In "Elizabeth 2: The Golden Age", what is the name of that half cape they wear?
"Elizabeth 2: The Golden Age" refers to the second half of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, which began in 1952. It is considered a "golden age" because of the economic prosperity and cultural achievements during this time. The Half Cape Name refers to the naming convention used for Elizabeth II, where she is referred to as Elizabeth II instead of Elizabeth Windsor, her surname.
The Half Cape Name convention was established by Queen Victoria in 1917 as a way to differentiate between the royal family and the rest of the British population. This naming convention is still used today for members of the royal family.
No, there has never been an Elizabeth I during the Half Cape Name period. Queen Elizabeth I reigned from 1558 to 1603, long before the establishment of the Half Cape Name convention.
The Half Cape Name convention only applies to members of the royal family who are in direct line to the throne. It does not impact the succession of the British throne in any way. The next in line to the throne will still become the monarch, regardless of their name or title.
Yes, there are a few exceptions to the Half Cape Name convention. These include divorced members of the royal family, who may choose to use their married surname, and members of the royal family who hold a peerage title, such as Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
