I laugh at the proposed rationale for the male wedding ring. Everyone knows the custom was concocted by jewelers.

Nah, I don't think so, it that were the case they'd have gone for double engagement rings, that's were the real money is.

I have checked the marriage vows for the tradition Book of Common Prayer and it is a single ring ceremony, as I can best see. Hence according to the BBC, Mrs Thatcher, very properly wore a ring. But what of the Queen? Does she? Interesting concept for a Queen Regnant.

..."wouldn't KEVIII also be disputed?
These numberings would have been disputed at the time of a succession but promptly ignored. It took the blowing up of a few postboxes to get a solution in 1953 to the problem.
From that date the numerical superiority of a king's or queen's name in either Scotland or England takes precedence for example... a new James would automatically be James VIII (8th) in the whole of GB as the superior number of Scottish King James (7 in total) outnumbers the English King James (2 in total). I don't think this is Law but is a compromise solution favored by many but obviously not all.
