But the QE2 statement on the Wessex children, was just a statement: it's now actually law. Edward & Sophie wanted their children to be styled that way, but technically Louise & James are still HRH and Princess/Prince. Previous Message
Right now I am thinking the joint Houses will not be involved , there is no need to : HMTK has issued a formal statement and it will e followed … as QE2 issued a statement on the styles and titles of the children of the then Earl and Countess of Wessex; the statement was accepted , as noted by Nellie . The UK parliament has far too many things to discuss right now , the removal of an HRH style and title won’t be one of the them. The precedent this would set is unimaginable. Roll on the next victims : the Sussexes . HMTK will not want that ( until the UK tabloid media have convinced enough people in the UK that it’s ok to proceed down this route) Previous Message
My understanding of the "formal process" is that it will require an Act of Parliament to remove the titles.
I also understand there was some discusson of this a few years ago, that would have allowed the monarch the ability to do this, but that those discussions did not pan out.
My questions to anyone are:
1 - Would both the House of Lords & House of Commons vote on this?
2 - How long would legislation like this take to go through? Also, I'm assuming that Beatrice & Eugenie will retain their titles and status, and that Andrew will still retain his place in the line of succession - would that be correct? Previous Message
OMG!!!
HMTK has removed his style and title of HRH, Pr of the YKo GB& I…

As of this second I have not read nor researched anything ! More to follow … by everyone ! I do once again suggest a precedent was set when George V removed said styles etc for Pss Patricia of Connaught , plus the denial of HRH to the Duchess of Windsor, plus denial of HRH for divorced wife’s of Princes of UKoGB&I all of which were issued via Letters Patent by the current monarch . Right now I am wondering if HMTK has issued a new LP or just a BP press release (?which has the same affect as Nellie pointed out recently )
I wonder where Mr Mountbatten - Windsor fits in in the table of precedence , he’s still the son of a monarch and brother of the current monarch, he should still rank above the Edinburghs?? Let’s see how fast the UK tabloid media stats to demand the same for his daughters .
