chickenfeetIt seems reasonable in the light of devolution and so I present the following little scene.
Three representatives of the Scottish junta are in the local branch of Monarchs'R'Us.
Sales Person: We have several rather exquisite maharajahs. Very colourful. They come with a free state elephant.
SP: I do see your point gentlemen. Perhaps Scotland just isn't ready for a state elephant. It'll be one the minor german princelings then I expect. Solidly built. Very reliable, Can't go wrong with a German.
SP: You'll be wanting a Protestant I take it? Yes! Well then I have just the thing. The Grand Duke of Mecklenberg-Strelitz. Impeccably Protestant and guaranteed to work in a cold damp climate.
SP: Yes gentlemen, as luck would have it, the Grand Duke is in fact the only German we offer who isn't related to your current lot.
SP: Well the name is a little, how can one put it, Teutonic. Tends to happen with Germans. Still, I'll have a word with my herald. See if we can't come up with something.
Enter Herald. They confer.
SP: How about Mountmuckle? Has a nice Scottish ring and not in the least German?
SP: Excellent! Will that be cash or charge gentlemen?
