That's why they make a fuss of William even though most of the royal family manages to stay out of the public eye.(June 6, 2014 at 1:42 pm)Lemonvariable72 Wrote: You guys are aware that in practice the monarch holds no power at all right? I'd also like to point out that charles is actually ineligible for the throne.
That's why I said 'head of state', which the queen is under the the standard parliamentary system. And yes I understand that she has very limited powers and for all intents and purposes is a figurehead.
Why is Charles not in line for the throne?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
