“Patricia of Connaught is an interesting personality. She was born into the most powerful monarchy in the world, the British, during her youth she rejected several marriage proposals that included, from heir princes to grand dukes, but in the end she chose to marry a commoner, Alexander Ramsay, and at an advanced age for the time, 33 years old. During his lifetime, he followed the reigns of several British monarchs, as well as world transformations.” - Submitted by cenacevedo15

’…….William…..change the line of succession’

I hate to disappoint this anon, but William cannot change, ban, cut the line of succession. It’s not in the remit of the Monarch. 

Only Parliament can do something about the line of succession.

And even then they can’t cut or change the line. In ye old times, this conundrum was resolved with a visit to the tower for the final, deadly solution.

However, even with that final solution which isn’t an option anymore, parliament can change or add caveats to criteria to skip over undesirable candidates in the line. They did it to bring in George 1 of Hanover - skipped 50 people to do this - and 3 times to get rid of the Monarch - (forced or coerced) abdication  of Empress Matiilda in 1148, James VI and II in 1688, Edward VIII in 1936.

According to a recent published opinion by a constitutional lawmaker, all honours, titles, styles held by members of the royal family are given by royal prerogative even when they are peerage ones or birthright.

As a result, they can be removed by royal prerogative which can’t be challenged in a court of law. In effect the monarch is above the law. 

The expert concludes that Charles or William can strip Harry of everything except his place in the line of succession. And by everything, he means HRH, Prince, Duke, Earl, Baron, RKVO and his status as a prince of the UK and effectively reduce him to the status of an ordinary citizen without any privilege except that which they earn by their own merits. 

I’d be shocked if Charles stripped Harry. I think William will do it, but he might not go far enough. He might reduce him to a lesser rank/ status as happened to HRH Princess Patricia of Connaught in 1919 who was demoted to Lady Ramsey.

Thank you anon, and despite all these facts Charles won’t do anything. The man doesn't even have the balls to remove them from the working royals page.

SYMBOLISM at Princess Isabella of Denmark’s confirmation on 30 April 2022:

Isabella wearing Queen Alexandrine’s Pearl and Diamond Brooch – a christening gift from her grandmother, Queen Margrethe II, who herself had received the brooch as a christening gift from her grandmother, Queen Alexandrine, in 1940

Parallels in the floral arrangements at Isabella’s christening in 2007 and her confirmation in 2022, respectively – both services held in the Royal Chapel of Fredensborg Palace

Crown Prince Frederik in blue, Isabella in white (as is tradition for female confirmants in Denmark) and Crown Princess Mary in red formed the colours of the tricolore, the French national flag – possibly in tribute of Isabella’s beloved French grandfather, Prince Henrik, who passed away in 2018 🇫🇷

Isabella wearing the gold cuff bracelet that she was gifted by Queen Margrethe II on her fifth birthday. The tradition of gifting female descendants gold bracelets was introduced by Isabella’s great-great-grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught, who gifted her only daughter, Princess Ingrid of Sweden (later Queen of Denmark), a bracelet (identical to one worn by Margaret and her sister Patricia) in 1915. Ingrid since carried on the tradition and so did her three daughters Queen Margrethe II, Princess Benedikte and Queen Anne Marie

Isabella wearing her mother’s Argyle Pink halo stud earrings from the Danish jeweller Hartmann’s. The diamonds stem from the Argyle Diamond Mine in Australia, her mother’s birth country 🇦🇺
