• Article qualifies via recently achieving Good Article status. SFNs don't work on this page, but I was able to confirm the hook through the cite in the article itself. Obviously, as a GA about a major figure, it is long enough, well-sourced, and quite presentable. No QPQ is needed—you did this before getting 5 DYKs? Well done. Hook itself is pretty interesting; only suggestion I would give before confirming is specifying British royal family, as many readers would think of other royal families upon seeing the phrase.

The hook is represented on Page 259 of the source. It is essentially WP:ABOUTSELF since someone is asking him if he was first and he answers "yes". I do not think it is controversial. We have another problem however, the article has recently appeared as a bold link in the news. Unfortunately we may have to reject this nomination because of that.

WP:NEW says it must not have appeared in the last year, and that link was 2021. This is fine.--Launchballer 08:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
