“Today’s Privy Council … is likely to prove the interesting and most influentially attended meeting of its kind held for a long time past.” This time it is the Press Association credited for the latest piece of hyperbolic-sounding writing, found on page 5, as it was announced that it had been convened for carrying out the changing of the name of the Royal House. After his relations had been forced to change their surnames the King was following suit, although there was no hint as to what he might choose for himself. Not that there was any agreement as to what he was changing it from – was it Guelph or Wettin? Despite it being what has since been regarded as the surname before this change, the article said it was certainly not Saxe-Coburg-Gotha despite the claims of that “German production” the Almanac de Gotha.
