The Queen's Name Omitted From Liturgy Controversy Debate
A heated debate in the House centers on the Order in Council omitting the Queen Consort's name from the liturgy. Critics argue the move defies immemorial usage and statute, risking a dangerous precedent for future monarchs and challenging royal prerogative and constitutional law.

Debating the Queen’s Liturgy and the Act of Uniformity
The speech argues the 14th Charles II clause was to reserve royal changing power to the Crown not permit arbitrary omission. It cites George of Denmark and Princess Sophia cases to show fixed names, not discretionary prayer. It condemns ministerial use of political strategy and asserts the Queen’s oath and rights deserve lawful treatment, not public vilification.
