Royal News.........














While sojourning in the States, there is very little coverage of things British or Royal......... Americans ask lots of questions about the role of the Queen and they know about Princess Diana - but that is about it. Try explaining to Americans that the Queen is the Canadian Head of State........

So - here is some Royal news........the eldest grandchild of the Queen (the son of Princess Anne) got married to a ........Canadian. Yay colonies........ Gotta love the antiquated laws that apply to the bride. She renounced her Roman Catholic faith and joined the Church of England to marry. Under centuries-old British law, a royal who marries a Catholic cannot take the throne. He is 11th in line, so he likely would never ascend to the throne - but it still is a law in need of change.........
