I believe, when it comes to the stuffy and form-bound computers, the last name is still Windsor, as in the "House of Windsor" which is the Royal Family's surname since George V changed it during the unpleasantness of WW1 (1917) from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Thus the poor kid is burdened with George Alexander Louis Windsor and maybe by his 60s in the 2070s, George VII. One does wonder, with all of the efforts at dissolution and social changes, if there will still be an England or if he will face east and south 5 times a day. I won't be around then so what do I care.

You and others got to this before me:
‘GAL’

Guessing the royal couple never heard the warning of names’ frst initials spelling something comical or worse.

One of our daughters is ‘JET’ - but so long ago before the ‘warning.’ Not bad anyway.
Another family member was ‘HEM’ before marriage.
Being ‘HET’ now is no big deal!

Seeing how long the Brit royals live, this will likely be a photo of him when he gets the crown.

The best of everything....and what do the royals contribute?

Well, for one, they give employment to poor, uneducated, not too bright servant boys!

“Jetting off here and there. Living in palaces, catered night and day. The best of everything....and what do the royals contribute?”

Are you talking about the British royals, or the American pretenders?

"The royal family sucks millions and millions of tax dollars and live high on the hog while the average Brit slogs their way through life.

Jetting off here and there. Living in palaces, catered night and day. The best of everything....and what do the royals contribute?"

http://relentlesslife.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/the-true-cost-of-the-royal-family-explained/

"The cost to maintain the royal family today is £40 million pounds per year as we mentioned before. But the revenue paid to the UK from the Royal lands is 200 million. So £200 million in revenue subtract £40 million in salary costs equals £160 million pounds in profit. That’s right: The Great Britain earns 160 million pounds in profit, every year from the Royal Family."

I hope the “Louis” signifies that they will again raise the claim to France.

I don’t care. The USA doesn’t have kings or queens. And I call no one ‘royal highness.’

Yeah, but that's how the MSM lapdogs refer to nObama, when it isn't "Lord Obama".

Good question. There was a Prince Alexander John of Wales who died as an infant in 1871. There is a Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, who is a few years younger than the Queen. With the independence movement in Scotland, ‘Alexander’ is a good choice. I note that they claim that ‘George’ was not chosen because of King George VI. but just because they liked the name.

While they live a life of extreme luxury, they are also very much in the public spotlight and everything they do can have ramifications, even the naming of their children. There are pros and cons with every station in life.
