He also claims he's the only person allowed to wear a crown in his passport photo, but I suspect that's just him talking smack. I don't think Arthur Uther gives much of a crap about genuine history, Celtic or otherwise. He seems like your basic blowhard to me. The article says he legally changed it in England by deed poll.

I don't think it's legal to use the name "King" in Great Britain. I remember a case several years ago when a U.K. couple tried to name their newborn daughter "Princess" and were prevented from doing so. Besides which, "king" is an Anglo-Saxon word (from cyning). Any self-respecting Celtic battle chieftain would name himself Ard-Righ or something like that. Where did he have his name changed? I don’t think it’s legal to use the name “King” in Great Britain.
