  1. You can't say there definitely wouldn't be a UK without the Crown's merging beforehand. It's less likely but not impossible.

  2.  @davidringmann3395  legally he does still reside in the UK cos he's registered as living at Frogmore still.

  3.  @Fatima_Garabandal2251  the Queen let Harry and Meghan keep the HRH cos otherwise they would have to bow/curtsey to the other Royals. It's the same for Andrew

  4.  @mariahewitt9787  no

  5. It only applies if you were born after October 2011

  6. They changed the law to end male preference for anyone born after 2011

  7. Yes. People holding Irish titles kept those after the Irish Free State left the UK

  8.  Vanna Stein  no, they're CofE

  9. Yes. They're all Queen Consort. Currently they're using the full title in order to avoid confusion between her and the late Queen. But over time the consort part will fade away

  10.  @AlixZouzou  nope, if you lived in a British colony you were British subject before 1983, and citizen afterwards, until your colony gained independence. The exception came a few years later when Britain took British citizenship from Hongkongers to keep China happy.

  11. You made a slight mistake: you said to be in the line of succession you must be descended from the current monarch or a past monarch. Not true. To be in the line of succession you simply have to be a descendant of Sophia of Hanover and she was never monarch.

  12. Nothing. Charles could announce Harry and Meghan are becoming Duke and Duchess of California if he wants. California itself wouldn't recognise them, but the UK would and that's all that counts

  13.  @dunstvangeet  she was Duchess of Edinburgh after her marriage in 1947 until she became Queen in 1952

  14.  @TheRivrPrncess  she is Queen Camilla.

  15. When Queen Elizabeth II recreated the Duke of York Dukedom her letters patent said Andrew can only pass it down the male line. As he only has two daughters the title will die with him until a king recreates it in future.

  16.  @oOEsperiaOo  Charles' children and grandchildren are called Wales, not Windsor when they need surnames. That's why William was called Lieutenant Wales when he served in the RAF. And Harry was called Captain Wales in the Army.

  17. Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom, not England.
    2
  18. Henry VIIIs last four wives weren't queens. He didn't have any of them formally crowned so none were queen
    2
  19. She did have the right and the Queen couldn't stop that once she allowed the marriage to take place
    2
  20. If Charles allows it. He'll decide what the rules are when he recreates the title.

  21. The King can't remove a Dukedom. Constitutionally a title is for life unless removed by an Act of Parliament. The last time a Dukedom was removed was in 1917 for treason
    2
  22. He can't renounce titles. Only an Act of Parliament can remove his titles.
    2
  23. The king can't change the line of succession. They'll only be removed if the parliaments of all 15 countries that he's king of pass an Act of Parliament that removes them
    2
  24.  @dunstvangeet  she was Duchess of Edinburgh after her marriage in 1947 until she became Queen in 1952

  25. George DID meet the requirements to be Prince, the Queen's Letters Patent was required for Charlotte and Louis
    2
  26. Andrew can only be removed from the line of succession if the parliaments of all 15 countries that have Charles as King pass an Act of Parliament that amends the Act of Settlement 1701.

  27. Mary I's husband was also King of England. Queen Victoria asked for Prince Albert to have the title king-consort but Parliament refused it.
    2
  28. Who is a convicted criminal in the line of succession?
    2
  29. Parliament deciding the line of succession goes back centuries. Even Henry VIII needed an Act of Parliament to authorise him changing the succession in his will.

  30. Or you could have both...
    2
  31. Good luck convincing 15 Parliaments in 15 countries to remove Harry

  32. George would become King and Harry would become regent until George turns 18 provided Harry is willing to move back to the UK, because Harry is the most senior Counsellor of State. If he didn't want to return, then Andrew would become regent.

  33. They wouldn't decompose if they mummify under the right conditions. You'd have to open up their coffins to see which ones are just bones and which still have mummified fleshy bits.

  34. William the Conqueror was known as the Bastard to his contemporaries. That should be used more seeing as how brutal a tyrant he was.

  35. If the new Prince of Wales takes on the staff at Clarence House he has to let go of some of the staff he already has. Charles has taken on the late Queen's staff and there's now one less adult in the family. So if William takes on Charles former staff William's existing staff have nowhere to go to. Someone has to lose their jobs

  36. Because duchess is a title for a consort
    1
  37. No because Parliament forbids that because kings outrank queens

  38.  @candie1230  everything you said was wrong. How could James VI & I have been King of the United Kingdom when he died in 1625 but the UK was founded in 1801?
    1
  39. George becomes King and Harry becomes Regent until George is 18 provided Harry moves back to the UK in order to fulfill the duties of king. In the case that Harry stays in the USA Andrew would be regent. In the case Parliament stops Andrew being regent, his eldest child Beatrice takes the job.

  40. Wales is part of England. England's full name is "the Kingdom of England & Wales". So far no law has been passed to change that legal fact
    1
  41.  @AML2000  Harry didn't receive money from the government and neither did Andrew. As Prince of Wales, Charles received the profits from the Duchy of Cornwall as a private income and he used that to privately support Harry financially until he moved to California. Andrew was supported financially by the Queen's private income and he'll now be dependent on Charles supporting him or else Andrew will need to get a job.

  42.  @RaiderDave-xe1pn  there is no civil list. It was abolished in 2011.

  43. Camilla will use the title Queen according to the British press.
    1
  44.  @gidzmobug2323  Eugenie isn't a counsellor. It's Queen Camilla The Prince of Wales Prince Harry Prince Andrew Princess Beatrice And Parliament is now legislating to add Princess Anne and Prince Edward to the list for their life times.

  45. You can buy a title from the Principality of Sealand

  46.  @christinewolfe5481  George VI gave Philip the style HRH so Philip wouldn't be forced to bow to his wife, Princess Elizabeth when entered a room she was already in.

  47. Charles can't strip the title. Only an Act of Parliament can remove it. And so far Parliament has only removed a Dukedom if the Duke has been found guilty of treason
    1
  48.  @floridagirl9064  he hasn't removed himself cos he still officially lives in the UK
    1
  49.  @자수정-m2n  they're talking about counsellors of state. There are five them and by rank they are: 1. Prince William, Prince of Wales 2. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex 3. Prince Andrew, Duke of York 4. Princess Beatrice of York 5. Queen Camilla Each of them can be deputised to fill in for the King and if an underage child became King they'd be asked to serve as regent in that order. Though Camilla will lose her place when Charles dies.

  50. Nope. There is a petition for Parliament to pass a law that would allow Parliament or the King to remove Dukedoms so Andrew can lose his title, but they're trying to ignore it
