I will say this much for the Queen. In her Royal capacity as the Head of the Church of England, she has never tried to "twist the rules" to accommodate herself or her family. You cannot say as much for many other representatives of the C of E, who to my mind, would change the rules to admit anyone, if they thought it would bring more people to the Church. |

That law was passed in 1772. I don't think anyone takes it seriously nowadays. We'll have to wait and see if Camilla and Charles marry, and maybe then we'll find out what they really believe. |

The Queen knows which side her bread is buttered. The royal family will go along with any current political opinion as long as it doesn't finacially disadvantage her and her lot. And while we are at it her lot are immigrants as well aren't they? Grandmother, Mary of Teck. Gt Grandmother, Alexandra of Denmark. Gt Gt Grandfather, Albert of Saxe Coburg Gotha Gt GT GT Grandmother Victoria of Saxe Coburg Gt GT GT GT Grandmother Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg Strelitz. So they are b/@@&y Germans and Austrians for the most part! My family aren't, why should we worskip the freeloaders! |

Agree with you Susan. I'm not in the slightest bit interested in the goings-on with the Royal family and don't particular bother with the Queens speech, but they are better than the alternatives. |
