Default What If William falls in love with a Catholic girl...

William falls in love with a Catholic girl.

What does everyone think will happen, clearly if he married her he would lose his succession rights which would be catastrophic for the monarchy.

I can think of only 2 options ;

1]Parliament changes the law - the most likely option. However I think the palace would be worried about putting changes to the monarchy up for discussion in the House of Commons. What if a some controversial MPs demanded a greater say on the monarchy than the palace would want to allow them to have. It could be risky

2]The lady in question would have to change her religion.

What does everyone else think. Personally I think the law should be changed but I would understand if the royal family were cautious of going through parliament.
