"I've never listened to so much rubbish, it's about time he resigned he's totally out of touch with the populous "

I don’t think it’s a job you can easily resign from. The only time that’s happened in the past was Edward VIII. The act of abdication dissolved his accession to the throne and because of previous pretenders it also dissolved his line. By Chuckles resigning or abdicating he and his line goes. That rules out William and his kids. Henry and has kids. Oh let’s see who’s next in line. Oh yes it’s the former Prince Andrew former everything's except for being 8th in line to the Throne.

I get some people don’t like Chuck and pine for his former English Rose wife. Who died when on a night out with her boyfriend of the time. However you should be careful what you wish for

If Charles abdicated the throne would still pass to William. Edward didn't have kids so the throne passed to his brother.

Only bad health is likely to urge him to resign. It was recently shown that Charles did scores more public events this year than his son and heir.

Having come to the job so late, and being in less than optimal good health, he's making the most of what time he has.

If The Queen was Fortnum and Masons Charles and Camilla are TKMaxx

He'd be wise to abdicate and let William and Kate make a new start

There's a religious doctrine which the Queen believed that only God could decide when she abdicated if Charles believes the same thing he's going to die as king

Quite correct Edward VIII didn’t have children. The decision was taken by parliament that there could be no interruption or contest to the succession at any time in the future. Hence the decision was taken. That when a crowned or uncrowned Monarch abdicates they abdicate their lineage.

In the past there have been pretenders to the throne and a decision was made that only the direct linage of William and Mary of the Protestant faith could succeed. Edward later the Duke of Windsor threw a spanner in the works. The decision was taken and approved by both Houses of Parliament that abdication means abdicating your line.

So if you want King Andy. Then Chuckles only has to step down. It’s a constitutional Monarchy not who you think should get the job.

If Charles abdicates, Parliament will again have to sign off where the line of succession shifts to. As that line is already there, Parliament is unlikely to shift it anywhere else. It's just rubber stamped to William. There is zero risk of it going to paedo Andy, as he is not currently in the line of succession high enough with William and Harry and their crotch-goblims preceding him.

You really should read the act of abdication and even perhaps the parliamentary debates that preceded it. Of course Parliament could do whatever it considers correct. It would take a deep parliamentary debates they could of course reset all the rules. However that would be challenged in the Supreme Court. Why wouldn’t it be. Parliament has set the precedent and laud down the ground rules for future abdications.

More likely they would dissolve The Charles linage and pass emergency legislation removing Andrew from the succession. Then the present Duke of Edinburgh would succeed.

You don’t get to choose your next Monarch that decision is already made. Being Monarch isn’t a democratic choice it’s birthright. Get over it

Easy answer pass a law declaring the Kingdom’s of Great Britain a republic. Let the constituent countries decide if they wish to remain part of the new Republic. Then elect a president. Then you have a say in who the head of State is and you don’t have to make sh@t to fit your argument

They are the tourist traps,and where you see most congregation.

Edward VIII is not the only monarch to abdicate.

William would still be next in line should Charles abdicate. "

The line if succession was established during the reign of William and Mary.

The only abdications before the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was established in 1707 were

John Balliol (King of Scots, 1296): Forced to abdicate by Edward I of England during the First War of Scottish Independence.

Edward II (King of England, 1327): Deposed and forced to abdicate by his wife, Isabella, and her lover, Roger Mortimer.

Richard II (King of England, 1399): Forced to abdicate by his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV), after being captured.

Mary, Queen of Scots (Queen of Scots, 1567): Compelled by Scottish lords to abdicate in favor of her infant son, James VI.

James II (King of England & Scotland, 1688): Fled England during the Glorious Revolution, leading Parliament to declare the throne vacant and deem him to have abdicated.

Edward VIII (King of the UK, 1936): Voluntarily abdicated to marry American divorcée Wallis Simpson, as the marriage was deemed unsuitable by the government and Church of England.

As you can see the others were forced abdications. They were also outwith the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom was established in 1707 which was different from the union if Crowns. The reason the succession was set during the reign of William and Mary was to establish in law where the succession would go and the faith of the country. In fact catholics were barred from the succession. When Edward threw a spanner in the works there was no law established in the UK dealing with an abdication. Hence the linage question came up. Although Edward had no children at the time of the abdication. He could have subsequently had one. It was established by parliament that when abdicating you abdicate your line. So there can be no pretenders to the throne.

It’s easy to check. The Hansard records of the debates are available as is the act of abdication.

Personally I couldn’t care less. I have been and always will be a republican.

However, can’t believe the amount of sh@t monarchists make up to further their point of view. If you are correct about William succeeding on Charles’ abduction. Please point out to me the little piece of law that makes it so.

I think you will find that the United Kingdom (which included Ireland, now only Northern Ireland) didn’t officially come into being until 1st January 1801. The 1701 Act of Union which you refer to is when the Scottish and English parliaments and crowns merged to form Great Britain.

Although Edward had no children at the time of the abdication. He could have subsequently had one. It was established by parliament that when abdicating you abdicate your line. So there can be no pretenders to the throne.

It’s easy to check. The Hansard records of the debates are available as is the act of abdication.

Personally I couldn’t care less. I have been and always will be a republican.

However, can’t believe the amount of sh@t monarchists make up to further their point of view. If you are correct about William succeeding on Charles’ abduction. Please point out to me the little piece of law that makes it so.

I think you will find that the United Kingdom (which included Ireland, now only Northern Ireland) didn’t officially come into being until 1st January 1801. The 1701 Act of Union which you refer to is when the Scottish and English parliaments and crowns merged to form Great Britain."

It came into being with the Treaty of Union 1706 and the acts of union 1707 ratified that treaty and was passed by the Scottish Parliament in March 1707 and ratified by the English Parliament shortly thereafter.

The Country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland came into being on the 1st of May 1707. You are quite correct although it contained Ireland at the time on the 3rd of May 1921 the country became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. When Ireland was partitioned.

The union of Crowns happened in 1603 when James VI of Scotland ascended the English throne as James I of England

To set the record straight, The King's Speech is written by the PM, setting out the government's legislative plans for the year ahead, typically delivered at the State Opening of Parliament.

When HM appears on TV at Christmas, it's known as the King's Christmas Message, which usually reviews aspects of the preceding year and ties in with the special spiritual time of year at Christmas.

The original OP's message was clear despite the titular spelling error. Condescension is unnecessary and often has the opposite effect of its intention in highlighting the inadequacies of its originator.

I was merely clarifying the important difference between The King's speech in Parliament and The King's Christmas Address, not criticising, far from it. There's a big difference. My comment had a genuine purpose in helping others, not to bolster an apparent flagging ego.

Perhaps we can now move on to more cordial matters without further ado?

Surely the original OPs intention regarding the topic was also clear given its timing to coincide with the Christmas message. There was no need for you to mention the difference which in itself bordered on condescension. You then attempt to justify your input by insulting me.

I'm really unsure just why you should feel insulted, that wasn't my intention, indeed far from it. If that's how it came across, please accept my sincere apologies.

Reading your various Forum postings you do come across as a very temperamental character with much inherent angst. Perhaps it's time to address that issue - hate and angst are self-harming and futile emotions. Hope you accept this with its good and well intended sentiments, and on that note I can only offer my best wishes, Happy St. Stephen's Day. 😊

Actually, the King's Christmas Message is usually written by the monarch themselves, with input from their family and advisors, not by the government.

"

So if you want King Andy. Then Chuckles only has to step down. It’s a constitutional Monarchy not who you think should get the job."

That will NEVER happen. The Royals (or "The Firm" as they call themselves) have historically been tone-deaf regarding their public image, and very slow to react to change, but they recognise an existential threat when they eventually see one.

For obvious reasons they and their supporters within the Parliamentary establishment are now acutely aware of the declining popularity of monarchy as an institution, and in particular how much Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has contributed to that decline.

Their first priority has always been survival - the late Queen, in particular, was very adept at knowing when to draw back from a position and give ground. i remember the photo of nervous faces peering out of the window of Buck House during the outrage that followed their lack of reaction to Diana's death. That was hastily redressed following critical tabloid reaction.

i also recall after the fire at Windsor Castle their swift withdrawal from the original proposition that we, the taxpayers, should pay for its restoration, and the agreement that the Queen should pay tax (but it wasn't nearly enough, of course, and we did pay for most of it.)

There can be nobody who is now unaware that as far as their image is concerned, Mr M-B is now toxic, and rather than allow him to assume the throne, they will find a way to drive a bulldozer through whatever obstructions there may be.

About 150 years before the French revolutionary government deposed and executed Louis XVI on trumped up charges and English revolutionary government executed Charles I on trumped up charges. In neither case was it the end of the monarchy.

We have had 18 monarchs since and France, believe it or not, has had three kings and two emperors since. France finally became a republic in 1870 but only after the would-be Henri V refused the throne on the then government's terms.

May be Randy Andy should subtly get rid of the successions above him and proclaim himself King! He'd certainly liven things up again

I thought it was beautifully done. Like the call for being neighbourly and digital detox. The Ukrainian choir was a nice touch.

"Why do you listen to him then?

Was happy listening to radio 2, he came on, didn't realise he was going to talk nonsense for an hour. He's completely out of touch, time for a President

It was literally 10 minutes. Did you have it on repeat??"

I’m not sure it even made 10 mins. Who was he listening to for an hour as it clearly wasn’t Charles III… It was probably Alan Titchmarsh.

So - either someone listened to the wrong person… but thought they’d have a rant about the monarchy. Or they never listened to the speech and just made up a foolish timing, and thought they’d have a rant about the monarchy.

That was the head of two religions meeting.

He's also visited mosques and synagogue in attempt to bring people of different religions together.

I'm in no way religious, but its a positive step.

I am totally against the royals but a lot of people for whatever reason love them but they are totally out of touch with the general public asking to pull together is a bit much when sitting in a royal palace though

Best plan I find is not to watch it if you don't like the content.

It's something I would forget the next day, so I don't bother.

At least we still have choice. The alternative one if that's your thing.

Excellent point. I make a point of watching the King's Christmas Broadcast to the Nation. Always have done. No one is compelled to in the same way that I don't watch Ant 'n Dec, Strictly Come Prancing, Eastenders, Call the Midwife, Mrs Brown's Boys and all the other programmes I dislike.

You do realise that once "they" have put all the people you don't like into concentration camps, the next lot they will come for will be gay men?

Agree , I have no time for our current monarch , he’s a first degree hypocrite, so I don’t watch his Christmas message . I used to watch his mothers and if I’m around will watch his sons. But Tampax1 , never!

How strange there’s a crazy president in the USA who wants to be a king and another in Russia

Maybe that’s why he has had his firearms licence revoked.

My idea for a Black Mirror type episode would involve a naughty prince who is in so much trouble that the only way to not get prosecuted would to become monarch as you can’t prosecute a

HRH! But there’s a few of his family in succession first to get rid of.

I don’t believe he is any more of a hypocrite than his mother…or any of the rest of them. With the possible exception of the Andrew formerly known as prince.
