Here is a link to the story appearing today in the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/theroyalfamily/8854981/Centuries-old-rule-of-primogeniture-in-Royal-Family-scrapped.html. I have to say that it is about time! Also, it has been recommended that the law banning the spouse of a Roman Catholic from ascending the Throne be eliminated. Again, it is about time! |

If we are to retain a viable Royal Family we have to remove some of the antiquated rules and customs that we Brits seem to revel in! God help the country if we ever go to a Republic!!! Andy |
