Please be prince Vultan, I would want him to be a proper ruler then.

George!!!

Neymar.

Wonder how many days they'll wait to announce it?

If you're taking bets, don't forget that the Windsors are currently taking four Christian names each.
E.g. Prince Charles is also Philip, Arthur, and George.
No winnings should be paid out unless somebody gets all four.
If you look at recent generations, the odds that "George" will be fourth on the list seem to be vey high.

I hear it's a common name.

James Philip Charles Henry

Honestly, do you Brits just not care or haven't yet noticed the anachronistic inanity of a "royal family"?

More people care in other parts of the world than the UK does about its own Royal Family.

They are just like our mascots really, a lifeline to our heritage and history.
Without them our national identity would suffer, plus they make us a load of tax revenue and such.

They "bring in money for the country through tourism etc" and apparently this brings in more than it costs the country.

Also if you have super rich bored people, why not give some of them public jobs to help around the world and with charity's, do you expect that charity and public figure for your country to be the football stars, or just some gov dept? The Royals do have some sensible things to do for their titles.

The tax payers pay the bill.

Im only really interested atm because they will give a name im going to hear over and over, quicker i get used to it the better

How rich is Queen Elizabeth?
Her estimated personal fortune is around £350 million (US $525M). The Duchy of Lancaster estate, a portfolio of land, property and assets, is held in trust for the monarch and worth around £348 million. She also owns properties privately that have never been valued, including Sandringham House, Balmoral Castle reputedly worth £160 million and the Castle of Mey. Her personal art collection is worth at least £10 billion, and she owns personal jewellery and a large stamp collection built up by her grandfather George V. Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the Crown Jewels and the Royal Art Collection are held in trust for the nation.
The Crown Estate, which manages on behalf of the monarch property and land owned by the Crown including Regent Street in London and Britain's coastline, is worth around £8.6 billion and generates £252 million (2011/12) in income a year. This income is handed back to the Government as payment in return for the £36 million per year (in 2012 down 12% from £41 million in 2008) cost of running the monarchy.
This arrangement dates from 1760 when George III gave up the right to the income from the Crown's estates in return for a Civil List paid to members of the Royal Family. In 2013 this changed to a Sovereign Support Grant based on 15% of the income from the Crown Estate. This means that for the year from April 2014 the grant will be £37.9 miilion towards the cost of the Royal household, their travel, attending formal functions and repairs to buildings including Kensington Palace which will be the new home of William and Catherine.

Hope that answers your question.

We need an Arthur or Edward. In my opinion those names would be odd and traditional. Odd because they sound out of place and traditional because of Kings Arthur and Edward.
