Canadian monarchists want William’s little brother.
(PAGE 2): If Canada retains the monarchy and nothing unexpected happens, Prince William will one day become King of Canada. But even the most loyal Canadians realize that the distance between their homeland and the royal family in London is long and that this is one of the most powerful arguments for those who want a republic.
As Canada prepares these days to welcome William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Canadian royalists are launching a new solution to the old problem, according to The Telegraph: making Prince Harry the king of Canada.
Wants radical measures
The royalist movement suggests that Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, could move to the capital Ottawa to give the royal family a permanent representative in the country, preventing those who want the country to have a head of state. State elected by the people. state instead.
– Prince Harry, who in practice has little chance of becoming king of Great Britain, could establish a Canadian branch of the royal house here, suggests Etienne Boisvert, spokesperson for the Canadian royalist movement, the Monarchist League of Canada.
Boisvert emphasizes that the royal house has always been able to renew itself and believes that it is time to make a radical decision.
10,000 monarchists
– Another possibility is that the British monarch turns, and lives six months in Canada, six months in Australia and six months in London, specifies Boisvert.
The royalist is not the only one to face these thoughts. Other members of the Monarchist League, which has 10,000 members in Canada, have raised the possibility of permanently installing members of the royal family in each of the 16 countries where Queen Elizabeth is currently monarch.
Another member of the monarchist league admits that Prince Harry is unlikely to become king of Canada and believes that there is a greater possibility of achieving the goal of giving members of the royal families titles linked to the Canada.
Many want a republic
– In the same way that Prince Charles is Prince of Wales, we can give the most eminent members of the royal family titles linked to Canadian regions, explains Eugène Berezovsky.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to receive a warm welcome when they arrive in Canada on Thursday, but that doesn’t mean the monarchy’s future is assured. Some polls have shown that as many as two in three Canadians want the country to become a republic.
The British court will not comment on the idea of Harry establishing his own court in Ottawa.
