Behind the scenes
- When a heir accedes to the British throne, he or she may choose the name they will rule under, and it does not necessarily have to be their birth name. There is no guarantee that when Charles takes the throne in real life that he will, in fact, choose to be Charles III.
- A recurring way of indicating it's the near future is to have a King (Charles) instead of Queen Elizabeth: this was the idea behind Battlefield and "the King" is briefly mentioned in AUDIO: The Longest Night.
