It is worth noting, in the event of someone getting an itchy trigger to AfD poor Mr. Lascelles again, that the guy was 7th in line for the throne at the time of his birth, and a grandson of the then king. He remained in the top 10 in the succession until the birth of the present Duke of Gloucester in 1944, I believe (he may have been 11 briefly between the birth of Prince Michael and the death of the Duke of Kent). At the end of World War II, I believe he would also have even been a possible Councillor of State, given the low number of adult royals (when he turned 21 in 1945, the adult royals ahead of him in succession were his uncle the Duke of Gloucester, his mother, and his older brother, which I believe would have made him a councillor of state until Elizabeth came of age in 1947.) Surely this makes for notability by any reasonable standard? john k 01:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

He wasn't Counsellor of State when he turned 21. As well as the 3 mentioned above, the others were Queen Elizabeth (as the Queen consort); and Princess Elizabeth (as the Regency Act 1943 allowed the first person in the line of succession to be a Counsellor of State if they were over 18- the same age they could act as Regent).

Note also that his position in his early years was identical to that of Peter and Zara Phillips, who I don't think anyone would deny are notable. john k 01:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
