The Once and Future Kings

Royals come well-supplied with given names — Charles and William have four apiece and George has three, making eleven names between the three of them. However, all those names give new monarchs some flexibility when it comes to their own coronations.

Janet Cordahi‘s infographic below shows the potential names that Britain’s future kings can take on when they are coronated.
