Time travel's not banned under the OrgLaw? Great! I'm just going to hop in my TARDIS, go back to 1997 and slap KR1 in the face. This cracked me up.

What would happen if Prince Andrew decided to become a citizen? Would he then automatically become the Prince of Prospect? As others have answered, yes. Andrew, should he meet the qualification mandated in the amendment initiated by 35RZ35, would have a superior claim on the throne than Prince Patch. Yes, the only Prince of Prospect before Patch was Louis, who did indeed become King upon the abdication of King Robert I. (At least I believe so; does anyone know if Florence had any children during her reign? Back then, and indeed until the regency of Louis, the heir apparent need not be a citizen.) Yes, I imagine Patch knows to protect his back (from Andrew) and now his front (from Prince Peter). :-) His Majesty's parents were both gathered to their Maker within the last couple years; may their souls repose in peace.

(At least I believe so; does anyone know if Florence had any children during her reign? Back then, and indeed until the regency of Louis, the heir apparent need not be a citizen.) Under the 1989-2002 House Law, in case of failure of there to be a descendant of Robert I, the succession was recalculated from Harry L. Madison. Which meant that, 1989-2002, Jennifer Madison was heir presumptive and Princess of Prospect. Prior to 1989, there was no House Law, and so the descendants of King Florence, if there were any (I don't know), would not have legally been heirs to the throne.

become the Talossan equivalent of a Carlist! There you go, bringing the Carlists into it. Actually, the whole "My name is Infante Carlos. You killed my father. Prepare to die." episode is pretty straightforward, but not the best analogy. No - the current royal family is likely to be more Plantagenet than Bourbon. If either Prince Andrew, Prince James or Prince Peter become citizens, I expect that we'll hear a reprise of the line from Henry VI Part 2 (Act IV, Scene II): "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."

I suppose we should count fingers on the Hands (uh oh, that's me) at court to be sure no one has six. LOL again. (But lo! Peter the Prince doth a citizen be; methinks Patch woulds't be wise his eyen to keep open....) Hool
