Sure he was a Privy Counsellor? edit

You give the postnominal letters PC for a member of Her/His Majesty's Privy Counsel to him but no indication of when he was sworn to it (usually announced in London Gazette or The Times). Only Blood Royal Princes tended to become PCs before the age of 30, and he did not live beyond that age. Otherwise it tended to be awarded to senior Members of Parliament (House of Commons or the Lords, of which he was a very junior member through hereditary qualification) and Cabinet Ministers (he did not take part in politics).Cloptonson (talk) 20:29, 15 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Cloptonson: I have been unable to confirm that he was a PC, so have removed the postnominals. Thank you for raising this. DuncanHill (talk) 21:18, 15 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
