Back from the dead indeed :) I thought it apt to bring an old question with me as well.....

Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Pince William are killed. What would be the new monarch's name?

I'm guessing it won't be Henry - maybe cos Henry IX is unlucky - or was that not Charles III?

Surely it wouldn't be King Harry?

I'll pluck another posh name out the air and pick George VII

(sorry streakypoos if you're reading this!)
