13305640, Why isn’t Carlton the Prince of Bel Air? Posted by MEAT, Wed Jan-09-19 01:38 PM
1. you can’t just become a prince, the title is about your father 2. Uhhhh see the last part of 1. 3. He ain’t of bel air he’s of West Philly

13305644, He wasn’t fresh enough. Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Jan-09-19 01:42 PM
|
13305647, I always took it that he was the Prince of Bel Air Posted by calij81, Wed Jan-09-19 01:48 PM
And Will was simply the “Fresh Prince” of Bel Air.
You can have multiple princes. Aren’t William and Harry both considered princes.
|
13305652, Title only goes to bloodline. He could be adopted heir, but not prince Posted by MEAT, Wed Jan-09-19 01:56 PM
|
13305653, Uncle Phil said he always treated Will as a son Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Jan-09-19 01:57 PM
in the finale

Not a one.
|
13305656, In the theme song, Will says he became the prince of a town called Bel Air Posted by Marauder21, Wed Jan-09-19 02:02 PM
Implying that there's only one prince and he has the title.
|
13305662, He was the self appointed “fresh prince” Posted by calij81, Wed Jan-09-19 02:07 PM
So he was trying t to usurp the throne from its rightful prince, Carlton.
|
13305679, The original ending was going to be Posted by Marauder21, Wed Jan-09-19 02:20 PM
Will beheading Carlton (Jazz was supposed to build a guillotine, but he thought Will said "creatine" and just got a bunch of protein supplements, so Will did it himself) and exiling Nicky to Compton. Then Geoffrey officially crowns Will Fresh Prince of Bel Air, except during the whole ceremony, Will is just staring at Uncle Phil like "you're next."
Test audiences thought it was too dark, so they switched it to him turning out the lights in an empty house.

13305660, And where does Baby Nicky fall into this? Posted by Marauder21, Wed Jan-09-19 02:05 PM
As the natural born son of Uncle Phil, he should be ahead of Will in the line of succession.

13305674, Phil was the Judge AND Jury Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Jan-09-19 02:14 PM
|
13305685, He was more like Boromirs family in LotR and just a steward of Bel Air Posted by calij81, Wed Jan-09-19 02:29 PM
Until Will, the rightful and true heir of Bel Air could destroy the ring in West Philly and take his place as ruler.
|

Carlton is the prince of Yamacraw, NC

Will was a year older than Carlton = Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

|
13306025, Because he's not Fresh, and that's not the title of the show. Posted by Cold Truth, Thu Jan-10-19 06:09 PM
|
13306037, Because he was the *Fresh* (meaning "new") Prince... Posted by flipnile, Thu Jan-10-19 07:08 PM
According to this, Nephew can only be Prince when the King's Brother is the father of the Nephew. When it's the King's Sister, they get nothing.

Will was just so much fresher than Carlton that he had him replaced as Prince. Carlton used to be the prince, then he fell out of favor. All he had to do is take care of the "Aunt Viv" problem for Uncle Phil. You can see the foreshadowing in this "happy" family photo: https://s3.r29static.com//bin/entry/aa2/720x864,85/1768850/image.jpg
Shit got handled: https://static.tvgcdn.net/feed/1/311/thumbs/11645311_1300x1733.jpg
The show ended before we got to see the epic battle for the throne (and inheritance) after Uncle Phil passed (RIP, brother).
