So they didnt change the law recently on succession? So that if W had had a girl she could succeed if W died which would have prevented H succeeding him. No its a boy doesnt matter!!
They changed the Law on Succession only to allow a first born Female to inherit, as it happens, the law change did nothing to the line of succession as William/Kate had a Boy. It had nothing to do with preventing Harry being King, but just trying to be an "enlightened 21st Century Monarchy" that wouldn't exclude a female simply because she was one.
You clearly do not understand what you're talking about.edit on 18/8/13 by stumason because: (no reason given)
Oh yes it did! If W had had a boy and then died!! Harry would have been a non bloodline King!!!

I'm not being naive, it is clear just by looking at Harry that he is Charles son - besides, even if he wasn't, he wouldn't be the first illegitimate King on the throne.
Either way, your assertion they changed the succession laws to stop him being King is just bollocks. He was 3rd in line and was always going to be pushed down to 4th on the arrival of a son for William, all the law did was ensure that females had the same succession rights as males.

Wittingly or unwittingly, Princess Di created a problem for the establishment. Her high-profile campaign against land mines threatened to undermine the UK's single most economically important industry - the international arms trade. Her sons are the sole heirs to the British throne, and Diana was becoming too popular and too powerful. Somehow, she had to be stopped. A few centuries ago a courtier in Diana's position could be easily disposed of at the Tower of London, but these days the authorities are more sophisticated.

One of the aspects the elites did not like about her. He needs to be cautious.

He still is in line, he hasn't been removed.. He's just 4th instead of 3rd now, as he was always going to be onec William had a kid. The succession law change had sod all to do with removing him from the line of succession, as it turns out your point is moot as William had a boy. I am at a loss as to why you're still clinging to this.

Generally speaking, not really. 2001 actually saw a drop in the amount of terrorist attacks from the previous year, globally and if you're not an American, you do not quite attach the same significance to the 9/11 attacks. Aside from the obvious, 2001 was yet another year where stuff happened, same as any other.

Quickest way to get Charles out of the way so new Daddy and oh-so-lovable Prince William can take the throne and restore the goodwill towards the Monarchy?
Implicate Charles as complicit in Diana's death, or, privately threaten him with reveal of his knowledge of her death, and if he doesn't bite and abdicate, launch a new "investigation" to show him how serious you are.
This is all a play to get William on the throne faster.
