I found this on Facebook, is there any truth to it????
Linz Staffz Look at your English Monarchy History... ** William Will Be King in the not too distant future and Charles know's this, unless Mummy changes the Charter before she dies** - The King Of England Can Not Marry A Divorcee..!! Therefore, for Charles to be King of England he will have to get the S.A.S to kill off Mr Parker-Bowles who is still alive therefore Camilla is a Divorcee and Charles will have to Legally Abdicate... Why do you think Prince William is having hands on experience on behalf of his Grand-Mother The Queen Of England... Easy Math's...
)) What do you all think??
This is wrong.
First of all, Charles is not in line to be the King of
England, he's in line to become the King of the
United Kingdoms of Great Britain and North Ireland, as well as the other Commonwealth Realms.
Second of all, the idea that Charles cannot become king because he married a divorced woman (or even is himself a divorced man) stems from a misunderstanding of the Abdication Crisis and the way Charles' marriage was established.
During the Abdication Crisis it was determined by the governments of the realms of Edward VIII that they would not accept as queen Wallis Simpson, the twice divorced American woman who was suspected of only being with Edward for the money and fame and of having affairs with other men, including significant German politicians who she was believed to have given British secrets to. They ultimately decided that Edward had to either abdicate or give up the idea of her as a wife. He chose the latter.
Wallis was not considered an acceptable woman as a consort. There were too many strikes against her, including her divorces, but personally I tend to think that one of the biggest was that Edward's family wasn't willing to accept her. Both his parents refused to meet her during their life times; had Edward had the support of the BRF on this one, things may have gone differently.
When Charles and Diana separated, then divorced, it was done with the approval - even insistence - of the Queen. When Charles announced that he wanted to marry Camilla it was already after she had been accepted into the family by his sons and his parents. The issue was brought up by the Queen's Privy Councils and was determined to be a non-issue. Thus, essentially the governments were saying that they would accept Charles as king even if he married a divorced woman. Had they not then Charles - and his sons - could have been removed from the succession.
As it stands now, Charles is and will remain the first in the line of succession - he will only lose that place on either his mother's death or his own, or in the very unlikely circumstances that he choses to convert to Catholicism. The training that William is receiving to be a monarch can be seen more as preparation for him to fill his father's current role - as the heir apparent to the throne - once his father fills the role of monarch. Charles has received the hands on tutorial for how to fulfill the role for many years now, and in many places acts for the Queen. What we're seeing is more Charles filling his mother's role so that she can do less owing to her age, and William filling the what has been Charles' role and learning how to one day do the big job when Charles dies.
