I was a bit disappointed that Willem Alexander didn’t go by Willem IV. I like post-nominal numbers. I think the consultation is I also like double names. I also like how the Swedish do it. For another example Carl X of Sweden Carl X Gustav. Previous Message
Well, that's his entitlement ... I personally find it frustrating and confusing. Look at Prussia, where some kings reigned as Friedrich, and others as Friedrich Wilhelm.
Why can't they all adopt the Swedish way, where a king can reign under two names -- but only the first has a post-nominal number? As it is, the country has had kings named Carl XV and Carl XVI Gustaf. Previous Message
He prefers to be called Willem-Alexander, without the IV
