We should not have changed the succession laws for the Monarch of the Commonwealth Realms, not because I'm against queens but because if you undermine tradition you undermine the whole point of monarchy.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226519.post-20763073389510626542013-11-24T20:31:43.615-08:002013-11-24T20:31:43.615-08:00What about Mexico?

With male preference in succession, is it a bad move for adoption to insert a male heir in precedence to a female heir? And separately, is it bad for th king to have so much say over who succeeds him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226519.post-15130696539932249682011-08-26T22:38:50.060-07:002011-08-26T22:38:50.060-07:00As a point, weren't the adopted Emperors of Ro...As a point, weren't the adopted Emperors of Rome considered some of the greatest?<br /><br />Personally, I find no trouble with this approach if an heir is not available, as the reigning sovereign is head of his household correct? Therefore he is also keeper of the rules of said household and it's policies on inheritance, provided of course that they do not supersede national law.<br /><br />It would however have the unpleasant effect of alienating existing nobility who WOULD have inherited and might make the successors' reign difficult. Perhaps in that sense, should the incoming family take the name of the outgoing? Hey, it would certainly put an end to the Orleans/Bourbon debate....okay ruminating on that sentence for 2 seconds makes my suggestion sound like a very bad idea.<br /><br />Still, if the aristocracy was accepting of it and willing to lay those ambitions aside, I would really see no problem with it at all.Crayshennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226519.post-24501576382832601792011-08-18T09:55:14.028-07:002011-08-18T09:55:14.028-07:00I think they can adopt a child, but The British Li...I think they can adopt a child, but The British Line of Sucession has more than 2000 people.

But I think succession should be through a male because when he gets married (or if), usually the wife takes her husband's name, not vice versa, so the royal family name would then be preserved.Robnoreply@blogger.com
