Bill Wales, sounds like a nice guy. I hear they do not have domestic help and want to keep it that way. I wonder if he washes or dries and who bags the clippings.

I think their real last name was German and Queen Victoria changed it to something more Anglicized.

P.S. Just looked it up. The person who said Mountbatten-Windsor is correct but it was changed in Victorian times from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

Someone is going to say...Who cares? The royal family had no real power and it is a financial load on British people and....whatever else the naysayers say.

I just love that there is real royalty and my fairy tales are kinda true.

Gracie.
Always a romantic.
