1: The "Windsor" knot, which should have been used ona rope about "Wally's" bloody neck, then the Duke's for good measure!

2:Queens, later the descriptive "drag" was added, but that's another story.

3:Credit, or the credit card. Is he the founder of Goldman-Sachs?

I don't know how to answer this one, really...

1) Your answer is probably the Windsor knot, but that would be incorrect. A lot of people think it was named for Edward VIII, but it was actually named for his dad, George V (George was also the monarch who changed the royal house's name from Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha to Windsor).

Edward VIII rarely used the Windsor knot, he favoured the four-in-hand, and achieved the wide look by using heavier silks and fabrics. (Sources: 1, 2)

2) Your answer is probably queens, but my understanding is that in the Shakespearean days women were played by adolescent boys who had not yet hit puberty. Known as "boy players". Nothing royal about that, though.

3) The shopping buggy (or cart).

1. Windsor Knot;
2. Thespians: they acted like 'queens'; the drag appellation was a result of the chariots;
3. Shopping Cart; the lack of purchasing may also be attributed to the 'parking meters' installed some 30 years previous.

Cheers

1. Well, for those of a scholastic bent, the knot he invented was actually the Double Windsor. So called because it looped twice rather than the single loop of a standard Windsor knot.

2. Queens, later Drag Queens

3. The humble shopping cart

4. How the hell is it that I go away on holidays for a week and I am STILL in the lead?? What the hell are you people doing. I mean I am absolutely hanging for that liquid gold and all, but come on, put up a fight for gods sake. Bloody hell, the way you lot are acting, anybody would think you were Canadians or something.
