No Queen for a generation of more

[mids2019]

As we welcome our new King does anyone feel there is an issue in that for most of our lives we will not recognise a new Queen?

In my life I have felt the Queen offered the country and world a woman as one of the most memorable heads of state. We now are looking at least three successive Kings and memory of a female head of state becoming increasingly remote history.

How should the Royal Family face this prospect without looking patriarchal with successive Queen's subjugated their husband Kings?

I couldn't agree more!

There are several "queens in waiting" in other European countries though.

I think though that while it may feel inspiring to have a queen rather than a king, if we consider that we would be ok with the former but not the latter, it implies a real hierarchy of value that is ultimately toxic.

We see this time and again where identarian politics thinks that it can create some kind of social equality by almost reversing hierarchies around the relevant characteristic. As if this will somehow create fairness.

An example being the admissions approaches of American universities which mean that because of their engineering to admit more black students, if you are an Asian student it will be almost impossible to get in with the same scores and other qualifications.

If we want men and women to have equal consideration, we have to actually give them equal consideration.

I'm not a royalist, but if I had the choice between a democratically elected president like eg Donald Trump or her Madge I wouldn't need a nano second to decide.

Do other countries now have either sex as heir?

I don't know but Spain for example has two princesses so will have a Queen next.

Apparently they still have male primogeniture but they are talking about changing it to absolute primogeniture like we have here:

She's 16 and studying at Atlantic College, and now would be a good time to get that law changed before she's ready to have children herself. The current King is 56 and apparently was a playboy in his youth so plenty of time for him to ditch wife 1 (aged 50) and have a son.
