If Diana had more royal blood than "the royals", she should have been informed upfront that her marriage was a hoax to level the playing field. Diana was duped. So skip the "peyton place" couple. Mercy for them, but not the throne of England!
May Diana's royal blood and mission live on through her sons!

Well first the rules say its the eldest son--its called primogeniture. Although William would have more fun if Harry were involved!
As to the one who said the Queen has no power, not really so, first off the Queen can still dismiss the Prime Minister. She still gets briefed on all important government stuff (the famous red boxes). Technically she still has a veto on legislation (hasn't been used since the days of Queen Anne, but it still technically exists). She's still also the head of state and part of why the monarchy has not been abolished is that the monarch is still integral enough to the government that they haven't figured a way to replace her just yet. Part of that is she's still the biggest landholder in England and if they abolish her job, she would give up her Civil List money, but would get back all that land. For example the Duchy of Lancaster and Windsor Castle....
So, its not quite accurate to say she has no power....she may very well have some power, just hasn't used it lately.
Also she is still technically head of the Anglican Church....

Ain't the way it works girl. Royalty in England has no official government authority, so it really doesn't rule as such. It is a figure head monarchy which the British people tolerate. Each generation that passes, makes it a little less tolerable to the citizens of Great Britain. The family has amassed a size able fortune from the tax payers, that in itself has gained resentment from people who struggle to make it through the day to day cost of living.
To appease the population, the royals have been put on salary, however even that is over generous, but it has quieted down the biggest critics of Britains royalty.

it really is giant Britain and we do in basic terms not do this right here. There are rules which govern ascension to the throne. we've a good Minister and a Deputy good Minister who're like your President and vice president so why may William favor help? he's been educated from an early age to address being a King and his grandmother, The Queen will be assisting him.

First off they have no polical power... the Queen exists only to wave... so really it doesn't matter who's who... they are just rich relics in the end...
