Never ask an historian to name anything 
You get the hour lecture with it .....
I am no monarchist. I chose Albert as a tongue in cheek name, made in Germany but looking after a regal lady. However the vehicle soon lived up to Albert's finer qualities, dependable, reliable, trustworthy... and almost a feeling of consumate loyalty.
If son of Albert does the same, will I be happy.
Someone who from early childhood displayed a precocious intelligence, Brave and fearless almost to the point of Reckless.
Someone Who loved all things naval, joined on merit not on privilege and rapidly promoted as a highly capable naval officer, until the quasi political appointment of Admiral of the Fleet.
A passionate traveller and explorer, the first member of the royal family to visit Australia (Where a would-be assassin's bullet nearly ended everything), South Africa, India, Ceylon: never happier than when travelling, especially with his beloved Royal Navy.
Finally someone who put duty above self, Reluctantly, with some bitterness, left his beloved Royal Navy and his Beloved GB to fill the vacant slot of Duke of Saxe-Coburg.
Ladies, Gentlemen, fellow travellers and explorers ..... May I introduce ...

When I was trying to decide on colour for mine it was between Indium Grey and White so I suspect I might have gone for it.
