As I said, this is all historical and must be seen in context. We did cut off a King's head for bringing Catholic troops into the country. Things like this do not happen lightly.

There has been talk for a long time about repealing or modifying the Act of Settlement 1701 and the Royal Marriages Act 1772, but it would require the assent of about 15 countries, which have the Queen as Sovereign.

It is the system we have and it has served us for 310 years. There is very little more that can be said that would not get this thread closed down.
