More confirmed guests for William and Catherine
The Prince and Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg will be attending the wedding of Prince William and Miss Middleton. The Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg is the grandson of the late Princess Margarita of Greece, eldest sister of the Duke of Edinburgh.
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.
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?
thanks, i thought so. reading that it didn't make much sense to me! i know that the Queen technically could abdicate but will not, and obviously when she dies it's Charles, but that whole retirement thing really sounded ridiculous to me. i just wanted to run it by you in case i was missing something... glad to know i wasn't wrong in thinking that whoever wrote that didn't know what they were talking about. ;-)
so they would be 2nd cousins?

yes, second cousins.
ReplyDeleteCharles will succeed his mother when she dies. Abdication is not an option - and there is no such thing as retirement.
