Watching the current projections on the future King! In the space of less than five minutes reference was made by a Head Teacher addressing a young class of children twice called him the future King Of England! So is it expected that in the future N.Ireland- Wales- and Scotland wil ALL be independent ?

There was another similar quote from a member of the public - but actually teaching children that is not quite appropriate! Especially from a teacher !!

who's to say that an independent scotland won't choose republicanism sometime in the next 30 years?

Alex Salmond, not a man to mince his words, said he wants to keep the monarchy, that's magnanimous of him

No or yes you are right matheous

Our Queen is Queen of the United Kingdom
but who knows what the future holds

One burbling American called her The Queen of England
but I thought she was allowed to.

[In Canada, in 1978, I said to someone, well you must have guessed I'm a Brit - you know British
and she replied O God I thought you were English....)

Well presumably he will be - he'll have other 'realms' too

Does the omission of head of the commonwealth perturb you of the imminent collapse of that institution?

Methinks you doth protest too much!

Jake- I am actually more annoyed that a Head Teacher should teach children such wrong information! And potentially plant the seeds of bigotry!

The asker is completely correct of course,but how easy it is to say "England" how much more poetic,and we all know who they mean. Incidentally,he is a future Monarch,not the next. Of course Charles and William are above him.
