To: Always Right
I think Ivan thinks it is a clear signal the Queen plans to bypass Charles as King. I didn't realize the Queen had any say in this. I always thought there was a predetermined order of succession. Shows you how much I follow royalty!

I was under the impression the wedding announcement caught everyone on the hop - Her Majesty, the Prime Minister, etc. I think this is indicative of Her Majesty's disapproval.

I thought that there had been some parlimentery proceedings after William and Mary that defined the succession???
To: MadIvan
I was always under the impression that Charles really wasn't interested in being King in the first place.

What some people will do to get out of spending a few bucks on a present. I hear she was even offered a guarantee of catching the bouquet, but no deal.

BTW... Cool home page Ivan!!!

Theoretically the succession is to go to the nearest Protestant heir. However, there is a precedent in which the heir can be designated in a will.

I was rather hoping Charles would stand aside, eventually.
BTW, William could take the throne as King Arthur, if he so chose.

I just realized I missed a golden opportunity from the headline, but I'll throw it out there now...

I'm sure it has to do with British Royalty Rules and all...but can you think of a worse mother-in-law?

Thank you so much for the post Ivan. I read/heard that the "marriage" will not be "legal" as the Royals must be married in a Church according to the Marriage Act of 1832(36?) Have you heard anything about that? Best regards,
To: fishtank
I'll hafta be honest and say neither one does anything for me. :)

"I didn't realize the Queen had any say in this."
The Queen actually has one hell of a lot of power. It is just traditional that she does not exercise that power.
She is Commander in Chief of the military forces and the civil government answers to her. She has the power to dissolve the government and call for elections and she can simply fire the Prime Minister if she so desires.

I think you mean the act of 1834. Theoretically it isn't legal if it isn't done in a church.
