For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Our rightful king didn't seem too desperate to take the country over, as I recall (it was a year or two since I saw this programme). So we're probably better off with the Germans we have now. I sometimes with I could slap Mr Robinson about a bit myself - I think it's the short hair, it makes him look a fool - but I'm told by my partner, who has worked with him, that he's a lovely guy who'd give you the shirt off his back; so he is possibly on the royal list of licensed jesters, like Spike Milligan before him.
Wasn't there also some issue concerning Queen Victoria, and her haemophilia ?
Only male or female haemophiliacs will or won't pass the condition on to male or female heirs, and this shows that the line from Victoria onwards have not been the true heirs to the throne.
I can't remember all the details (obviously!!)

James II's son was not disqualified on the basis of the "warming pan" story, but because he was a Roman Catholic and therefore excluded under the Act of Settlement of 1700. This now sounds anachronistic but must be viewed in the context of the times, when England felt under very real threat from Catholic Europe.
sandy, yes, it was (allegedly) an illegitimate son of George III, who called himself George Rex and should maybe have been king before George IV. But illegitimate children, like Catholics, don't count.

William the Conqueror was of course Guillaume the Little Bustard of France......I am descended from Henry I and think that the old 'Winner stays on' system of monarchy was superior in every way......when Charles is crowned I will be at the front of the queue to sever his bonce and don the ermine cape for the good of this land.
