In case I still have any readers here, who are also familiar with my www.royaltymonarchy.com website that I've maintained since September 2000, I wanted to let you know that for about a month it has been almost impossible to get into Angelfire to edit and at the moment the site does not seem to be accessible at all. This also affects Paul Theroff's Online Gotha, one of the royalty sites on which I am most reliant for genealogy, so it's not just me. I am not sure what to do as two help requests have gone unanswered and Lycos do not offer phone support. I hope a solution can be found.

Separate the Crown?
For a long time I resisted this idea, and at heart I still believe in the shared Commonwealth Crown (after all I live in Texas and have no problem considering myself loyal to King Charles III, but I'm weird), but recent events have forced me to consider whether a monarch descended from the previous sovereigns but who actually lived in Ottawa might be able to serve Canadian loyalism better (with the same idea applied to Canberra and Wellington). Perhaps Princess Charlotte could take Canada (the senior Dominion), Prince Louis Australia, and one of Prince Edward's children New Zealand? The UK would probably want to keep one or two "spares" around though until such time as Prince George marries and has children.
I hate to say this but the Caribbean is probably a lost cause. Not sure about Papua New Guinea.The problem is that I doubt there's enough support for this idea to be feasible, and there's no guarantee the young royals would be interested. While this is painful to me to admit, to a certain extent the monarchies of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have survived on the lazy principle of "if it ain't broke don't fix it," and the "fix" that ideological monarchists want may not be the "fix" that everyone else wants.
