    I think it will be hard for people to remember the new king of the UK's name. It's Charles III now, in case you don't know. (He was formerly just Prince Charles of course.)

    Well, it was easy to remember his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Because she always made you think of that famous queen, Queen Elizabeth I. Elizabeth I was the first Elizabeth and she was the second. So how could you forget that? But there's an easy way to remember King Charles III's name. He came after a monarch who was the second, so therefore he's the third you could say. Or put another way, first there was Elizabeth I, who always made you think of Elizabeth II and now comes the third in this series (for no historical reason though, of course), Charles III. One, two, three in other words.

    Also, you know I still remember Charles III's name. His full name is Charles Phillip Arthur George. Princess Diana got it wrong during their wedding in 1981, and I still remember it. Maybe for that reason. And Prince Andrew's name is easy to remember. When he and Sarah Ferguson were married in 1986, she just thought of the word ACE. Short for Albert Christian Edward. Because those were his middle names. Or altogether, Andrew Albert Christian Edward. It's amazing I still remember that. I think it's because of those two weird events surrounding their names like I said.
