Likely not; as the son of the Prince of Wales, he’s still a prince, and the Duke and Duchessy bits were bestowed, likely in perpetuity on the occasion of the marriage, and will probably be retained, like a family name. The other things are honorary, like former U.S. presidents still being addressed as “President”, or…

I would even take a helping of green jello mold with floaty bits.

I was a good tenant when I was renting, but there are sooooo many bad tenants out there, that I’d never be a landlord. I could reno my basement into a bachelor apartment, with a separate entrance, but there’s no way I’d do it.

Well, there used to be sub-blogs of Jezebel, Jalopnik, i09, etc, which were run by commenters, with commenter only content, but G/O Media shut them all down last fall.
