Can a roman catholic person marry into the British royal family?

[scirwode]

RC's have always been able to marry Royals. However, in the past, the Royal would have to remove themselves from the succession. That law will soon be changed (if it hasn't already). The change was to be made as part of the changes to the laws regarding the boys first rule.

AS Queen Elizabeth is the Defender of the Church of england I doubt it very much that any member of the immediate Royal family could marry a Catholic.

A Roman Catholic can marry into the British Royal family if he or she becomes a member of the Church of England. For example, Canadian Autumn Kelly, who married Elizabeth II's grandson, Peter Phillips, was originally a Roman Catholic.

The prohibition against marrying Roman Catholics, however, has not changed since Parliament enacted the Act of Settlement in 1701. The purpose of this act, of course, was to keep the Roman Catholic Stuarts from regaining the throne.

It hasn't been changed yet, i think we have more important things to think about at this time,like how to find jobs for nearly 3 million people and how to stop our soldiers being killed in Afghanistan
