thread_title: Successful [[Wikipedia:Good articles|good article]] nomination

message: Does anyone know why two of the honours Prince Charles holds are mentioned separately in the act? The royal family's web site at  identifies these as titles he gained on his own investiture rather than his mother's, but I don't see how this would prevent them from being treated as "normal" royal hereditary peerages, which are not mentioned in the act.

replies: text: The "normal" royal hereditary peerages are passed on automatically to an heir according to law while the the titles of Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester need to be granted each time by the reigning monarch. For example, Charles became Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay automatically on his mother's ascension to the throne in 1952, but was not granted the titles Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester until 1958.

thread_title:  Prince of Wales & Earl of Chester 

message: According to some of my sources, because Tony Blair did not go about removing the Letters of Royal Commission from the Hereditary Peers the correct way (A separate act voted upon in the House of Commons per individual Letter of Royal Commission), this act could technically be illegal and unlawful, thus making every law passed from the first of January 2000 AD Null and Void, including the Lisbon Treaty.
To rectify this, the House of Commons will either have to remove every last Letter of Royal Commission of from the Peers that have been removed from the Upper House one by one with separate acts per Lord Temporal, or the House of Lords Act 1999 will have to be repealed, BEFORE the House can commit to any further business. Either way it still messes up all the laws passed in the last ten years.
It might be wise for any legal beagles to research this further and make a note of this in the article should it be proven as correct.

thread_title:  Constitutional Problems with Act 

message: The Act says that people sitting in the House by virtue of being Earl Marshall or exercising the office of Lord Great Chamberlain get to sit for life unless excepted by another Act. Does that mean that Cholmondeley will remain in the house after Her Majesty's death moves the Lord Great Chamberlain's office to the next person in the rotation for that office? Or has another Act come along to address that? 152.132.13.1 (talk) 16:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
