I think there is a danger to letting lies or misinformation such as this be out there unchecked, especially in this age of "social media". Who was it that said that if you tell a lie enough times and with conviction, in time it becomes the truth? Wasn't it Goebbels?

I've had SO many "discussions" with people who read stuff like this on Facebook who will ARGUE you to death that William is going to be the next King because "ERII has said so". Drives this history teacher crazy. They are convinced that Charles isn't going to be King because he's a divorced man and therefore cannot be King - that ERII "wants William and Kate to be the next King and Queen" and on and on and on. It doesn't matter how many times I tell them that ERII cannot change the succession - that it's up to Parliament - that succession is based on LAW - that if Charles outlives his mother, he WILL be King, etc. They just refuse to believe it - I tell them to stop reading tabloids and articles on FB - and go STUDY British/English history and Parliament and the succession to the throne. These nay-sayers are real twits!<br />Candace Hincheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244277346238268113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-56518017883853673662017-08-11T03:54:34.563-04:002017-08-11T03:54:34.563-04:00I actually had friends in the USA contact me to as...I actually had friends in the USA contact me to ask if this was real!

She writes about how the monarchy no longer has the respect it once did... which is, ironically, likely in part because "journalists" like her write this poppycock. <br /><br />The Duchess is still called Kate Middleton and Diana was often called Lady Di(ana) after her marriage. Did the Queen Mother have a similar experience, being referred to post-marriage as Lady Elizabeth or Bowes-Lyons? Even after the Windsor's marriage, Wallis was referred to, for the most part, as the Duchess of Windsor, or at least using the word "formerly" when referred to as Simpson ("formerly" being how were were taught in J-school).Matthew Ploosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310027974512497631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-47524766009743894992017-08-10T20:08:43.370-04:002017-08-10T20:08:43.370-04:00One of the reasons why Kate Middleton is used is b...One of the reasons why Kate Middleton is used is because more people use that search term.
