Letters Patent removing the right to be titled
I think letters patent is plural Corbo
Incredz this was discussed in the case about the COmmon Market and Heath - 1973. Denning (MR as he then was) discussed whether there were some things in the world that could not be called back ( and then poss if HRH was one)
as an arrow fired - - I recall
and then he asked - - ( yes in short but he was a judge) if Parliament repealed the Independence of India Act 1947, wd India become part of the British Empire again
Phew he said no
and so some things cannot be recalled
is HRH one?
well I thought that a child of the sovereign was a Prince of the Blood and so entitled to HRH ( as Jowett I did)
Hence Edward VIII went back to being a prince ( of the Blood) and so his spouse (dear Wallis).
Jowett as LC changed it all (Jowett II). We do what the king says.
Big thing twenty y ago - if you were a bad bad boy, the university took (wanted to take) your degree off you ( a la Anthony Blunt and his sir-ship). yes BA, BSc, PhD. ( PhD goes down for fraud obviously, research fraud). and I was very keen on - "it shows they passed a written exam to a certain standard at a certain date...."
