Not long after, the two princesses appeared. General Mountbatten smiled and chatted with the two princesses, and his two daughters also joined in. Only Alan Wilson had no political style and was like a wooden stake standing there listening attentively.
Disrespecting members of the royal family? That doesn't exist. Don't think that only countries with absolute monarchies have laws on how to deal with rebellion. The United Kingdom also has a treason bill.
Crimes include: killing the king, the princess, the king's eldest son, or the person who intends to do so, raping the princess, the unmarried princess, or the wife of the king's eldest son, provoking a war against the king in domestic territory, treating the king's enemies as
Provide us with assistance and rest, forge royal seals, national seals, and domestic currency, possess counterfeit currency in domestic territory, and kill officials or judges in the execution of their duties.
In modern society, the High Treason Act has been revised to a certain extent. In the past, don’t think that the penalty of vehicular dismemberment did not exist in the UK. The Great Treason Act was also implemented in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
"Is this Pamela's fiancé?" Crown Prince Elizabeth glanced at Alan Wilson and asked gently.
"Yes, Crown Prince, we met in New Delhi." Pamela Mountbatten said with a knowing smile, "He doesn't know much about royal etiquette, and he just said to avoid speaking."
Didn't you say it happily? Crown Prince Elizabeth chuckled in her heart, and she and her sister heard it clearly.
Alan Wilson coughed softly, not out of embarrassment or anything, but he always felt that Princess Margaret was looking at him like an interrogating prisoner.
"Lord, Philip also said that if you don't come back, this wedding will be meaningless." Crown Prince Elizabeth said softly, "If he knew that you came to Windsor Castle, he would be very happy."
"In Westminster Abbey?" After General Mountbatten asked, he saw the Crown Prince nodding and said, "It is an honor for me to attend this wedding. After witnessing the Crown Prince's wedding, I will return to the British Empire.
India has dealt with the matter of Indian independence."
Westminster Abbey is the highest-status church in the UK. In addition to members of the royal family, great figures in many fields in the UK are also buried here.
Westminster Abbey is actually neither the main church of the archdiocese nor a church in the parish. It is a church that is known to be exclusive to the royal family. The dean and its regulations are determined by the royal family.
"Is it difficult to cope with it?" Princess Margaret asked, obviously she was much more lively than her sister.
"It is indeed difficult to deal with, and this is not a very acceptable task." Mountbatten shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "As the last Governor-General of British India in the British Empire, I have very complicated emotions."
Crown Prince Elizabeth suddenly remembered what Alan Wilson said just now, hoping to adjust his mentality. He sighed in his heart, it seems that the country he is in now is a country facing troubled times, nobles? Civil servants?
This was really frustrating to Alan Wilson. If he hadn't been at Windsor Castle, he would have already talked to Mountbatten about drying up the money printing presses and making them smoke. He wanted to talk about more than just British India.
Discussing from the scope of surplus value, British India is not independent yet, and the cabinet still respects Mountbatten very much, and quickly suggested selling the Nelson-class battleship to Portugal and taking over the loan that the Americans were about to give to Portugal.
Now it's better to get one lump sum at a time than to dismantle the battleship and sell it for scrap.
"Philip has been looking forward to his uncle's return." Crown Prince Elizabeth chuckled, "It's so happy that you can come back to witness our wedding."
"This is my honor, and of course it is also Philip's luck." Mountbatten sighed. It was definitely not as easy as described in fairy tales for this wedding to finally happen.
From the very beginning, King George VI did not agree with his daughter Elizabeth marrying Philip. The reasons were very simple. Firstly, the daughter was too young. Secondly, Philip was not independent enough. To put it bluntly, he did not have a few coins in his pocket. At that time, the Greek royal family
Being chased back and forth, Philip spent a turbulent childhood. Although he said he was a prince, he was actually a poor man.
But these two are not the most important reasons. The most important thing is that Philip's three sisters are all married to German princes and have inextricable ties with the National Socialist Party. The advice given by George VI's think tank
There is no need to get married, as there will be no benefits or even big trouble.
Philip's relatives were not invited to this wedding. Also not invited was the abdicated king who was not a country lover but was actually related to Germany. He was the uncle of the current Crown Prince Elizabeth, the former King Edward VIII.
The Crown Prince was about to get married, and Mountbatten did not interrupt him too much. He asked about the schedule and left. After walking out of Windsor Castle, General Mountbatten said to Alan Wilson, "Why don't you say a word? This is not like you."
ah."
"Dear Governor, I still know what authority is." Alan Wilson took a deep breath and said, "The Crown Prince is widely loved in the empire. This wedding will definitely be the focus of attention. How can I speak? I can only witness it.
Very lucky."
"Look at Alan, how humble he is." Patricia said, and then looked at her husband, John Brabourne. He felt that his husband had talked a lot just now.
When the two got married, Crown Prince Elizabeth went to Ramsey Abbey to attend her wedding, and Prince Philip of Greece was responsible for the reception. After an extra year, the protagonists changed to the Crown Prince and Prince Philip. The fate was quite strange.
The Mountbatten family got into their own cars and returned to the same destination. They just became three couples taking different cars.
"The Crown Prince will be getting married soon. I believe Prince Phillip must be very happy now!" Pamela Mountbatten was looking forward to that day and seemed to be looking forward to the grand occasion. "It's a pity that when we got married, she was the bridesmaid.
Maybe Princess Margaret is the only one left."
"Oh, I'm very honored." Alan Wilson did not forget to take care of his fiancée's emotions while driving.
However, whether Prince Philip is happy is a question worthy of discussion. It depends on whether the current prince has accepted his fate.
Crown Princess Elizabeth is a member of the British Empire, which at this point in time has a great reputation.
As for Prince Philip? Because of the political turmoil in Greece, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been living a life of dependence on others. Elizabeth's marriage to him is a standard downbringing, which is absolutely correct.
Elizabeth did not marry Philip, but Philip "married" into England and was about to start his own career as a son-in-law.
This kind of thing does not distinguish between East and West. It is also a very difficult thing to accept in the West. Do women have to change their names after marriage? Even if they don’t change their names, they already have a profound background.
What Prince Philip encountered was not the question of whether the Crown Prince should change his name, but that as soon as the day comes for Crown Prince Elizabeth to ascend the throne, he must change his name, and their children will also have to change their names to follow the royal family name.
It's no wonder that Prince Philip had a lover when he was still young and strong. As for being too old to be able to see him, that's another matter.
"My dear, if we get married, you won't let me change my surname, right?" Seeing that he was approaching General Mountbatten's house, Alan Wilson suddenly asked this question.
Whether Prince Philip can think about it has nothing to do with him, that is someone else's business after all, but this matter involves himself. It is not the time to stand and talk without pain in the back.
"No, I won't make it so difficult for you." Pamela Mountbatten thought for a moment and said, "Can I keep my last name?"
We Chinese women keep our surnames when we get married! Alan Wilson pretended to be generous and said, "Of course, I have to take care of your father's emotions and cannot erase the traces of belonging to the Mountbatten family on you."
He conveniently sold a face that was not worth a penny, but it also made Pamela Mountbatten very happy and felt that she had chosen the right person.
It must be admitted that the problem of favoring sons over daughters does exist. Alan Wilson saw a piece of news that Wu Guangzheng, a wealthy man in Hong Kong, made a will in which his son received 500 billion and his daughter received 800 million.
This can be based on tradition, but this is actually not the first time Wu Guangzheng has encountered this kind of thing. His father-in-law is actually more famous than him, and Wu Guangzheng is the son-in-law of the chartering king.
The chartering king had no sons, only four daughters. In the end, the inheritance was naturally divided among the four daughters.
In fact, in their respective eras, the Charter King was far more famous than Wu Guangzheng. But death is like a light going out. Thirty years after his death, how many people can still remember the Charter King?
Where's his name?
Wu Guangzheng's reputation is likely to be remembered, because he has a son to inherit the family property. As long as his descendants continue to be named Wu and live a privileged life in the upper class, his name will be mentioned over and over again.
This is something that can't be helped, so the more it seems that the upper class has everything and is powerful, in fact, it does not have the idea of equality between men and women. Xiangjiang is an area hardest hit by the preference for boys over girls.
The two people who got out of the car holding hands, as if their relationship had been sublimated a little bit, slowly entered Mountbatten's residence. Alan Wilson, who was tired of holding back at Windsor Castle, began to look for an opportunity to talk about Portugal's purchase of a battleship.
When he finally saw that all the women had entered the kitchen, he moved closer to Mountbatten and asked around for a chance to speak.
"What do you have?" General Mountbatten glanced sideways at Alan Wilson, "You civil servants always talk like this, never getting to the point."
"There will definitely be envoys from various countries expressing their congratulations on the Crown Prince's wedding. After all, it is a big event for the whole world." Alan Wilson said as if his father-in-law was saving me. "The Portuguese may take the opportunity to find you, the Governor, and discuss it."
one thing."
"What did you promise the Portuguese again?" General Mountbatten looked suspicious and his tone was full of distrust.
