Geoff:
I got two wrong out of 12. One I should have known better = the one about the 
Welsh not being represented on the Royal shield...

...but I ought to do well, being English.

One question was very badly worded. The Queen's father, George VI, did *not* 
choose this as a name by which to rule. It was one of his names. he was usually 
known as Prince Albert (Bertie  to his family) or the Duke of York until his 
accession but his full names were Albert Frederick Arthur George. One source I 
have states that he chose this name because King Albert would sound too German.
