пока к Челябинску мчался метеорит (торопились ли учиться?) - тем временем в замке Шефа в палате Лордов, обсуждали реформу билля о преемственности короны, ну и 100ням потомков Жоржа II кажется повезло, и им всем не надо более ждать разрешения на женитьбу от монарха, а только 6ти верхим в топе %-)
да, можно жениться на католиках!

The Bill does three things. First, it ends the system of male preference primogeniture in the line of succession. Secondly, it removes the bar on a person who marries a Roman Catholic from succeeding to the Throne-a legal barrier that applies to Catholics and only Catholics and no other faith. Thirdly, it replaces the Royal Marriages Act 1772-an Act that requires any descendent of King George II to seek the reigning monarch's consent before marrying, without which their marriage is void. This clause has attracted some debate. It may help the House if I set out briefly why we have added this clause to the other principal planks of the Bill.
With King George II's descendants now numbering in their hundreds, this law is clearly unworkable and so it is replaced with a provision that the monarch need only consent to the marriages of the first six individuals in the line of succession, without which they would lose their place. In this way, we retain the tradition of monarchical consent but, in limiting it to the people who could feasibly assume the Throne, it will be applied in a much more reasonable way.
