thread_title: Question by [[User:Apoivre|apoivre]]

message: Am I correct in thinking that if Edward VIII had not abdicated (but everything else remained the way it really happened), Prince Richard would today be King? When Edward died in 1972, he had no children (at least no legitimate ones; we don't know for sure if Scott Chisholm's grandfather was really his son) and his only surviving sibling was Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. Surely Henry would then have become king, rather than Elizabeth becoming queen, wouldn't he? Henry died in 1974, and his oldest son Prince William of Gloucester had already died in '72, leaving Richard next in line to the throne. Right? --Angr/comhrá 11:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: If Great Britain had male-only succesion, Richard (or possibly his brother, under different circumstances) would probably have been king. Morhange (talk) 04:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Only if that rule had been adopted since 1901. The main "what if" situation that would make Richard king today would be if George VI & his children had been killed in the Blitz. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Is Prince Richard really a QC? Doesn't one need to be a barrister for that? Perhaps the person that added that postnomial meant Privy Counsellor?--dave-- 12:40, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: QC (along with another few poorly-spelt postnominals) was added from an IP which made half a dozen vandalism edits around the same time (and nothing else). I've reverted the changes to this article. Dr pda 16:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Phillip. I'm sorry I missed the obvious problem with that edit. All I saw was the original QC redlink and changed that. Well done.--dave-- 19:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: He gave up a job in architecture to represent his cousin at Royal Events? This seems crazy, how often do they really need a cousin, does this pay more? Is the real reason he is rich he doesn't need to work? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.110.221.182 (talk) 22:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Royal Family have long undertaken a huge number of public engagements (particularly charities), in part because in most generations the monarch has had many children, providing a lot who can do them and raising expectations. The Commonwealth also adds to the demand for appearances. However when the current Queen ascended the throne there was a lengthy period when immediate family members who could do duties were in short supply as she had only the one sibling and all her children were very young. So several of the Queen's cousins have taken on duties to fill in the gaps. Timrollpickering (talk) 00:22, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

message: If he became king some how. Would they include his glasses on money and stamps?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.133.23 (talk) 14:08, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Queen of Denmark wears glasses and on the back of most Danish Krones they haven't pictured her wearing glasses. If he ever became King, which is highly unlikely, then he will probably be pictured without glasses on notes/coins etc. See a picture of the Danish Krone here. Also, here is an image of a Danish Stamp- Margarethe isn't wearing glasses here either. Hope this helped :) --PrincessAlice13 (talk) 20:26, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Maltese cross?

message: HRH The Duke of Gloucester is Patron of Scottish Veterans Residences (SVR) a registered charity which assists ex-service people who are homeless or in need.  The article states that he is patron of Severn Valley Railway (also SVR).  It may be coincidence but more likely that the acronyms have become confused.  Typing SVR into search engines usually comes up with Severn Valley Railway which may be the source of the error.Flight of the heron (talk) 15:45, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The abstract states that he is "the most senior exclusively-male-line male[...]of the entire House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha". I believe that's not correct since his relative Andreas,_Prince_of_Saxe-Coburg_and_Gotha is the head of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha also to be found in the abstract of House_of_Windsor. Any objection?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.69.94.117 (talk) 13:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Isn't he their patron? This should be mentioned - and perhaps he is patron of other groups as well; so a section (if enough material is available) on his 'non-Royal' activities suggests itself.</br> I will insert this soon enough if there is no good proviso not to presented.

message: He was not born at Hadley Common nursing home. That is his brother. Prince Richard was born at St Matthew's Nursing Home in Northampton. My cite for this information is Noble Frankland's biography of his father. Geekyroyalaficionado (talk) 12:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Some are trying to alter St Matthew's Nursing Home (cited by the birth announcement in London Gazette) to St Matthew's Hospital; "now is called St Matthews Unit or St Matthews Hosptal in his birth place is not called St Matthews Nursing Home at past". St Matthews Unit is a mental health unit so not the same and there is no mention of the Duke of Gloucester on its website. Even if it were the same organisation (or building), the name at the time of his birth was St Matthew's Nursing Home and that should remain in the article.

message: Much of the section labeled "Career" has nothing to do with his professional work, and instead lists multiple patronages and roles in his capacity as a member of the royal family.

message: In the source for the Line of British Succession box, it says No order numbers after Chatto? I am wondering why we are putting the restriction there?
