Queen's Letter
Herewith is a letter, the general format of which is familiar to many of us. Note the words "as constitutional Sovereign The Queen would not personally comment on the matter." At least it was a reply. We have written to the Palace more than once to ask if the Queen is still Sovereign, we have not received a reply.
Let us consider these words which only imply that the Queen might still be Sovereign. The choice of the words "would not" is interesting. Could we read this as:
'if the Queen was still constitutional sovereign' ? Could the words "would not" mean 'cannot', which would imply that the Sovereign to whom all of Parliament is subordinate by oath is for some reason prevented from communicating, answering a question or making a comment to her subjects when they address her personally, regardless of the fact that the Queen holds office only with the express permission and approval of her subjects.
On the other hand the words "as constitutional Sovereign" might suggest that it is accepted by the establishment that the Queen is still sovereign regardless of her having broken her coronation oath, and broken the law by signing up to the Treaty of Rome, the EU constitution and the Lisbon Treaty. If this is the case then the Queen as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces must be held to account for committing her soldiers to engagements in foreign lands believed by many authorities to be unlawful engagements, and for placing her soldiers in engagements outside the limitation of their oaths of allegiance.
And as constitutional Sovereign and official Governor of the nation the Queen must be held to account for the actions of her governments, not least for placing the British people under foreign law in defiance of constitutional constraint, in particular the Bill of Rights 1689. Also, as constitutional Sovereign and official Governor of the Protestant Church of England the Queen must be held to account for leading our Church towards the Roman Catholic Church as witnessed on our driving licences and at our international airports.
Were the words "would not" chosen randomly or with special care? BL
