Has anyone asked the Duke of Huescar this? He would be the person to ask! Previous Message
This is a question best asked of the particular registrar; the "controversy" is synthesized, it exists only because someone made a big deal out of it and media now has something to talk about and sell.

That's your presumption; within the United Kingdom and the jurisdictions therein, there are naming conventions which may not align with or be congruent to Spanish civil (or other) naming conventions. The fact of the matter is that the court is able to specify the individual concerned in its proceedings. You know, the British have courtesy titles and the like which are afforded recognition... Indentity can be validly described in multiple ways, which can overlap, be congruent, etc. We know given those names that the English High Court is referring to the Spanish king emeritus, unless there is someone else who just happens also to be called by all those names... It doesnt make that the "legal name" (according to which law? Spanish civil law or canonical law?).

...consider all that I've said. The Catholic church recognizes multiple names, Spanish civil law recognizes a limited number, both are within their own rights to recognize what they want, one does not negate the other.
We don't need to make a big deal out of the fact that the Spanish civil registry doesn't want the volume of names that the Catholic baptismal registry will accept, unless Spain is about to go to war with the Vatican over it.
