I have been featured in a post at The Monarchist Initiative.

The Monarchist Initiative is a Serbian movement that aims to restore monarchy and its ideals to the country. They discovered my site and the blog through – I believe – the link to the Serbian royal family which I put up about a month ago.

Thank you for the honor. It is always nice to see another pro-monarchy movement on the rise!

Theodore Harvey of RoyalWorld has written a truly wise post about the differences between an unelected head of state in a constitutional monarchy vs. an elected politician. Theodore says:

For if power tends to corrupt, than surely it is more dangerous to entrust it to the sort of person who has spent most of his life seeking it than to someone who has not sought it at all.

Right after my broadcast on the oath of allegiance controversy, I found this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the creator for finally putting it point blank in the republicans’ faces. How much clearer can we be?

Today we celebrate the union of the British North American provinces under the name of Canada. The celebrating began with a formal flag-raising ceremony on Parliament Hill.

A proclamation signed by the Governor General, Lord Monck, formed the British North American provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1st, 1868.

Happy birthday!
Bon Anniversaire!

Adrienne Clarkson, former Governor-General of Canada, has written her memoirs. In it, she has decided to take “a swipe” at Her Majesty and even the late Queen Elizabeth.

Clarkson’s book, “Heart Matters”, was the opportunity to take the Queen to task publicly. Is it a political issue? A national issue? No. It was neither of those.

Let me save you your hard-earned money and reveal the plot now – it was jealousy.

According to the Daily Telegraph, “The Queen’s decision to powder her nose at the dinner table has so shocked the delicate sensibilities of Adrienne Clarkson, Canada’s former governor-general, that she has used her memoirs to draw attention to it. She also took a swipe at the Queen Mother’s use of mismatched china.”

It is Clarkson who should take lessons from the Queen; HM would never gripe about something so petty, least of all in her memoirs. Then again, the Queen has lived a remarkable life. She doesn’t need to use worthless filler.

Constitutional Affairs Minister Christopher Leslie has confirmed that under current legislation Camilla Parker Bowles would automatically become Queen when her future husband, the Prince of Wales, accedes to the throne.

Questioned by a lawmaker, Mr Leslie confirmed the upcoming marriage would not be “morganatic”, therefore Camilla automatically inherits the title of Queen when Charles becomes monarch.

Though at the time the engagement was revealed, it was announced Camilla would be given the title of Princess Consort when Charles is king, current British law dictates otherwise.

Government sources have said legal changes will be necessary to “comply with (Camilla’s) wishes not to become queen”. Labour MP Andrew McKinlay points out that legislation would be needed in many countries – namely, wherever the British monarch is head of state.

Taking public sentiment into consideration, the Prince of Wales had announced that, after his April 8 wedding, Camilla would become the Duchess of Cornwall. She would then take the title of Princess Consort when he accedes the throne.
