I assume my ancestor William the Conqueror became King William 1st and maybe William (of William and Mary) was William 2nd, so I guess that would make the current Prince of Wales William 3rd when he takes over.

It is interesting Charles and Diana named their sons William and Harold. William the Conqueror defeated and killed King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Maybe those names are a sign the brothers will not get along well in the future.
Through marriage (so my parents informed me years ago), I'm related to the Duke of Windsor, aka King Edward VIII, the king that abdicated. If succession comes down to me, please note: I don't want the job!
