PurpleFan Multiloquent Registered: Fri Oct 22 1999 Posts: 2249 Loc: New Westminster BC Canada	I was watching a TV documentary about the Royal famiy and I am curious as to why Prince's Harry and William go by the last name Wales and the Queen goes by the last name of Windsor? Is that becasue their Father is the Prince of Wales? Just curious. PF Edited to include subject in topic title as it is a subject being discussed in AFT.

I don't know where the idea came from that he is William Wales. It is quite dreadful that people refer to them as " the Waleses" _________________________ Wandering aimlessly through FT since 1999.
