rotary Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 If the child grows up to be a transvestite, can he be both a King and a Queen? If he is gay can he "marry" another man ? Wow....so many questions................................ The sick side of me laughs at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealth Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I hate all the hype over this and how people from all around the world were getting so excited over a family/baby that they will probably never meet and who couldn't give a shit about them.

bkk_mike Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 James is more likely to turn up as a middle name. Simply because if he's James, he'd be James VII (and all the English people will be going - when were James II - James VI ?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love French wine and cheese I would have much preferred it if they had managed to export their revolution more successfully We were the first in the world, England in 1651, France didn't catch up till 1789. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDog Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I am far from a royalist but good on them. It is BIG news and VERY important to a great number of people. The royal family generates huge income and many aussies make a particular point of visiting the old dart to view the palace etc. The royal family also do some damn good charity work. I have no problem with those that have privilege simply by birth, as long as they do good. Will and Kate are no exception, they have been fine upstanding members of royalty. Side note: Kate looked so hot when she had a bit of weight, before the marriage. But getting ready for the wedding she lost a lot of weight and started to look like a stick insect and for me, lost some of her sexuality. Until she puts her a bit of weight back on I have to just fantasise of other more 'womanly' curved young lasses. Kudos to Will and Kate in their hour of happiness.

7by7 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The crown estates are numerous and generate much income. How did the Windsor's come to own such estates? They don't own them, or to be precise; it. Crown Estate In the United Kingdom, the Crown Estate is a property portfolio owned by the Crown. Although still belonging to the monarch and inherent with the accession of the throne, like the Crown Jewels it is no longer the private property of the reigning monarch and cannot be sold by him or her, nor do the revenues from it belong to the monarch personally. In 1760 George III surrendered the revenue of the Crown Estate to HM Treasury, but in exchange he lost all responsibility for: the cost of the civil government the national debt accrued by previous monarchs, and his own personal debt. In return, he received an annual grant known as the Civil List. Traditionally, each subsequent monarch has agreed to this formality as part of the ritual of their accession: although they no longer have any actual right to revenue from the Crown Estate as they no longer govern in person. That role has been replaced by the de facto authority of Parliament. However, from 1 April 2012, under terms of the Sovereign Grant Act 2011, the Civil List was abolished, and in future the monarch will receive from the Treasury a stipulated percentage of the Crown Estate's annual net revenues (currently set at 15%). The Crown Estate is managed by an independent organisation headed by the Crown Estate Commissioners. The surplus revenue from the Estate is paid each year to HM Treasury. The Crown Estate is formally accountable to Parliament, to which it makes an annual report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) James is more likely to turn up as a middle name. Simply because if he's James, he'd be James VII (and all the English people will be going - when were James II - James VI ?). No he wouldn't; he'd be James III of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Commonwealth countries which have the monarch as their head of state and James VIII of Scotland. Some of us English do know our history; maybe some Scots don't! Of course, whatever names he is given now, he could easily choose another when he becomes king.
