Now watch the colonial make a fool of himself...(then stand aside for the poms and others that know/care about these things reveal the truth.
The Queen Mum was Queen to the King - the erstwhile Duke of Norfolk - that took the throne when the previous King took off with Mrs Simpson. As such she was not really the Queen. So, when the King died, it was his eldest child - Elizabeth - that inherited the throne. In doing so Mummy lost the gig.
Same when ERII dies, Phil the Greek won't get the job if he's still around - it'll be The Prince of Wales. Now, as to who (or what!!) he'll have as a Queen is very interesting. He'd hafta be another candidate for abdication wouldn't he?
