Removed - let whoever put it there explain.

[edit] Would he be King?

Am I correct in thinking that if Edward VIII had not abdicated (but everything else remained the way it really happened), Prince Richard would today be King? When Edward died in 1972, he had no children (at least no legitimate ones; we don't know for sure if Scott Chisholm's grandfather was really his son) and his only surviving sibling was Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. Surely Henry would then have become king, rather than Elizabeth becoming queen, wouldn't he? Henry died in 1974, and his oldest son Prince William of Gloucester had already died in '72, leaving Richard next in line to the throne. Right? --Angr/_comhrá 11:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

No, Elizabeth would have become queen when Edward died. The daughter of an older brother goes before the younger brother. Victoria's father's younger brother, the Duke of Cumberland, was still alive at the time of William IV's death. john k 13:26, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for clearing that up! --Angr/_comhrá 14:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

If Great Britain had male-only succesion, Richard (or possibly his brother, under different circumstances) would probably have been king. Morhange (talk) 04:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] QC?

Is Prince Richard really a QC? Doesn't one need to be a barrister for that? Perhaps the person that added that postnomial meant Privy Counsellor?--dave-- 12:40, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

QC (along with another few poorly-spelt postnominals) was added from an IP which made half a dozen vandalism edits around the same time (and nothing else). I've reverted the changes to this article. Dr pda 16:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Phillip. I'm sorry I missed the obvious problem with that edit. All I saw was the original QC redlink and changed that. Well done.--dave-- 19:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gave up Job?

He gave up a job in architecture to represent his cousin at Royal Events? This seems crazy, how often do they really need a cousin, does this pay more? Is the real reason he is rich he doesn't need to work? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.110.221.182 (talk) 22:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC).
