I've had to explain to quite a few people that the Prince of Wales is a prince of a country, and not the Prince of Whales. Though the ladder would be pretty cool because that would mean Aquaman could have a sidekick.
Yeah its quite complicated really. Though the idea of Prince Charles riding a whale into battle is quite amusing (IIRC, he has actually ridden a whale before, which is amusing, though I think it was actually a killer whale, which are technically dolphins, so I dunno and now my head hurts).
The other fun thing to explain to people is that Wales is not a country, but a semi-devolved principality within England, the ruling title of which is traditionally granted to the Sovereign's heir. It doesn't automaticaly make you a Prince or Princess of the UK, which I find myself explaining everytime someone brings up "Princess Diana" when she was technically (before the divorce anyways) "HRH Diana, Princess of Wales." Picky, yes, but it's important, damnit.
