Default OT OT! Sacha's letter in Daily Mail

Queen Victoria said that all male heirs to the throne (first in line,
that is) should have Albert incorporated into their names. But that
pattern was broken with William's names. Now the speculation is what
Dukedom they're given, if any. If they aren't, she'll be Princess
William and that might certainly take some getting used to!


I don't think the family can have taken the Old Queen's views all that
seriously, as KG VI, a younger brother, was an Albert; and Prince
Charles isn't an Albert at all.

Princess William might have been all right if one hadn't already had a
surfeit of Princess Michael. I suggest, tentatively, either Duke of
Hazzard or Duke of Ellington.
