Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit the royal family?
- 14 answers
Prince Harry and Meghan quit their roles as senior royals primarily because they wanted to be financially independent and because of their frustration with their treatment in British tabloids. From Harry’s statements, it seems they were envisioning a rather loose arrangement in which their lives weren’t publicly funded, but they could still partake in charity activities as emissaries of the queen.
Instead, the break from Buckingham Palace seems to be a rather harsh one. Their exact roles and titles are still in flux, but what is for sure is that they’re no longer allowed to use the highly-exclusive “His Royal Highness” or “Her Royal Highness” titles, and Harry will also give up his military titles.
Can the royal family be arrested?
- 1 answer
In order for the Queen to be arrested there would have to be an act of parliament changing the constitution in the UK, possibly abolishing the monarchy. As for the rest of the Royal family, they are all not immune to the law and can face arrest for a crime like anyone else.
Although, The Duke of York is said to have dabbled in illegal activities in the past, as well as his ex wife, although always publicized and under criticism he has tended to avoid arrest because of his mother. It would always help to have a powerful relative.

Who was the first King or Queen of England?
- 1 answer
The first king to rule all of England as king was Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great. His forebears were kings of Wessex, to which they attached Kent; it was Athelstan who united Mercia and Northumbria to Wessex to create the united English kingdom.
However, there are a few tricky points of terminology:
- Athelstan's title was "king of the English", not "king of England". Same thing really, but the first to be king of the English land rather than of the English people was Henry II.
- Before there was a single kingdom, several rulers had be accepted as overlord over all the English kings. Among those was Alfred the Great's grandfather Egbert, king of Wessex, and before him Offa, King of Mercia

Why is Prince Philip not called the king?
- 2 answers
It has to do with long-standing customs in the British monarchy. The spouse of the sovereign is usually given a symbolic title only, and "king" can't be a symbolic title, although "queen" can. It's a seemingly arbitrary (and very patriarchal) rule, but it's a long-standing one, and the royals are nothing if not traditional.
Prince Philip was given the titles Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, and Baron Greenwich when he married Queen Elizabeth (then a princess) in 1947. When Elizabeth became queen in 1953, he was not crowned or anointed, and she didn't give him the title of prince until 1957. His official styling was then announced as "His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh."
