Change law of succession?
My biggest fear is that William and Kate's first born will be a girl and that they will saddle her with "Diana" as her first name. With that in mind [and I wouldn't wish that on any child--way to overwhelming a legacy] should Parliament revise things so a first-born is heir regardless of gender? Personally I'm praying William and Harry's children are all boys or at least lots of boys first, then a girl. I know the Di-groupies would be gaga for a little "Queen Diana" but I think that would send the poor kid straight to therapy with the overwhelming shadow of granny ever to reign over her!!
Also, what about Catholics? Currently most of the Duke of Kent's family are now Catholic and for the first time in so long a royal Dukedom will become not only NON-Royal, but Catholic on the current Duke's death. Should that change? Should the Sovereign be, as Prince Charles has suggested, the Defender of FathS and not "the Faith?"
