I think these illustrations will help to show how a prefix to a name, or a title acquired or inherited, fits in with this wonderful science of Numerology, and the number it gives added to the other numbers is a further indication of good or evil fortune for the future.

The titles given to kings and queens when they ascend the throne, especially when take in connection with their birth number, is generally very interesting.

In the case of King Edward VII, he changed his name when he came to the throne from Albert to Edward, the name he took working out as follows:

King 11 = 2

Edward 22 = 4
VII = 7
----
13

I have described this number in a previous chapter as a number of warning with its strange symbolism of “a skeleton” or “death.”

It was certainly a warning of great changes that were about to occur in England, and taken in conjunction with his birth number, November 9th, by adding the 4 produced by the 13 to the 9, they again made a 13, which doubled the warning and also indicated a short reign.

In the case of King George V, the numbers produced are as follows:

King 11 = 2
George 25 = 7
V = 5
----
14 = 5

The compound number 14 I have already described in previous pages as “a number of movement, combination of people and things, but danger from natural forces such as tempests, water, air, or fire, but with a strong element of risk and danger attached to it, generally owing to the actions and foolhardiness of others.”
