Interesting news today - good excuse to bump this delightful topic. Her Majesty, The Queen is in Australia on a State Visit. During which she chaired a meeting of the Heads of The Commonwealth. On the agenda two items designed to bring the British Monarchy in line with current practises. From today the tradition that the monarchy passes to the eldest male heir is ended. In future the monarchy will pass to the eldest child of the present monarch regardless of gender. So if Prince William's first child is a girl she will become Queen regardless of any other siblings gender. A quiet revolution passed into law without major fanfare. A second archaic ruling has also been lifted. Since the long battles with Rome over Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasterys and him declaring himself head of the Anglican Church the monarch or heir to the throne has been banned from marrying a Roman Catholic. That ruling has now been removed - the monarch or future Monarch still has to assume their role as head of the Anglican Church but can take a Roman Catholic partner without prejudice. Interesting these matters are a matter for the Head Of Commonwealths and not the British Parliament although the UK Government was represented and participated in the vote. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15492607 Martin

Prince William and Kate have been named as Olympic Ambassadors...
LONDON (AP) ? Prince William, his wife Kate Middleton and brother Prince Harry will be official ambassadors to the 2012 London Olympic Games, royal officials said Thursday. St. James's Palace said that all three will play a leading role in "encouraging and inspiring the British public to rally behind the 900 Olympic and Paralympic athletes" competing for Britain. They also will use their roles to encourage greater awareness of Olympic and Paralympic values, the palace said.

thought they'd hop on that bandwagon to make their image shine brighter...that's too cynical, actually it's really nice they're going to help out--there are so many sports crazy people everywhere they shouldn't have difficulty promoting the Olympics and Paralympics, making it even more popular. Wills, Harry and Kate are very good for the Royals Especially Wills and Kate, Harry still has a bit of wild oats sowing in him, and understandably so I've seen pictures of Kate having to smile her face off and appear so very fascinated talking with what she must think are old people, at stuffy looking functions. She's working hard at things like that much of the time, it appears. The trio seem to truly hold some compassionate and also "green" values. They know they're extremely fortunate and privileged, and feel the need to "give back"

You guys do know that they are distant cousins, right? This is verifiable.
