William, The Prince of Rhise and Gervis, born 25 August 2007 and christened William Edmund Christopher Peter, is the heir-apparent to the Erbonian throne. He is the only son and second-eldest child of King Alexander II and his consort, Queen Catarina. He is commonly known as Prince Edmund, to reduce the confusion between his father who was known as Prince William before his accession to the throne.

Birth and name

Edmund was born naturally at the Palace of St Michael'sgate on the 25th of August, 2007, and was baptised a week later by the Bishop of Lendert, the Rt Rev'd David Coke. He was christened William Edmund Christopher Peter, after his father who had been known as Prince William, and his maternal grandfather, Aleksander II of Nikolia, named Petar.

Owing to the possible confusion between the new-born Prince William and Alexander II, hitherto known as Prince William, the decision was made to refer to the new-born as Prince Edmund, although he is reportedly known to friends and family as Gillam (pronounced Gullum), after the Latin form of William, Gulielmus.

Schooling

Edmund was tutored at the Palace of St Michael'sgate until the age of ten, when he was sent to board at Allord College, as his father did. He is currently in the Remove form at Allord College, which corresponds to the First Form of the boys' state system.
