when Elizabeth dies they should bury Charles with her and make William king of the United Kingdom and Harry king of Australia, as there is no strict requirement that both kings be the same person.

\n

huh, when Scotland was thinking of leaving the UK I talked up the potential of personal union, but I never turned that around and realized it\u2019s possible for the Commonwealth to have a succession crisis

The Perth Agreement is an agreement made by the prime ministers of the 16 Commonwealth realms during the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in October 2011 in Perth, Australia, concerning amendments to the royal succession laws, namely, replacing male-preference primogeniture, under which male descendants take precedence over females in the line of succession, with absolute primogeniture; ending the disqualification of those married to Roman Catholics;\n and limiting the number of individuals in line to the throne requiring \npermission from the sovereign to marry. However, the ban on Catholics \nand other non-Protestants becoming sovereign and the requirement for the\n sovereign to be in communion with the Church of England remained.

By December 2012, all the realm governments had agreed to implement the proposals. New Zealand chaired a working group to determine the process for reform. The Commonwealth realms\u2014the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis\u2014are\n independent of each other, while sharing one person as monarch in a \nconstitutionally equal fashion. It was affirmed that legislation in \nthose realms that required it would commence when the appropriate \ndomestic arrangements were in place in all the realms and the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom announced on 26 March 2015 that the amendments had come into effect \u201cacross\u201d every realm;[1][2][3] Canada\u2019s law was challenged in court but has been upheld.[4][5]
