The laws which govern the marriages of the British royal family
have led to heartbreak, farce and confusion, and are unfit for the
twenty-first century. In an era that values human rights and free
choice, there is little certainty over questions as fundamental as
the effect of marrying a Roman Catholic, or of marrying without the
Queen's consent. Question marks still hang over the legal basis for
royal civil marriage. Obscure acts of Parliament have threatened to
render members of the royal family illegitimate and prevented
others from following their hearts. Drawing on a wide range of
sources including once-secret files in the UK's National Archives,
The Rights & Wrongs of Royal Marriage recounts episodes from
the eighteenth century right down to the present day that would not
look out of place in Yes, Minister or The Mikado. Professor Rebecca
Probert, the leading authority on the marriage law of England and
Wales, is as characteristically clear when explaining the
complexities of royal marriage law as she is in her other
groundbreaking studies. Her prose is concise and elegant, and full
of historical anecdotes that will have royalists and republicans
alike laughing aloud and wide-eyed with astonishment.
