Indeed it would be! He and the Duchess were “snuffed” together, thereby precipitating WWI.

Indeed.



Huckleberry's name was, as you would be aware, was a reference to the novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, (hence: indirectly related). Factoid: Hanna and Barbera almost named Yogi Bear "Huckleberry Bear".
