If you might enjoy hearing a string of dad jokes about the National Enquirer and photos of Jeff Bezos' penis, I whole-heartedly recommend the episode dated yesterday of the podcast All The President's Lawyers.
Thanks for the reminder, I caught a little of it yesterday and forgot to listen this morning.

Today, in the local Walgreen's there was the Nazional Ink-wire-er. It was informing "us" that Queen Elizabeth is stepping down and passing the crown directly to Prince William, having decided that Charles, having spent 70+ years waiting for his mother to die, won't be King after all.
I'm no expert on British Royalty but I believe that Parliament determines the succession, not the monarch. NOTHING that rag prints should be believed.
You're right the stupid inquirer, any change in succession must be approved by Parliament. Nothing says Charles couldn't succeed to the throne and abdicate in favor of William. Supposedly when the Queen hits 95 years of age, at her request Parliament will pass a new Regency Act. She'll remain monarch in name only but Charles as Prince Regent will handle all state affairs.
