And that's true regardless of how "willing" the girl may be.
Just sayin'...
LOL
I haven’t listened to Howie Carr in a while. Didn’t he move to Florida? Is the woman with the irritating voice taking his place?
Since you seem to follow them more than I do, can you tell me how Camilla Parker Bowles (a commoner) gets to dress up like Charles?
The world is going to hell in a hand basket and these English Twits are worried about Garters and silly little outfits with feathers in their hats.
The question is does Prince Albert like it in the can?
ISWYDT!.......................
Who’s the guy with the elf ears?
Maybe they should just lock the creepy uncle in the attic and be done with it 🤪
because the Queen granted her the right which is why they were wearing those outfits. if you are born into it you automatically get the garter whoop de doo...but others have to be granted by the Queen
Kate has not been granted that right.
Let me know when Andrew is accused of committing any crime. It hasn’t happened yet.
Pedophilia runs strong in the royal family as well as the UK Elites. Been that way for centuries. Yet the taxed to death surfs tolerate this criminal behavior.
UK citizens deserve exactly whom they put in power.
Keep Prince William - dump the sexual perv weirdo.
Was Andy a guest of Epstein? The appearance is enough to keep him at arms distance
Yes, the rules are very strict - the succession is laid down by Acts of Parliament - laws passed by Parliament. Parliament can alter the order of succession - the Monarch can not.
In fact, it's not just the British Parliament that would have to agree - the Parliaments of every single one of the (at the moment) of the other 14 Commonwealth Realms would have to also pass laws to change the succession - and in Australia, the six state Parliaments would also need to do so - so you need twenty separate Parliaments agreeing to change the succession.
Relatively minor change was made to the laws of succession quite recently - to end male-preference primogeniture (where younger brothers took precedence over their older sisters) in future generations, and to remove the disqualification for marrying a Roman Catholic - and that took four years to happen, because of the need for all these Parliaments to take action.
Under current law, Charles will become King the instant the Queen dies. He could choose to abdicate in William's favour, but he would still be King until the Instrument of Abdication takes effect.
The Queen cannot change this herself. About the only situation in which it might change is if the Queen and the Prince of Wales both made it known that the Prince of Wales did not want to be King. In that cases, given enough time, I think it is likely that the Commonwealth Parliaments would agree to pass a law allowing that - but it's not something that is likely to happen right now - perhaps if Charles developed a serious illness (and remember he is in his seventies) it might happen.
Thanks NM, I knew you would have the facts as they are. I knew the Queen couldn’t just up and change the order of succession on her own. I had no idea what it would take to make such a change.
Personally, I hope Elizabeth can carry on for a good while longer. I admire the Lady.
I hope things are going well in Oz. Y’all had a tough time with the COVID lockdowns. Hope you get back to normal soon.
Yes, just think—if they would only abolish their monarchy, they could have free and fair elections to select wonderful leaders like we have! (eye roll)
Nope; the Parliament makes the rules about succession. The order is established according to bloodline, and if there were to be changes, it would require an act of Parliament.
The Royal Family does not "rule" the UK. Their function in modern times is diplomatic, in many regards like our State Department and Ambassadors, and also cultural, as patrons of many arts, industries and charities, and in honorary leadership of many orders of the military. The Sovereign is also the head of the Church of England in much the same way that our President is Commander-in-Chief of our military; no one expects our President to get into the trenches; and their headship of the CoE is likewise a consultant relationship.
Harry has always been in the line of succession to the throne. Before William had children he was number 3. Now he is 7; and will move up to 6 when the Queen passes, unless Parliament decides to remove him. Which would reignite an international fight about race.
