Interesting. Somehow, I failed to notice a connection between Charles III and royal names. OTOH, it would appear that there are a lot more names derived from royalty than names with royal in them. OTOH, in the USA, there are 16 places called Royal.
And yes, I am quite aware that King Charles III is the head of state with Mary Simon acting in his place as the Governor General of Canada.
And really, arrant Yankee stupidity? Isn't that redundant?
Hmmm... Possibly. I was 14 before I found out that damn Yankee wasn't one word.
