I'm not up on British rules of royalty, but the fact that Edward abdicated the throne means, I think, that his decendents no long have claim to the throne, does it not?

Edward abdicated 2 years before this woman was shuttled off to Ohio and switched identites with a deceased child there for records purposes.

Says she was born June 3, 1934. In England. Two years before the abdication...

Is she saying she was 'stolen' prior to this, which is why the throne passed to the uncle (her parents thought she was dead)? It seems to be a little late for such a revelation. Or did she just get off the phone with Miss Cleo?

But as the only surviving female close relative, (illegitmate, of course) could she have had been Queen?

I think there is some soft of a Royal Rule that if the mistress/future wife is not Royal or fo British Birth she could not hold title.

I guess you could say that she is a British Citizen since she was born in England if the mistress was in London at the time.

Don't think so. I think the present QEII could abdicate her throne if favor of Chuckie if she didn't wish to sit there till her death.

But hey, what do I know. My familiy left that quaint little island back in the 1760's.
