Talk:King's Remembrancer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am curious as to why this page has been titled "The King's Remembrancer" when actually the role is currently of the Queen's Remembrancer. Can we get the page re-titled accurately? I appreciate that the post was originally the King's Remembrancer, but surely we should be titling it as it is, not as it was.

The Court/Division is at King's Bench rather than Queen's Bench, so this should match. Tim | meep in my general direction 20:09, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

As the current British monarch is female, the division concerned in the Queen's Bench Division, see Her Majesty's Court Services website. I think it depends whether we are talking about the ancient court or the current court. The ancient court had a King's Bench, which was merged into the High Courts of Justice, becoming (currently) the Queen's Bench Division. This is unlikely to change until Charles or one of his progeny succeed to the throne. I don't know whether there is a wikipedia convention on this and as there is a redirect from Queen's Remembrancer to King's Remembrancer, I don't suppose it matters, but it seemed odd.
