Why is the wife of an heir to the throne Queen but the husband of an heir not King?
Because the Line of Descent was to the eldest child of the previous King, George VI, but as he had no son it went to Elizabeth who became Queen Elizabeth II. If Prince Philip was then to become King he would be of higher rank than the Queen. I think the idea of male succession in the UK throne is now abolished it will go to the eldest child in future irrespective of sex.
What successes were seen by the Spanish monarchs?
The Spanish monarchs, particularly Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, achieved significant successes during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. They completed the Reconquista by expelling the Moors from Granada in 1492, unified Spain under Christian rule, and sponsored Christopher Columbus's voyage, leading to the discovery of the Americas. Their reign marked the beginning of Spain's rise as a global power, establishing a vast overseas empire that would dominate trade and influence in the New World. Additionally, they implemented reforms to strengthen royal authority and centralized governance, laying the foundation for a powerful Spanish state.
What act made princess Mary illegitimate?
Princess Mary, the daughter of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, was declared illegitimate by the Act of Succession 1534. This act, part of Henry's efforts to secure a male heir and legitimize his marriage to Anne Boleyn, invalidated the marriages of Henry to Catherine and their offspring, including Mary. As a result, Mary was removed from the line of succession to the throne.
Should Canada abolish the monarchy?
To make any change to the Office of the Queen, or the Office of the Governor General, or the Offices of the Lieutenant Governors, would need the agreement of the Senate* and the House of Commons for a constitutional amendment. The amendment would also need to be supported by resolutions passed by all ten of the provincial legislatures. (*Should the House of Commons and the ten provinces agree on an amendment, the Senate has only a 180-day suspensive veto to block such a change.)
There are many arguments for Canada staying a constitutional monarchy.
The low costs of the constitutional monarchy are one positive aspect of such a system; Canada does not pay the day-to-day costs of Her Majesty the Queen of Canada. Rather, Canada pays the modest costs of the Governor General, and the Lieutenant Governors; and were the Crown to be changed or removed, the functions of these viceroys and vicereigns would need to be performed by some other head of State. The development of such a role, and the cost of the changes of such a system would most probably exceed the costs of the current constitutional monarchy.
Also, the embedded nature of the constitutional monarchymakes the Crown very fundamental to most aspects of Canadian government. The Queen is the core of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government for Canadians; the system would need to be entirely reworked ("back to the drawing board", so to speak) to accomodate the removal of the Crown as a Canadian institution.
Her Majesty The Queen of the United Kingdom signs herself Elizabeth R (R stands for Regina, which is Latin for Queen).
