Who could possibly put 4 HRH on their car?
The Queen?
The official limousines in which she travels famously have no number plates. However, she could give the number plate to Prince Harry or as a gift to a fellow monarch.
A mock-up of how a Royal carriage would look with the personalised numberplate 4 HRH. The regal-sounding number plate is one of the star attractions of Afzal Kahn’s prestigious registration numbers which includes the most expensive number plate in the UK: F1.
The tradition of registration numbers being adopted as status symbols by the famous and wealthy dates back to 1903, when numberplates were introduced in Britain.
The first issued in London was A1, registered to the 2nd Earl Russell, who was so keen to acquire it that he camped out for the entire night before its release.
He sold it four years later, but should perhaps have hung on to it. A1 is now worth more than £1 million and is rumoured to be owned by the brother of the Sultan of Brunei.
The sporting world has not lagged behind when it comes to vehicular one-upmanship, with Wayne Rooney buying the number plate WAZ 8 for his Aston Martin.
MAG 1C (Paul Daniels) and H41R DO (hairdresser Nicky Clarke) are more blatant advertisements for their owners' talents.
As for David Beckham, he has already acquired DB 7, but perhaps Victoria will persuade him that 4 HRH is the only registration suitable for Britain's 'second royal family'.
Whoever the eventual winner is, the prospect of buying 4 HRH should get bidders going like nodding dogs on a parcel shelf. That, at least, is the prediction of Damian Lawson, marketing manager for the personalised registrations department of the DVLA.
'Last year, the registration 4 HRH went for more than £400,000 at a private auction, so who knows what we'll get for this,' he says.
No Damian – that is incorrect!
The number 4 HRH has been here with Afzal Kahn for quite some time!
Sir Alan Sugar, the son of a Hackney tailor, probably best known for fronting the reality show "The Apprentice". His personal number plate, AMS 1, can be seen on his Rolls-Royce in the programme’s opening sequence.
Would he be suitable for the 4 HRH number plate?
He may wish to pass it on to his wife or the winner of the next show…
The smart money though, may go on an Arab Sheikh. The recession proof United Arab Emirates have plenty of discerning Sheikhs who have purchased top of the range Project Kahn vehicles so watch this space…
These aficionados of 'cherished numbers' –  a British euphemism for what the Americans call 'vanity plates'  -  will be selling for many years to come..
