King George V and H.M.

Though, I guess there will then be the potential for more frequent changes of House names as the heirs to these Queen Regnants marry. <br />I have to say, one Queen Regent and three Queen Regnants in a row in The Netherlands, followed by a future King, followed by yet another future Queen Regnant makes me think of The Netherlands as Europe's feminine monarchy.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234144838277390760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-3050656890342200842011-01-23T12:25:02.450-06:002011-01-23T12:25:02.450-06:00given the current unrest in tunisia, anyone know w...given the current unrest in tunisia, anyone know where the heirs of the former tunisian king Muhammad VIII al-Amin are?

Frankly, though, I think it is an issue best put off. Parliament has no pressing need to amend the law, and if, for example (and Heaven forbid!) Miss Middleton were to die after giving birth to a girl, it might be something to consider. It was a similar case of apparent necessity that say the Japanese fretting over male-only succession, but with the birth of a boy, the fretting has ceased.<br /><br />Still, it seems that the tough lessons aren't taught to people these days. Pity wishful thinking doesn't change reality.
