However, as this is a democracy and if people want royals then I suppose they should have them, this legislative change doesn't go far enough imo. The Head of state should not be restricted on religious grounds. The old Head of CofE argument doesn't wash with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with changing the Act of Settlement though is that you are asking The Queen to break her coronation oath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, as it doesn't have to take effect until she needs replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
