Re: Birthday Royal Challenge
Not wishing to make this any harder but just wanted to check if Regent's Park should be included?

Re: Birthday Royal Challenge
Iain challenged me on this too... here are my thoughts
My own research into the issue concluded that a regent is not a royal figure. As far as I am aware, a regent is a non royal figure that acts as head of state when the royal is unable to be. I realise a regent is related to the topic area of royalty, but I didn't include it as they are not themselves royal. I'm not 100% n this.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm happy to put a poll up to decide, although I fear people will not want the stations changed at this stage.
