OK, that was going to be my next question. But let me make sure I understand your answer: let's imagine the above scenario, but without the second marriage. So imagine that the two or three years (say) since Harry's hypothetical Jewish wife died, he gradually stopped going to synogogue. Indeed, he now goes to church (to friends' weddings, etc.) more often than he goes to synogogue; but he never has formally made any profession of reconversion. Now his father, brother, and grandmother all die tragically; and Harry ought (genealogically) to be king. If he is willing to take the accession oath that he is a 'faithful Protestant', does he indeed become king?  |
