Finally . . . first-born female children of the Royal Family are now on the verge of gaining an equal footing with their male siblings when it comes to the Succession to the Throne. 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!

Totally agree. 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!!!
