Poor old Elton had forgotten, or never knew, where Bernie Taupin got the original title. I think this was around the time the two weren’t talking, or he might have been warned.

Bernie had read “The once and future King”, TH White’s wonderful trilogy re-telling Mallory’s Arthurian legends.
“Candle in the wind” is the title of White’s third book, where the behaviour and adultery of the queen finally brings down the kingdom……..
Wooooops.
Shouldn't that be the behaviour of the future king . . . in this particular case
