That is not going to happen, unless he converts to the Catholic Faith and tells his mother she is not the “head of the Church in England” and denounces the law that says a Catholic cannot be king or queen in England.

Starve the Irish Catholics? Steal their land? Does he not see the statue of “Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland” outside the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in Westminster, London? Cromwell, who slaughtered one million of the Irish and sent thousands of Irish widowed women to be slaves in the Bahamas? Is he that blind?
