MartinC Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 7 hours ago, DCSaints_fan said: So its only immediate family? I thought also that they basically get to decide who counts. So Harry and Meghan aren't "royals" anymore. Similar to Edward VIII. But assuming they don't do this, and also speaking only of the paternal line, at what point does "legitimate issue" of the younger sons cease being "royal"? I understand that back in the middle ages France did some pretty crazy stuff, finding a male heir in a distant cousin, to prevent the King of England from inheriting the throne, which kicked off the 100 years war ... The be a ‘royal’ you have to be a blood relation to the reigning monarch. The whole real life ‘game of thrones’ stuff that saw the crown change hands through history was related to various claims to the throne based on who was the closest living relation and the claims of various branches of families. Harry is still part of the royal family but doesn’t have any official role anymore. It’s complex and involves who gets money from the crown (it’s called the civil list and Harry is no longer on it). I’m actually very uninterested personally in the whole current institution of the royal family. It’s more the role of monarchy in history and the impact on foreign policy and its effects that interests me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Skins Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Meghan (and Harry) CHOSE not to be Royals, so as to make money off their titles without actually having to do the work. And thank you to all my American friends for giving those parasites a home. Good luck though when she does eventually run for the Democrat nomination for President. WE aren't having her back!! Okay I guess that might be "political commentary", give me a break considering what day it is today?!

Starry Plough Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Ireland, or The Republic of Ireland, isn’t a part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland (or the 6 occupied counties, depending on who you talk to), as the name suggests, is. Ireland is part of the British Isles, however. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) My corgi made me get up at 4am yesterday so he could watch the coronation. I don’t hold that against you Brits though. Lovely people. I hope, when the time comes, that we can take you peacefully without too much disruption. Same applies to any Canadians who might be reading this. edit: I don’t actually recall ever seeing any Canadians on here.

Starry Plough Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 If speaking casually about a geographical location I’ve no issue with someone saying GB. I was, however, retorting more to the comment that “Ireland is part of Great Britain”, which it isn’t. We’ll leave it at that though as it’s not the thread for it. Regards Dan selling, however, it honestly can’t come soon enough as the process, whilst I appreciate was never going to be an overnight thing, has become tediously drawn out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
