Description
Unravelling the tangled relationship between Crown and State; Constitutional role of the monarchy a political hotter potato than everin wake of Charles/Camilla engagement; ONLY book on the subject to take into take into account that dangerous liaison; Only book to examine the key issues in accessible manner, for the general reader Author a leading expert in the field The announcement that the Prince of Wales was to marry his long-time inamorata Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles opened a can of constitutional worms. What would the bride's status be after the wedding? Would she - could she? - become queen when he succeeded to the throne? Should he succeed at all? Wouldn't it be better for all of us if the pair went off and lived quietly on a small island off Tasmania? Most pressing of all, would the marriage be legal anyway? The open can spewed forth not just the worms themselves, but a deep fog of arcane arguments about the Act of Settlement, how far the Marriage Act 1836 was amended by the Marriage Act 1949, what was the validity of the law of primogeniture, etc. etc. etc.
Into this fog Robert Blackburn shines a firm shaft of light which will illuminate the issues involved more accessibly than ever before, and suggests a prescription for dragging the monarchy into the modern age.
