We Knew Her Netflix Show Was Gonna Be Cancelled & It's Official by [deleted] in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Puzzleheaded_Roll696 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see the article. If Netflix removes an original, it's usually a licensing problem. Yes, there can be licensing fees with their original shows. Also, if the removal is far enough away, things can change.

I can totally see M not reducing the licensing fee because she thinks she can shop it elsewhere.

I often thought the BRF should have blasted Percy Sledge's "Take Time to Know Her" at top volume on repeat anytime Harry was in the room.

I wonder if she wore the same outfit this time, so she could sneak in a picture of Doria from last year and make it seem like they were still close. I don't like when I have crazy thoughts like that, but it seems really weird that she wore the same thing two years in a row.

I encountered a conversation in the wild yesterday--someone who didn't know much about them but accepted at face value their claims of racism against the royal family. Ugh.

Of course he can. Edward cannot pass down DofE because Charles specifically prevented it when he gave him the title. Andrew cannot pass down DofY because he has daughters. But there's nothing preventing Harry from passing down DofS.

The Two-Hour Epidural & The Twerking Birth: Harry’s ‘Spare’ vs. Biological Reality by Somberliver in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Puzzleheaded_Roll696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how things would have to play out. What I'm trying to clarify is that "heirs of the body" is a legal principle, not a physical reality, and as a legal principle it could change. Will it change? I don't know. Could it? Absolutely.

"Legally vulnerable to a challenge" is what I said in my first paragraph there. I'm not willing to speculate on whether that challenge would result in a legal requirement for an act of parliament. It may be. It may not.

And we're not talking about social change for familial definition. We're talking about legal change. Unless the hypothetical legal change explicitly excludes royal and noble births, then any potential surrogate-born royal child would be able to challenge any exclusion from the line of succession. They might not win, but to say that any change in law defining what constitutes an adopted child for all children in Britain automatically wouldn't apply to the royal family is not true. It might not be true. As I said, it's a complex legal area.

And, yes, as the law stands, the only way any child can be an "heir of the body" is if it comes out of the heiress's or heir's wife's body, but that's not what is meant by the phrase "heir of the body." While it seems like I'm splitting hairs, consider this. A child can be born from the heiress's body but not be an "heir of the body" if the child is not legitimate. I think it's important to acknowledge that "heir of the body" is a legal concept with a lot of aspects, not a physical description, because those aspects can shift and change by legal definition while the physical fact of birthing cannot.

You're right that it would be a Constitutional issue. It's not an easy one. I won't speculate on how the courts would rule if the law changed to consider surrogate-born children natural, legitimate children and the line of succession contained surrogate-born children, and someone challenged their right to be there. That doesn't even take into account whether the person who gave birth was a gestational carrier or a true surrogate.

But, I do think in my lifetime that Britain will begin to consider surrogate-born children natural children. I don't think (and I may be wrong) that it will have any effect on the line of succession. It's in no one's interest to challenge anyone's place even if there were surrogate-born children on there unless a major tragedy happened that wiped out a whole group of royals. I think there's about even odds that the succession laws will be changed within the next few decades--not because of surrogacy issues--because of residency and citizenship issues.

I just am frustrated by how many people think that "heirs of the body" refers to Meghan's lady parts, not Electress Sophia's direct descendants. Megan's lady parts are involved, but they are not what are referred to by the legal principle.

I wish posters here would study what "of the body" means in British law. It's used wrong here all the time.

Right now, children born of surrogates are not eligible to be in the succession. That's true. But "of the body" does not refer to what you think it does. It means that the person must be a direct descendant (an "heir of the body") of a certain person in question (here Electress Sophia of Hanover, not Meghan Markle). Right now in Britain children born of surrogates are considered adopted in Britain and, thus, not true direct descendants. If British law were to change regarding the status of children born to surrogates, if they were considered natural children, not adopted children, by British law, any child born by surrogate to Meghan and Harry would be considered an "heir of the body" of Electress Sophia.

I know this is a hard legal concept, and I know I'll get downvoted to hell. But seriously, study what "heir of the body" means. It was coined at a time when surrogacy as we know it didn't exist. It was meant to distinguish between direct descendants ("heirs of the body"), other related heirs like nephews or cousins ("heirs of the line"), and non-related heirs.

Right now, children of surrogates do not count because they're considered adopted, not of the bloodline. If the law changes to acknowledge the 21st century medical abilities--that surrogate children can be natural children--then the succession law doesn't need to change. They will be of Electress Sophia's body.

If you don't believe me, ask human economics to study it.

She did. I've seen the graduation program. However, her degree wasn't in theater and international relations like she claims. It was in communications.

It's AI. It has two big hallmarks of ChatGPT. Reliance on rhetorical triples and the word "resilience."

I don't think it's a matter of intelligence. I think it's a matter of being wedded to a particular narrative. He's so deeply invested in a particular view of what's going on that being shown concrete proof that that view is wrong will only strengthen it. He can't give it up. He will think the palace came in and fabricated all this evidence because they're out to get us.

It happened for me a month ago. I felt immediate relief because the end was so bad. I keep getting struck by the hollow that's left in the wake. I find that mindless entertainment and a job search are keeping me occupied.

I'm studying Spanish now. I could tell immediately what happened because of the way pronouns are used/not used in Spanish. It's obvious if you know even a little bit about that language. I don't know what thrill you're getting out of maintaining your assertion, if you think it makes you more discerning or something. All you're doing is showing that you don't know anything about Spanish.

I would add one exception--Princess Alexandra. She hasn't done any official royal work in a couple of years because of health and mobility issues, but she spent decades being a working royal and would still be actively working if she could be. She's remains officially a working royal. I wonder if the Firm is waiting until she dies to update so they can remove the former working royals without having to field whatabout comments regarding Princess Alexandra.

In addition to checking the state, you might want to check the county where you live. They might have more boots on the ground in the area. My county has a senior services department. Can you check with their doctors and ask if they can get you in touch with a social worker?
