Its boring me to death so far :smile:

I had no idea that Harry's real name is Henry, I thought theyd made a mistake.

Don't royals have a different official name to their real name! Charles might be a William apparently.

Henry being called Harry is an old tradition.
My octogenarian neighbour Harry (real name Henry) calls my Henry, Harry...

From Wikipedia
Harry, its English short form, was considered the "spoken form" of Henry in medieval England. Most English kings named Henry were called Harry.

Err, yes if ever made king, he'll be Henry The Ninth.
