Oh, just a couple of random comments from the recently transplanted:

Last principality out keeps the name?

belts.

At least one knight I know writes in indelible ink on the back of his
squires' belts, "If found please return to Syr <name removed to save
squires embarrassment>, <location also removed>, Kingdom of <and so forth>"
 His rule is that if he ever gets a belt back due to that legend, the
squire had better be inside it.  The squire may be naked and unconscious
and smelling of perfume, but those he would only have to settle with his
lady (reverse genders as appropriate).  Empty belts are NOT tolerated...and
all his squires are too scared to risk the consequences.

Do you mean in the theatres?  Because they are a staple of cable TV.

Yeah, but release of bodily functions is not nearly as satisfying when
someone else does it for you.  (Been asked by royalty and autocrats, who
sighed as they asked plaintively, "while you're there will you do it for me
too?")
