Note: (Perhaps?) originally titled "This Earth of Majesty" by Clarke, given the name "Refugee" via a title contest in F&SF, reprinted in New Worlds as "Royal Prerogative". Clarke's introduction in The Sentinel collection states 'Doubtless to the great confusion of anthologists, this story has been published under three other titles: "Royal Prerogative"," This Earth of Majesty" and "?". (Now, how do you index that?)'. LibraryThing states that it was 'Originally published as "?", it was later titled "This Earth of Majesty" and also "Royal Prerogative" by various editors. Clarke's own title is "The Refugee"'.
