Dear Editor,
There is much talk of the new Prince George being heir to the throne
and a future monarch. Our monarchs when we had them held the office of
Sovereign Head of State, official Governor of the nation, Head of the
Executive and Governor of the Church. With the signing of the Treaty
of Rome 1972 and the surrender of our national sovereignty to what was
then the EEC there could no longer be a sovereign head of state. With
the signing of the Treaty of Maastricht in 1993 the Queen was made a
citizen of the EU as announced in the House of commons by the then PM
John Major. As no one can be both monarch and citizen at the same time
clearly the office of constitutional monarch had been done away with
in fact a BBC commentator outside Buckingham Palace made it clear that
the royals no longer have any powers, thus confirming that the powers
vested in the Queen by the people at the time of her coronation have
been withdrawn. We do not have monarchs merely as figureheads as they
do in Europe, our monarchs are constitutionally at the head of our
political structure, but as our common law constitution has been done
away with we no longer have a constitutional monarch. Clearly only by
leaving the EU could we return to that system and only then could the
new Prince George ever be King.
