I take nothing away from the service given in the armed forces by Andrew/Harry/William and others. That was never my point. I simply do not accept the right of anyone to automatic rank and priviledge simplybecause of the ancestral line. I have great respect for harry and William as I think they both make an effort to be "Normal". I do not set aside the charitable works done by the Queen and others. I just feel that they should not have the automatic right of succession. I am not a killjoy and hope everyone who wants to enjoys the long holiday. For me its a chance to do some work on my latest banjo.
