Off topic but I must ask ,your location rhymes with vagina ,do you live in the land of Punt?
“Helllloooo!!!”
Well, she was trained and worked as a mechanic during the War. I’m not sure if she’s kept up on modern computer controlled automobiles, but she did once have “a real job”.
Presumably it’s the city of Regina, Saskatchewan. They wanted to name it Victoria, after the Queen, but that was already taken by the city of Victoria in British Columbia, the colony (later state) of Victoria in Australia, Victoria Falls in Africa, etc…
Come on. She has a bit more class than that. She’d at least be working at Talbot’s.
I suppose at this point I can draw attention to the SDMB’s standardised page layout which gives the most concise answer of all.
Years ago, I read that Charles sometimes used Chester as a last name. The rationale being that one of his titles was Earl of Chester.
Were you whooshed, or are you trying to whoosh us?
I also remember seeing the reference that dtilque mentions.
Dude! She’s six in that picture.
I wasn’t whooshing you, since I’ve never heard of this comedian Charlie Chester. I forget where I read it, but probably in one of the newsweeklies (Time, Newsweek, that ilk) about 25 or 30 years ago. I suppose they might have been whooshed.
“Cheerful Charlie” notwithstanding, it does seem to be true. Bear in mind that the PoW has a selection of first names to choose from too: when he submitted one of his watercolours for the Royal Acadamy’s Summer Exhibition in 1987, he did it under the name of Arthur George Carrick.
It seems his full title is His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales, KG, KT, OM, GCB, AK, QSO, PC, ADC, Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland. If he takes a pick ’n’ mix approach, he could easily have a different name on each day of the week.
Prince Edward used the name Edward Windsor in his television work, but when he was created Edward Earl of Wessex he switched to Edward Wessex. Maybe Mountbatten-Windsor was too long?
I don’t think there’s an “of” in that title.
You may be right – I’ve tried to check it out, and only ended up more confused.
My original source has “Baron of Renfrew”, and so do several others. Charles’ own website has it as “Baron Renfrew”, and presumably he should know – except the official website of the royal family has “Lord of Renfrew”, which confuses things again.
It seems there’s also a Baron Renfrew of Kaimsthorn, to further muddy the waters.
In any case, I suspect I may have missed the edit window by now.
I think that the title is Baron Renfrew - the title that attaches to the position “Lord of Renfrew”. Anyway it’s one of the titles held by the Duke of Rothesay, which was the title of the heir to the pre-1707 Scottish throne (analogous to the Duke of Cornwall), and now is used by the heir to the UK throne whenever he’s in Scotland.
