His full title, however, is His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, Baron Carrickfergus, Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Master of Arts.
The Dark Arts?!
This thread is hilarious.
That, I believe, is the title he has got for his degree. Nothing esoteric about it at all.
A Master of Arts in Scotland can refer to an undergraduate academic degree in humanities and social sciences awarded by the ancient universities of Scotland – the University of St Andrews, the University of Glasgow, the University of Aberdeen and the University of Edinburgh, while the University of Dundee and Heriot-Watt University also award this degree as a consequence of their history, with the University of Dundee having a history of being a constituent college of the University of St Andrews. Undergraduate MAs are also awarded, with several material differences, by the other ancient universities in the British Isles: Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin

Whilst you are largely correct in saying that their "power" is constrained, it isn't by any Law or other Act of Parliament and isn't set in stone.
The Queen has the power to act as she see's fit,
but it would trigger a constitutional crisis if she did, as you correctly allude to. The behaviour of the Monarch is entirely governed by precedent and process, not by any legal framework.
The Queen can, if she so desired, dissolve Parliament at her discression. There was alot of talk in 2007 and 2008 she may actually do that to unseat the (unelected) Gordon Brown who was deeply unpopular and was seen as one of the persons responsible for the economic trouble.
The Military swear allegiance and for the most part, are a damned site more loyal to the Queen than they are the Politicians. In 1976, the UK came very close to a Military coup because of the actions of PM Howard Wilson. The Queens Uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, was touted a possible leader of this plot.
A link....
That said, the Queen did dissolve the Australian Parliament in the 1975 (good decade for constitutional crisis) due to a crisis within the Government where budgets couldn't be passed and they faced votes of no confidence. The Governor General dissolved the Parliament and forced elections, which the Australian PM had no power to stop and did not request. However, I believe this was seen in Australia as a necessary act to perform as their Government was going belly up.
The Governor-General may appoint officers to administer such departments of State of the Commonwealth as the Governor-General in Council may establish. Such officers shall hold office during the pleasure of the Governor-General.
So, the power is still there and in the "colonies" too,
The Governor-General may appoint officers to administer such departments of State of the Commonwealth as the Governor-General in Council may establish.
His bloodline can be traced back to the biblical House of David, and possibly Jesus himself, as well to the historical figure remembered as Satan.

Daniel 11:37 "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."
Prince William cannot possibly be the Antichrist. The people of the world would not accept a figure like him to be their savior or god. Now if he was a spiritual leader or "teacher" then people would be more inclined to accept him. He (William) may be a satanist of some sort or occultist but not Antichrist. Note the above Scripture says Antichrist will not have the desire for women. If anything he will seek to lead the world astray to worship him and Satan, and make himself out to be a god. He may even lead a New Age movement of self-divinity to the masses, while all the while simply lying and demanding worship under a strict brutal spiritual one world order.

That is completely false - the first act constraining the monarch was the Bill of Rights in 1689, and then the Act of Settlement 1701.

The courts have also upheld the inability of hte crown to act as he or she seems fit - eg see en.wikipedia.org... where a governemnt tried to use Royal Prerogative to effectively alter statute.

As abovde - that is compltely incorrect.

Inded there was a lot of talk - which is competely irrelevant. She couldnt' dismiss him, didn't try, and it was only the "chattering classes" who thought is possible.

There was talk and nothing more - your assertion that it was very close is nothing more than typical ATS hyperbole - and it was 1974, not 1976 - en.wikipedia.org...

As you say it was the Governor-General and not the Queen, and the dismissal of the parliament was completely within the terms of section 64 of hte Australian constitutional Act, which read, in part:

- so the monarch (through the GG) was acting in accordance with legislation.
Originally posted by Aloysius the Gaul
Yes the Ausies decided they didn't like that and removed it....so yet again the monarch is constrained by statute.
Originally posted by Aloysius the Gaul
Uh...no......
1/ The power to act "as she liked" was as defined by statute, and
2/ that statute has been changed - it now reads (in part):
The Governor-General may appoint officers to administer such departments of State of the Commonwealth as the Governor-General in Council may establish.
- the "governor-General in council" is the GG + the cabinet - ie the PM and ministers, so the monarch, through the GG, is, as always, bound by the legislation.

Everyday on ATS you read the silliest thread imaginable, and every day a new record is set.

The Arthurian archetype is far removed from the notion of an anti-Christ.
As for Prince William, he does not fit the criteria. The anti-Christ should come out of the middle east, scripturally speaking, most likely modern day Iraq or Syria.
