Kings and Queens of which country??\n\nIn the olden days in some countries even brothers or cousins would seek to wrest the throne from each other.\n\nMany years ago the passage of the Monarchy became more civilised, following normal Line of Succession. Since 1700/1701 the Line of Succession follows that set down in the Act of Settlement as recently revised.\n\n>Can Royalty be evicted into the streets and some one else rule?\n\nWell, not necessarily into the streets. Just check what actually happened in Russia about 1918.\n\nAnd it might be said that "William the Conqueror" (also known by less flattering names) did take the Throne of England by conquest and crowned himself as King.\n\nUsually, though, there is an orderly succession. This is good. It provides stability for the country. Unlike countries who have a new head of state every four or eight years.\n\nThe UK's Royal Family has been in the "business" for over 1,000 years.

I am editor for the show over at tv.com. I loved the show very much. I got the DVDs the day they come out. I was so excited. I watch them quite often.\n\nFor some reason I just Jaye. But come on, how could anyone not? Sharon is also a great character. And how impossible is it to not bop around to the theme song?! I get it in my head more than wanted!\n\nThe network Logo started playing some reruns and all of the episodes that never aired before. They stopped now. I do not know if they have any plans to restart airing them or not.\n\nAmazing show though!

How can you possibly put Queen aginst such crap artists as those?!\nAC/DC maybe, due to them being classic rock\n\nBut the other three will have been forgotten by the end of the decade, I'm sorry, but that's just how it is

Queen, of course, even thou Mr. Bad Guy is not around anymore.\nTheir music is fun, rocky and has some plain good old tunes along with quite meaningful lyrics.\nBut some love them and the rest hate them, there's no middle ground.\nI, for one, will always love them!\nQueen rocks!!

Here in England we are highly amused by the strange views and opinions of the people in the USA. We are particularly confused by their desire to worship actors and by their very poor grasp of geography.\nOur monarchs do not rule us; they are 'left over' from our history. We are a parlimentary democracy. Of course nobody thinks royalty are superior, in fact I can fart much better than the Queen can - I just hope she does not read this else I'll be beheaded.\nBy the way, why are americans such bad spellers?

Quite simply, Europe has the oldest and largest number of monarchies in the World. There are few monarchs outside of Europe, if any. Actually, I can't think of one! Thailand and a couple of tribal leaders in Africa that call themselves Kings but aren't really, is all I can think of. 99% of the Worlds monarchs are IN Europe. So I'm wondering where the other Royalty is that you are talking about. Let me know, what you mean by Royalty and where you think they are. Jules, lecturer, Australia.

I read that the movie is back on.  The guy who created the show is working on the movie now.  Apparently when there was talk of a movie before, Kim Catrall was not on board.  That is why the idea was put on the back burner.  According to In Touch all the characters are on board and the story is supposed to be focused on Carrie's wedding in which she will be marrying Mr. Big.  Also, all of the characters are spread all over the country.  Miranda is the only one living in New York.

probably something gay.don't get me wrong QUEEN was a kick ass rock and roll band in the early days,but Freddy was gay and he didn't broadcast it for everybody to know he kept his personal life to himself,until the last days of his life.

The creators of that show moved on to bigger and better things a long, long time ago.  "King of the Hill" was their next creation, and the movie "Office Space" (hilarious) as well.  Now, Greg Daniels is exec producer of the NBC series "The Office" (based on the British show of the same name).\n\nKeep up!!!!

Kingdom Hospital was a miniseries. They only made 15 episodes or something, and that was the end of the series.  Great stuff though.

Well Ms. Trinidadgyrl, Let the King Approach this one!! This is the major start here: the big influence, the big seller, the most corrupt, the one and only, T.V.!! Through here you have stupid Videos teaching girls how to dress, rather Whore-ish and sluty, and how to present themselves. Teaching young men to grow up and have absolutely no morals and not be Kings. Teaching them to treat women, others with no respect including theirselves.  Rap, provokes selling drugs, doing drugs, and violence. Other songs promote it as well, but through music and TV shows, you have this disease that spreads througout the youth, hell, really anybody! I was raised by a King and a Queen, so that can also play a MAJOR factor on combat against negative moral influences.

That is because they are not a member of the British Commonwealth.  They have separated from England.  Commonwealth countries still have the Queen as the head of the government.  It is nominal at best though.  The Queen has no real official power, just a representative who acts as a figurehead and approves of legislation.  In Canada and other countries, it is the Governor-General.  Coinage has the Queen on them.

History shows they do. \nEven Kings and Queens have bowed down\n\n\nAnother Example-the 60's had big time protests that did.

You are absolutely right. There's been intermittent protest about this issue. One answer is that the style (title) of the monarch is a matter of royal prerogative, which trumps the union and settlement questions. In Scotland, she's now, technically, Elizabeth, Queen of Scots, but the style changes depending upon where she is and whom she's appearing on behalf of.\n\n[The response that asks if you're stupid is completely uncalled for. The user obviously didn't read and understand the question. It's a sad state of affairs when people get on their high horses, only to embarrass themselves like that. You've asked a great question.]

As an American, I have nothing to say about it but then again, the average British subject has nothing to say about it either.  Prince Charles has done very little to regain the popularity he lost following his split with Princess Diana.  His ongoing relationship with Parker-Bowles made him look out of touch with reality, yet the age spread between himself and Diana may have been the biggest problem between the two. They probably could not identify with each others generation. Prince William seems to be the odds on favorite for taking over the throne.  One has to wonder if Charles really wants the job anymore.  His mother could step down and let him have some of the glory, yet she chooses not to relinquish her authority.  I doubt that his marriage to Camille has helped his relationship with mum. So, he may be taking the path of the old Duke of Windsor, its not as though he needs the money.  William would be a fine choice as the next King of England.
