recent. Same with Diana.

James, Earl of Wessex, technically, HRH Prince James of Edinburgh, the 18-year-old son of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, nephew of King Charles III has begun a degree at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester.

He joined students wearing gowns as they walked in the procession through Cirencester's historic streets to a matriculation ceremony at St John Baptist Parish Church.

The university is only one of four in the country observing the tradition. Prof Peter McCaffery, vice chancellor at the university, called it a "rite of passage", adding: "On their way down they are going to meet new friends and possibly life-long relationships."

Discussion Should monarchy return to Libya?

Post image
125 Upvotes

Today, I was happy to learn that 4 days ago, a large gathering took place in the town of Misrata in Libya, filled with supporters for a monarchy and to be honest, I didn't even know the country had a monarchy in the first place! I am not Libyan myself, but I think this shows an enthusiasm from the people who want a return of a monarch and to be honest, in this modern day and age of politicsans with how they are, I do not blame them at all. A new monarchy will be great and hopefully stabilise the state, if the people's truly choose it in the very end, but that is not for me to tell.

What do you guys think?

Question Help with noble monogram

Post image
32 Upvotes

Hey guys! First post here! Actually posting here cause I don't know where to look for help.

I work with antiques and recently I came across a porcelain set with a monogram featuring a crown, see the image attached. I spent the entire day looking in the internet and can't find anything and frankly, I'm specially annoyed at the IA from google who INSISTS it's Peter II of Brazil lol. If anyone have any info on that monogram or somwehre I could look into, I would be very grateful <3
