Proposal for Equal Primogeniture Succession

[Roslyn]

Oh, Lucien! We've only just wandered off the track and it's doubtful we would have gone any further.

ETA Well, much further, anyway.

It's quite easy to drift off topic when you're responding to what someone else has said. No need to reign in that quickly.

I've been watching some of the debate on BBC Parliament. The usual politically correct nonsense from the typical suspects. Very few MPs have clearly thought about this in any depth at all.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is always good to listen to. He's a bit of a throwback to a bygone age, but he's a superb speaker in the Commons.

What an interesting piece, CarolynHarris.
To be honest, this is the first time I've looked at the current Bill through the prism of time, so to speak.

Once question from your wonderful article though. You wrote: "Crown Bill does not address the inheritance of the Duchy of Lancaster, which provides the monarch with his or her personal income." I'm not sure I understand what the issue is with the Duchy of Lancaster: isn't the Monarch (regardless of gender) automatically the Duke of Lancaster? If I am not mistaken, that should remain unchanged in any case.

I personally have the feeling their most likely going to hold off on this until its' "essential" in their opinion. Alot of events like this most people dont like to mess around with changing if they can help it.

Hear, hear! Loved that little walk down the lane of British royal history! :)

Yeah, that was an interesting read.

The process to change the succession in Canada has begun. The Federal governments position is that they do not need to consult the provinces and they have not done so. This could get complicated if the provinces decide they should have been consulted and launch a court challenge. Quebec is already saying they should have been consulted.
