Nope my thoughts exactly
Nope my thoughts exactlyHere's a new conspiracy ... Meghan is planning a relaunch in the UK just as a Judge in the US wants to see Harry's immigration file.
Coincidence?
The RF posted this on Instagram (in words as a caption) and honestly thought it was lovely. They just seem like such a lovely couple.Aw this is sweet. Speech starts at 1:40 mark
Slightly OT but I've been wondering this lately and then came across this thread. Say something happened Charles and William overnight... would George succeed the throne? Would there be a regency until he turned 18 (maybe Anne, Beatrice, Edward etc)? I can't imagine it would skip along to the next adult, which i guess would be Harry?
George would inherit the throne, and a regent would be appointed. This would most likely be Harry, as next in line. If he is considered not domiciled in the UK due to living in the US, it would go to Andrew.Slightly OT but I've been wondering this lately and then came across this thread.

In fairness they have presented a long marriage (by modern BRF standards)She lost me at 150%.
This is such a brilliant theory. I’d never have thought of it that way, but the way you explained it makes so much sense! I find this kind of thing fascinating, and maybe the fact that you’re not British gives you the “distance” to see it so clearly.I have a theory - and you can of course shoot it down in flames because I am not British! I think when Henry VIII changed the state religion, he simply stepped into the role of Pope. Other countries where the Protestant faith took hold were reacting against the massive wealth of the Catholic Church, much of it milked from ordinary superstitious people who were obsessed with saints and relics in a way that was more pagan than Christian. So while the European Protestant churches went on a very austere and puritan course, Henry VIII took all the bling and pomp and ceremony for himself. The monarch became the head of the state religion, and while attendance at church declined and the everyday life of Britain is secular, the monarchy kept up all the holiness and devotion - I noticed this in particular while watching the State Opening of Parliament. That's so like Mass!
The lying in state of QE2 really reminded me of a medieval pilgrimage for a saint. I dont mean this as a slight in any way - I was very impressed by it!
So that's where I think the adoration comes from - the need to adore and venerate.
QE2 amended the regency act to appoint Prince Philip who wasn’t even in the line of succession. Under the current circumstances, I doubt parliament would take much persuading to skip Harry and Andrew to someone like Edward.George would inherit the throne, and a regent would be appointed. This would most likely be Harry, as next in line. If he is considered not domiciled in the UK due to living in the US, it would go to Andrew.
While it skipping straight to Andrew may have been enough for them to consider an updated Regency Act, I'm not sure Harry's dramatics are sufficient to justify new legislation on the matter, so I think it's just a case of fingers crossed William's healthy and not keen on dangerous sports.
What photos?Think it's true. The photos don't help his cause.
It isn't uncommon in history for a widowed queen to be Regent for their child. Mary of Guise ruled Scotland as regent when Mary Queen of Scots was a child and then Queen of France. She dealt with stroppy nobles, religious upheaval and ongoing war with England; today's constitutional monarchy would be much easier.QE2 amended the regency act to appoint Prince Philip who wasn’t even in the line of succession. Under the current circumstances, I doubt parliament would take much persuading to skip Harry and Andrew to someone like Edward.

Probably because there aren't many positive stories about Harry to share given he's constantly doing stupid things publicly and it gets reported, vs William who shows up, cuts the ribbon and goes home? I don't think W is "nice" (frankly as a King you need to have some bite) but you have to wonder what an exhausting bloody nightmare Harry must be behind the scenes given how chaotic he comes across publicly even AFTER the PR people have taken action and cleaned up some of the mess.Yes. And while I like both couples, i’m not keen on William but then, I don’t hate him… I just don’t think he’s as nice as the media make him
out to be! I do think they push a narrative and share far more positive stories about him than Harry, purely because he’s the future King. It’s not personal to Harry. It’s just Williams status in life. I don’t get why some on the threads act like Kate and Wills are Prince Charming and Cinderella. I mean how many on here wouldn’t be surprised if they announced a divorce in a few years. I wouldn’t be! It must be so bloody hard to keep that “perfect couple” act up!
Imagine having to accept one's lot as being rich without doing any work for it and having a pampered life from birth.Prince Edward has really become steady Eddie.
I think he was a bit lost in his 20/30's but then he married Sophie, accepted his lot and found his peace and position.
Given this amended Act then why are people still thinking it would default to Harry or Andrew and not Catherine/Ann/Edward/the corgis/literally anyone breathing but those two?QE2 amended the regency act to appoint Prince Philip who wasn’t even in the line of succession. Under the current circumstances, I doubt parliament would take much persuading to skip Harry and Andrew to someone like Edward.
