I watched for about 10 to 15 minutes. It was pretty boring.

But what happens if King Charles dies - do they wait until Queen Camila dies to crown Prince William or can they do it before?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Amongst inbred european royalty, particularly the Habsburgs, “new hat” has a rather different meaning.   


Hat is a euphemism for the foreskin of the penis.   Inbreeding cause a high percentage of males amongst european royalty to be born with congenitally defective foreskin that are too tight to retract during intercourse, and sometimes even prevent proper urination.    To help making peeing less of an ordeal and make sex a bit more enjoyable so that the Royal line may continue, help of the Royal surgeon is called for.   The operation is called giving the prince a new hat.

Camilla is not in the line of succession, as she is royal only by marriage. William becomes king the instant Charles snuffs it, whether Camilla is alive or not.

They are employed in the Pompous twit profession, which according to british tradition is ranked above all other professions and entitles the practitioners to at least hereditary peerage if they were not born into it already

I just came across this, it makes interesting reading comparing the UK system to other countries
