    In London. Keen but lazy.

    The rules to allow a woman to become next in line over a younger brother only came in after Prince George was born. So Anne would have been skipped over to allow Andrew to be next in line. Oh dear.

    Fortunately William and Harry have enough children between them that it's mightily unlikely that Andrew will ever get the top job.

    Now I like the idea of a king Andrew - that being my name.  :)
    Hells Bells I hope that doesn't mean you will want me to curtsy before replying to any of your posts @rowlandscastle444 If I even attempted to do that, I'd never get upright again and you would simply have to step over ( or on ? ) me   :D:D

    What's happening with high grove now? Is that just one of his spare, tax payer funded, homes?
    Highgrove on its own generates an income by paying visitors and merchandising. It’s the King’s private property.

    I'm not the demanding sort. Just receipt of a bar of chocolate will do.

    That's not what William said.
    it's what Harry said. 
    Yes but he was born to always be second, less important and his perspective is twisted by that position. Which is my point. No one could tolerate the difference that arises purely due to an accident of timing. All the second in lines have gone loco in the last few generations - Margaret, Andrew, Harry. Pity poor Charlotte. And the first in line's only job is produce children. They serve no actual function beyond procreation. Which is how you end up with Diana and the appalling way she was treated (and behaved). It's anachronistic (to the point of prehistoric), absurd and cruel, it's designed to fail and for what purpose? So we can pat ourselves on the back about the empire we used to own? To convince ourselves that tourists love to see some frowsty old bloke in a shiny coach? To give us an excuse to get the bunting out now and then? Surely we can think of something better to use as an excuse for cake?

    I can probably find you a receipt for a bar of chocolate. The actual chocolate might be more difficult

    Dear King Andrew,  I do actually make my own chocs ( far better than bought stuff ) so I will bear your Royal Command in mind  :D

    I'm not a monarchist. But there are some things about Charlie I respect (such as his views about the current governments immigration plans) , and there are also some things about him which I view positively because they will hasten the end of the monarchy (such as the fact we know about his views about the current governments immigration plans).

    Long may he meddle and enrage the gammons.
