COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Happy Friday all,

Yesterday being the last day of my leave was horrible. so many things went wrong. So I am ignoring yesterday....it did not happen.

Started work again today, and thank goodness it is Friday. I have 30 minutes to go then I can go home and it is weekend. Good way to get back into working. sort of takes the shock out of having to come back to work after my leave.

Hope everyone is having a good Friday so far.

I miss @JoesMum and @Tidgy's Dad and a few other people. We haven't seen @Lyn W for a while - I wonder if her school kids have kidnapped her? There are a few others missing as well. And I wonder how they are all doing? What was Dan's user name again was it not @Dan42? @Bambam1989 How is the art projects and moving etc going?
@Moozillion How are Elsa and Jacques doing? @Laura1412 How is your torts and your back?

Dan’s is @DE42
Brilliant on Lyn’s being “KIDnapped”! [emoji23][emoji33][emoji23][emoji33]

I asked Mr Google...

Why is Prince Philip not called King Phillip?

Philip is not the sovereign because he was not heir to the throne of England. He merely became the Consort - or husband - of the sovereign Queen. He could still have been styled King - known as a King Consort, who takes the title but does not rule - but Parliament and the Crown realised that giving him the title of King Consort would be unpopular with the British people for a variety of reasons. In the final analysis this was a political decision rather than one based on historical precedence. The principle reason for not giving Philip the title of King was that he is a foreigner and that this might cause confusion as to who was the sovereign. This is the same reason that Queen Victoria's husband, Albert, became Prince Consort rather than King Consort. In the United Kingdom there is no automatic right of the consort of the queen to retain any title. This means, technically, Philip could be given any title, including King Consort or Prince Consort, or no title at all. Indeed he did not even receive the title of Prince Consort until 1957, even though the Queen began her reign in 1952. There are a number of historical precedences which demonstrate that Philip could have become a King. In 1554, Mary I married Philip II of Spain and he became King of England by right of marriage. William of Orange, Stadtholder of the Netherlands, became King of England on the invitation of Parliament partly because he was married to Mary Stuart, the deposed King's daughter. They reigned jointly as William & Mary. Finally Mary, Queen of Scots, married Henry Darnley and he became King Consort of Scotland. But it is important to realise that if Philip had become King he would have been a King "Consort" (i.e. by right of marriage) and he would remain under the Queen, who as Queen Regnant (i.e. reigning) would remain the Sovereign. Why? Because the sovereignty of the Crown passes to the nearest blood relative and not by marriage. As King Consort if Philip survived the death of the Queen, he would not become sovereign but rather his son Charles would become King and a new title (similar to Queen Mother, perhaps "King Father"!) would have to be found. For although males takes precedence over females in succession the overriding factor is that Philip is not heir to the throne by blood.

Long answer, but suffice it to say, he has to be born to it!

I would say it like goode morgan ( Obviously not spelt like that. ) But then I am by far not an expert. Which is why I will bow to all of you experts.
