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.

Edward didn't have kids so the throne passed to his brother. | |||

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. Frankly IMHO the French had the right idea | |||

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 | |||

"Britain never was particularly great - it was a mistranslation of the French - and should read Big Brittany. (Grand Bretagne)" The name Great Britain refers to the primary island of the British Isles. I believe during the Stuart reign it was illegal to refer to it as such. | |||

Who died when on a night out with her boyfriend of the time. However you should be careful what you wish for 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. | |||

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 | |||

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. 😊 | |||

"The kings speech is written by the government anyway so I never listen to it" Actually, the King's Christmas Message is usually written by the monarch themselves, with input from their family and advisors, not by the government. Please see my previous post on the difference between The King's Speech and The King's Christmas Message - (Sometimes called the King's Christmas Address or Broadcast). | |||

" 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. | |||

"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. Frankly IMHO the French had the right idea. " 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. | |||

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. | |||

"I nearly chocked when he said that he met the fucking pope. What a waste of breath talking to him Fen,.on bastard " 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. | |||

"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. | |||
