I'm sorry, but John can't be King. Everybody knows that Elvis is The King.
John can be Prince. Well, except that Prince is Prince again after being "The Artist
Formerly Known As Prince" for several years in a bid to fight literacy, I suppose.
So, how about John for Princeling. I think that position is still open.
