Since you seem well versed, I'll ask you: Why did Edward abdicate to marry what's her name? Wasn't he required to? Just trying to get the scoop on this Royal stuff.
The bottom line will be that Charles WILL NOT get the throne unless Mama dies tomorrow.
I wonder what Charles' grandmother (Queen Mum) would say about this union. Liz's opinion means very little to me. She just controls the purse and gets to boss people around and not much more.
Perhaps Charles will wise up, go by SOME rules, and declare that Young William the future king.
