Your knowledge of how British Royalty functions is broad and uncommonly deep. Are you in some manner a Subject of The Queen, I.e. British, Canadian or Kiwi?

I'm Australian by birth, but hold dual citizenship in both Australia and the United Kingdom. I'm a former protocol officer with the Royal Australian Navy (not my formal job, but one I was assigned at various times) and was required to learn all of this type of information as part of that job. And I'm a friend of the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of York (went to school with the former, and served alongside the latter on secondments to the UK) and that also makes you interested in this type of thing.

I hope I'd be interested anyway - this is all part of my country's (both of them) Constitutional law and I think informed citizens should have a decent familiarity with such things as they apply to their country. It's little different from an American understanding the Constitution of the United States - not everybody bothers, but sensible people do.
