What is the British royal family’s surname? The use of Wales, Sussex and Mountbatten-Windsor explained
Members of the British royal family are typically known by their official titles, but when a surname is needed, one does exist. Though prior to 1917, royal family members didn’t have a surname, instead they went by the name of the house or dynasty that they belonged to. That changed when George V adopted Windsor as both the name of the “House” and his family’s surname. While the same name was confirmed by Queen Elizabeth in 1952, she and Prince Philip, according to the royal family’s website, decided in 1960 that they wanted their “own direct descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the Royal Family.” It was then declared in 1960 that descendants of Queen Elizabeth, excluding those who enjoy “the style, title or attribute of Royal Highness and the titular dignity of Prince or Princess,” as well as female members who marry, would use the surname “Mountbatten-Windsor,” a combination of two names linked to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

East Sussex: Man who told boarding school pupil ‘I love you’ banned from teaching | UK News
A teacher who repeatedly said ‘I love you’ to a boarding school pupil has been struck off. Benjamin Phelps, 31, was struck off after a disciplinary panel found he committed serious misconduct in his relationship with a student at £30,000-a-year St Bede’s School, in East Sussex. At the time, he worked as a deputy boarding housemaster, tutor and performing arts technician at the senior school for students aged 13 to 18. During their relationship, the panel found that Mr Phelps texted the pupil inappropriately, they met up outside lessons, hugged and kissed on the cheek, and he requested they skip school to “eat in the car” together. One message sent over WhatsApp read: “I hope you’ve had a good night, I’m falling asleep with my phone in my hand. I love you and wish you sweet dream!! Contact me about anything xxxxxx” Another read: “Love you more every day. My heart fluttered every time you caught my eye x also, I love the hearts!

New legal action planned over proposal to house 540 asylum seekers in Sussex town | UK News
A residents’ group has said it plans to launch a fresh legal challenge over plans to use a military training camp in Crowborough as accommodation for asylum seekers. The new challenge against the Home Office would follow the group’s initial legal bid being thrown out for being filed before the Government decided to go ahead with plans to use the site. Legal action was first filed against the government by Crowborough Shield, a community interest company, in December last year after it revealed it was considering housing up to 540 men at the site in East Sussex.

Pic: PA On Friday, Mr Justice Mould dismissed the claim as “premature” and stated that the group had “jumped the gun”, as at the time the initial claim was launched, there was “no clearly determined policy to use the camp” as accommodation for asylum seekers. However, he said that after the government’s January announcement, that it would …

The world premiere of the Alysa Nahmias-directed documentary Cookie Queens got a royal boost Saturday night in Salt Lake City from a surprise appearance by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
