    That is so mean, it is this sort of thing that makes you proud to be British. Why don't they want the kids to celebrate :(

    Name of Royal House Changed to Windsor. Prior to 1917, the members of the British Royal Family did not have a surname; but, they were members of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Queen Elizabeth's father, King George VI, was born in 1895 as a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha:D

    I see what you mean as its a very British name :D

    It's a lot chunkier than that E but I know what you are saying. I'm being swayed by the 20% off I can get at Ernest Jones....not always good I know.

    Didn't you know, it is a new unit of time equal to minute plus one extremely small period of time making it so near to minute that it is very nearly identical :o:rotfl::rotfl:

    You are paying for the name with Gucci but there isn't necessarily anything wrong with that. Didn't Martin say something along the lines that MSE isn't about getting the cheapest option, it's about getting what you want at the best possible price. I'd say 20% off is a pretty good deal, unless anyone knows better...

    Most monarchies have mixed heritage, mainly because of the habit of marrying between royal families to avoid wars/take over countries etc.

    How many of us can swear to be totally British back to the dark ages and beyond?

    It is the institution that is British, we do pomp and circumstance better than anyone else in the world :D
