If you look at how religon as torn our country apart. Throughout our history (I'm refering specifically to CofE/Catholic relations). It makes perfect sense. And as has been already stated, blame parliment NOT the royal family past or present. In addition to this the reigning Monarch is the head of the Church of England. It is not simple to just do away with such things. There are far greater injustices than this in the world. Why do we have to negate our own culture and traditions to prove we are not discriminating. |

The Queen performs a range of important duties, such as summoning, proroguing and dissolving Parliament and giving Royal Assent to legislation passed by the UK Parliament, the Scottish Parliament or the Northern Ireland Assembly. She could change it if she wanted to |

“Most of us have learned to acknowledge and respect the ways of other cultures and religions, but what matters even more is the way in which those from different backgrounds behave towards each other in everyday life.” The criteria required of a candidate of Royal marriage are that he or she be born in wedlock, of a marriage contracted in accordance with the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, and that he or she not be a Roman Catholic or have married one. Hypocritical or what! |
