also, i was reading...so they would be 2nd cousins?<br /><br />also, i was reading an article on cnn earlier today & had a question for you. the article says that Charles will become king in only one of 3 ways: Queen dies, abdicates, or retires.<br /><br />maybe i'm just stupid, but i thought it was death or abdication. she could retire in practice, but wouldn't she still be the Queen in name? what would retirement be if not abdication?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05231707322138549807noreply@blogger.com
