From The Malta Times-Proposed new laws allowing a first born daughter to succeed to the throne should maintain the provision that any child of a Royal marriage is brought up as an Anglican, a Tory Peer has said.
Lord Cormack argued it was very important that any constitutional measure should be “conducive to the peace and tranquility of the realm” and should anticipate difficulties.
The sovereign, he stressed, was the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and he did not think it was a role that could be adequately fulfilled by a regent during the life of a reigning monarch.
Speaking during the Succession to the Crown Bill’s report stage in the House of Lords, Lord Cormack outlined his amendment that the “statutory requirement that any child of such marriage is brought up as an Anglican is maintained”.
Such provision in the Bill, he said, would protect the status quo and ensure it was a constitutional measure to “stand the test of times”.
