Jean said My concern is that The Duke of Windsor couldn't keep the crown and marry a divorcee (Charles can), Margaret wasn't allowed to marry a divorcee even though there was very little likelihood of every becoming monarch (Anne could). Who changed the rules for the monarchy and when?
I don't think it's a question of rules/laws governing the monarchy it's the way society sees things at the time, Eighty years ago when the Duke of Windsor abdicated society was very different - divorce was a big nono for everyone, nowadays 3 of the Queens children are divorced and one has remarried without any great fuss. Personally I think they should be left to get on with it - put all those talking heads on all the news channels out of a job for a start. jenny barron Scotland To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
