Not just Line of Succession (which is in fact calculated down past 100+), but no adult further down than #3 has any chance of ever ascending to the Throne.  In Harry&#039;s case, there are now three small children above him.  

This downsizing will happen immediately when Elizabeth II passes.  Few Brits are old enough to even remember a time before she was Queen, and debates that are deferred out of respect to her will emerge right away.

There is no reason that an adult further down than Third in Line (sixth in Harry&#039;s case) should be funded to live in Opulance. His marriage to Markle was only allowed after three babies were already born to William, pushing Harry down the sixth and ensuring that he will never be King or even first/second/third in line.

Evidently both the Queen and Prince Charles have come around to that way of thinking, for some time now. There have been rumblings for the past couple of years of plans for a stripped-down royal family, where those who are not immediately in the line of succession will be expected to earn their own way and will no longer get the HRH treatment.

This would not be a bad outcome and would do a great job of both preserving the ancient monarchical traditions, which is a very Good Thing, while also reducing the strain on the public fisc, which the British people have always bitched about.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The choices at that point will be terrible indeed, and will basically amount to staying in a marriage with a woman who will rule over him with a rod of iron and an increasingly dried-out and saggy body, 

I doubt it.  If Her Majesty can order an MI6 double-oh to cancel Diana, she can order the same for Meghan Markle even more easily.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Just cut them off and defund them.

There is no reason that an adult further down than Third in Line (sixth in Harry&#039;s case) should be funded to live in Opulance.   His marriage to Markle was only allowed after three babies were already born to William, pushing Harry down the sixth and ensuring that he will never be King or even first/second/third in line.  

People don&#039;t realize how much of the Monarchy is dependent on the timeless Queen herself.  Once she dies, there will be pressure to just keep the bare minimum going, which is to say that any adult further down than Third in Line needs to go out and earn a living as a civilian.  

At any rate, don&#039;t be surprised if Meghan has a car accident outside of England much like Princess Di did.   Her Majesty may have to order James Bond to do this again.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://didacticmind.com/2020/01/harry-and-half-blood-princess-indeed.html#comment-963&quot;&gt;Kapios&lt;/a&gt;.

I wish all royalty to be brought down. They don&#039;t even care about religion, economics or anything for that matter.

While I understand where you are coming from, history does not support this view. For an excellent set of counterarguments, take a look at Hans-Herman Hoppe&#039;s superb book, Democracy: The God that Failed.

Royal families may well be a useless anachronism these days - though there is some evidence in the British system, at least, to suggest that the Queen acts as a very underappreciated counterweight to an out-of-control Parliament and Supreme Court. But this does not mean that they are always so - monarchies in Thailand, Japan, and the UK all play a vital role in preserving national identities.

As for young Prince Harry himself, he certainly has made an utter pig&#039;s breakfast out of his image ever since he married the Half-Blood Princess. Of all of the stupid decisions ever made by the House of Windsor, at least in relation to marriage, this has to be right up near the top.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[All this crap about charity is just putting a good face out there. He doesn&#039;t really care about anything. Everything he did after he got married in order to &#039;fix&#039; his image was fake. I don&#039;t care one bit if a royal goes astray. Frankly, I don&#039;t think royals do anything but siphon money from the economy.

I wish all royalty to be brought down. They don&#039;t even care about religion, economics or anything for that matter. Would I act like a spoiled brat if I was in his position? Most probably, and many others I suppose. It&#039;s just a useless position if you think about it.]]></description>
