A Royal Marriage Bill Critique by a Dispassionate Peer
A public letter to Lord North denounces the Bill for regulating future royal marriages as dangerous to liberty. It argues the measure rests on a narrow 1717 judges’ inference, warns of Crown overreach, cites constitutional and canonical law, and contends the King’s prerogative would threaten Parliament and the nation. The writer urges accountability of the minister and cautions against undermining the monarchy’s public duties.
