Combining Brit Royalty and Wizards...?

[o_caipora]

Christian Stubø provided some amazingly detailed info on royalty, 
correcting several errors of mine:
> The son of King George V

love-

wooed

> He eventually realised that he had to choose between the Crown and

> 1936; it took legal power December 11th, when Edward gave Royal

Windsor

Rowling's lawyers, Theodore Goddard, the ones who send "Cease and 
Desist" letters to fanfiction authors, used to have on their website 
the information that they had represented Mrs. Simpson and negociated 
the abdication of Edward VIII. 

Alas, they have since merged with someone else, and that Mrs. Simpson 
has departed from their website. 

I'm disappointed. I'd written them into a fanfiction and used that 
bit.

Query: is Rowling's failure to mention the Queen something Scottish? 
And exploiting the chance to be off-topic, in _On her Majesty's 
Secret Service_ James ("I will always be a Scottish peasant") Bond 
has occasion to visit the College of Arms. Why does the herald say 
that "Bond" means "churl" rather simply sending James off to the 
Scottish college?
