Line of Succession

Given the latest announcement from over the pond, I wonder if the decision of Harry and MeAgain would/should affect the line of succession?

Currently, Harry is sixth in line to the throne, with his son being 7th, and whilst it seems unlikely that he would be called upon to serve, it would only take a family tragedy for the Cambridges to alter things drastically.

What do you think - would/should he inherit the throne under such circumstances? Indeed, would he even consider it?

Re: Line of Succession

Anything to do with Royalty is meaningless tripe. Speculation about meaningless tripe is futile.

Re: Line of Succession

No, he can't just give up his position, then rock up to the throne like nothing ever happened. Once you are out, you are out. His choice. And if it were to come to pass, there would be no point in having a royal family anyway - I mean, if something terrible happened that knocked out everyone else before him.

Unfortunately it isn't meaningless tripe even though it should be. The whole rotten lot of them should be dumped and replaced by an elected government with an elected president.

Consider it? He'd be at it like a rat up a drainpipe with Me-again pushing him from behind or more probably dragging him behind her.

Re: Line of Succession

I have an interest in the constitutional monarchy because of the differences between your government and ours, and find it educational. There are issues, lessons, and nuances that can be learned from in both directions.

As for Harry and Meghan, I find the details around their exploits highly embarrassing to both countries. Frankly, I would prefer it if the public would lose its fascination, so those two can disappear from the radar. I don't wish them ill will, I'm just tired of them seeking attention and acting as if they have some moral authority, while complaining about the press and exploiting their positions for wealth and fame.

Just know that if you find a skiff washed up on your western shores with Harry, Meghan, and James Corden in it, it was probably me who shoved them off

After yesterday’s retort to the Queen from them. I thought, you’ve done it now, you’re finished.

We don't want them back thank you, Surfermom.
I don't know who James Corden is?
Edited to say, I googled him & you can keep him too.

Harry and pregnant Meghan hit back and said: “We can all live a life of service‘.

(Actually, l think it’s being described as a ‘rebuke’ rather than a ‘retort’.)
