A legal challenge to the supposed right of Charles Mountbatten-Windsor to be "King Charles III"

 On Thursday 8th September 2022 Mrs. Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor* (commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II") died at Balmoral Castle.

The claim was made on the following day that Mr. Charles Mountbatten-Windsor had implicitly automatically succeeded Mrs. Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor as Monarch of the supposed "United Kingdom" and on 9th September 2022 was already being referred to as "His Majesty the King".

The implicit claim that Mr. Charles Mountbatten-Windsor had "automatically" become King immediately on the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor was made explicit on 10th September 2022.

The Accession Council took place on 10th September 2022.

Later on 10th September 2022 the Garter King of Arms (David White) formally proclaimed Mr. Charles Mountbatten-Windsor (referring to Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor as "The Prince Charles Philip Arthur George") to be "lawful and rightful" (King) "Charles the Third".

There is a multiplicity of legal questions which arise from the events briefly summarised above.

Those legal questions go to the heart of the characteristics of the supposed "Rule of Law" and the supposed "Constitution" of the supposed "United Kingdom".

It is my intention to seek Judicial Review of the supposed accession of Mr. Charles Mountbatten-Windsor supposedly to be "King Charles III", supposedly the Head of State of the supposed "United Kingdom".

Later posts on this blog will set out the reasoning underlying the anticipated Claim for Judicial Review.

I hope to be in a position to post within the next few days a copy of the Letter Before Claim relating to the antcipated Claim for Judicial Review.

* The terminology used in this blog post will, almost certainly, seem strained to those who make (incorrect) assumptions regarding the Monarchy and the supposed unification of Scotland and England in 1707.

Given the fundamental and complex nature of the legal issues at hand I will not attempt to justify here the terminology that I have used. I anticipate that I will include an explanation of my use of terminology in the Letter Before Claim applicable to the anticipated Judicial Review.
