And the Times agrees

I notice that The Times has agreed with what I said yesterday. I said:

after his father, Prince Harry is second in line to the throne. Without wishing his brother any ill-will, there have been occasions in the past where the second son has ascended to the throne. This photo is now in Prince Harry's portfolio. It will be resurrected time and again in the future. Can you imagine if Britain was unfortunate enough to be facing a situation where Prince Harry was about to become King and this photograph was to be published across the world?

They say:

Prince Harry is a younger brother of the son of the Prince of Wales. So was the man who would become King George VI and the man who would be George V before him. He is not a distant figure in the order of succession. He should behave accordingly.

You read it here first.
