This article is a hoax.

The 'references' given are all SPS. When one looks here, which is reliable source for the succession to the UK throne, one cannot find his name anywhere in the ~5K long list, despite the claim made here that he is #2843 in line (and yes, of course that number would change given the list is as of 2001. Nevertheless, he would have been qualified at birth, allegedly 52 years ago).

Furthermore, multiple attempts to google his name are fruitless.

More damningly, there is an assertion in the article that he wrote a book called To All and Singular; an illustrated primer for new Royalty and Nobility, published by Bloomsbury Publishing (the people who published the Harry Potter books). Unfortunately, when you search their website for various combinations of author name and book title, it appears that no such book has ever been published. roux   01:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete agree with nominator blatant hoax. Since when were Austrian Archdukes also Princes of Prussia. "288th in line for the Preußen throne" even though there are less than 10 people in line for that throne Line of succession to the German throne. - dwc lr (talk) 02:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Hoax. The person named as the subject's mother, Maria Theresia of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, died unmarried and childless in 2004. DWC LR: The line of succession to the German/Prussian throne given on that page isn't necessarily definitive - there's an almost unlimited supply of heirs to most thrones.

 * Delete as hoax. To All and Singular is a good title, and there is such a book, but it's by someone else. JohnCD (talk) 13:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
