Chapter 377 father-in-law save me
Not long after the two princesses appeared, General Mountbatten showed a smile and chatted with the two princesses, the two daughters also joined in, only Allen Wilson had no key political style, like a wooden stump standing there and shuffling around.
No respect for royalty? That does not exist, do not think that only the monarchy has how to deal with the bill of rebellion, the United Kingdom has the same high treason bill.
The crimes include: killing the king, his consort, the king’s eldest son, or anyone who intends to do so, raping the consort, the unmarried princess, or the wife of the king’s eldest son, waging war against the king on domestic soil, treating the king’s enemies as ours, providing aid and rest, forging the king’s seal, the seal of the kingdom, and the currency in circulation in the country, possessing forged currency on domestic soil, and killing a public official in the course of his duties or a magistrate.
The Act of Treason has been somewhat amended in modern times, and in the old days, don’t think that the penalty of carcassing didn’t exist in England; the Act of Treason was practiced in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
“Is this Pamela’s fiancé?” Crown Prince Elizabeth glanced at Alan Wilson and asked mildly.
“Yes, Crown Prince, we met in New Delhi.” Pamela Mountbatten said with a knowing smile, “He doesn’t know much about royal etiquette, and just now said to avoid opening his mouth.”
Wasn’t that a pleasant thing to say? Crown Princess Elizabeth let out a soft chuckle in her heart, she and her sister were listening very clearly.
Alan Wilson coughed softly, not that he was embarrassed or anything, he always felt that Princess Margaret, seemed to be looking at herself with an interrogating gaze of a prisoner.
“Lord, Philip also said that if you don’t come back, this big wedding is meaningless.” Crown Princess Elizabeth spoke softly, “If he knew that you came to Windsor Castle, he would have been very happy.”
“At Westminster Cathedral?” After General Mountbatten asked the question, he saw the Crown Prince nod his head then said, “It is my honor to attend this wedding, after witnessing the Crown Prince’s wedding, I will be returning to British India to deal with the matter of India’s independence.”
Westminster Cathedral was the highest status church in Britain. In addition to members of the royal family, many of Britain’s great figures in many fields are buried here.
Westminster Abbey was in fact neither the main church of the archdiocese nor a church in the diocese, but was known to be the exclusive church of the royal family, and the prelate who exercised the administration with its statutes had to be decided by the royal family.
“Is it hard to cope?” Princess Margaret opened her mouth to inquire, obviously she was much more lively than her sister.
“It is indeed difficult to cope with, and it is not a very acceptable task.” Mountbatten shook his head and smiled bitterly, “As the last Governor General of British India of the British Empire, I have very mixed feelings.”
Crown Prince Elizabeth snapped back to just now, hearing Alan Wilson’s words, hoping to adjust her mind. The heart sighs, it seems that the country that he is now in, is a country that is facing a lot of trouble it, aristocrats? Public servants?
This can give Alan Wilson suffocated, if not in Windsor Castle, he would have talked to Mountbatten to quickly dry the money printing machine smoking thing, he wants to talk about more than just British India.
Discussed from the scope of the residual value, now British India is not yet independent, the Cabinet is still very respectful of Mountbatten, hastened to suggest that the Nelson class battleships sold to Portugal, the Americans are about to give Portugal’s loan to take over.
Now can set a sum of money is a sum of money, it is better than the battleships dismantled and sold for scrap metal.
“Philip has been looking forward to Uncle’s return.” Crown Princess Elizabeth laughed softly, “It is such a pleasure to have you back to witness our wedding.”
“It is my honor, and of course, Philip’s good fortune.” Mountbatten sighed a little, this wedding was able to finally appear, and it was definitely not as easy as depicted in the middle of a fairy tale.
From the very beginning, King George VI had not agreed to his daughter Elizabeth marrying Philip for the simple reason that his daughter was too young, and Philip was not independent enough, to put it bluntly, he didn’t have a few dimes in his pocket, and at that time the Greek royal family had been chased around, and Philip had had a turbulent childhood, and when he said that he was a prince, he was really a rags-to-riches man.
But these two are not the most important reasons, the most important thing is that Philip’s three sisters are married to German princes, and inextricably linked to the National Socialist Party, George VI’s think tank gave all the advice not to marry, there is no benefit or even big trouble.
The current wedding did not invite Philip’s relatives, also not invited, with no love of the world, in fact, is also related to Germany, the abdicated king, the current Crown Prince Elizabeth’s eldest uncle, the former King Edward VIII.
The Crown Prince is about to get married, Mountbatten did not bother too much, asked about the schedule of arrangements and left. Walking out of Windsor Castle, General Mountbatten only said to Alan Wilson, “Why don’t you say a word, this is not like you.”
“Honorable Governor, I still know what authority means.” Allen Wilson let out a long breath and said, “The crown prince is widely loved in the empire, this big wedding must be the attention of all, how can I have the qualification to speak, I can witness it is already very lucky.”
“Look at Alan, how humble.” Patricia said this and then looked to her husband, John Brabourne, who he felt had just talked a lot.
When the two were married, Crown Prince Elizabeth went to Ramsey Abbey to attend her wedding, and Prince Philip of Greece was responsible for the reception, and for one more year, the protagonists were changed to the Crown Prince and Prince Philip, and the destiny was quite marvelous.
The Mountbatten family, respectively, entered their own cars to return, the destination is the same, only to become three couples in separate cars.
“Immediately the Crown Prince will be married, I believe that now Prince Philip must be very happy!” Pamela Mountbatten was looking forward to that day coming soon, and seemed to envision a grand spectacle, “Unfortunately, when we get married, the only one left to be a bridesmaid might be Princess Margaret.”
“Oh, I’m very honored.” Alan Wilson drove and didn’t forget to take care of his fiancée’s mood.
Whether Prince Philip was happy or not, though, was a debatable question that depended on whether or not the current prince had resigned himself to his fate.
Crown Prince Elizabeth is this at this point in time, there is still a heck of a lot of British Empire.
As for Prince Philip? Because of the political turmoil in Greece, it’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s been living a parasitic life. It is absolutely true that Elizabeth’s marriage to him was a standard downward spiral.
It was not Elizabeth who married Philip, but Philip who “married” into England and was about to embark on a career as a son-in-law in his own right.
This kind of thing does not distinguish between East and West, in the West is also a difficult thing to accept, do not see after the marriage of women have to change their names? Not to change the name is already considered a deep background.
Prince Philip stumbled upon not the Crown Prince whether to change the name of the problem, but as long as the Crown Prince Elizabeth to the throne of the day, he must change his name, along with the heirs of the two men will also have to change their names, following the royal family name.
It was no wonder, then, that Prince Philip had taken lovers while he was still young and strong, and as for being too old to move and look away, that was another matter.
“Darling, if we get married, you won’t make me change my last name, will you?” Alan Wilson suddenly opened his mouth to ask this question as he saw that he was almost at General Mountbatten’s house.
Whether Prince Philip was able to think away or not had nothing to do with him, that was, after all, someone else’s business, but this matter involved himself. It was not the time to stand and talk.
“No, I won’t make it so difficult for you.” Pamela Mountbatten thought for a moment and said, “Will I be able to keep my surname?”
We Chinese women keep our surnames when we get married! Alan Wilson pretended to be generous and said, “Of course, I have to take care of your father’s sentiments and can’t erase the traces of you belonging to the Mountbatten family.”
In passing, he sold a face that was not worth a penny, but also made Pamela Mountbatten very joyful and felt that she had not chosen the wrong person.
It must be admitted that the problem of son preference does exist, Alan Wilson saw a news story, the rich man Wu Guangzheng in Xiangjiang made a will, the son got five hundred billion dollars, the daughter had eight hundred million dollars.
This can also be pulled towards the traditional above, but Wu Guangzheng in fact is not the first time to encounter this kind of thing, his father-in-law is in fact more famous than him, Wu Guangzheng is the son-in-law of the king of the packet ship.
The king has no son, only four daughters, the final inheritance naturally divided into four daughters.
In fact, in their respective times, the fame of the King of Bao Boats was far greater than Wu Guang was about to be. But the death of a man is like the extinction of a lamp, after thirty years of his death, how many people can still remember the name of the King of Bao Boats?
Wu Guangzheng’s fame, however, was likely to be remembered because he had a son to inherit the family fortune, and as long as his descendants kept the surname Wu and lived a privileged life in the upper class, his name would be mentioned over and over again.
This is something that can’t be helped, so the more it looks like nothing is lacking, the more powerful the upper class is, in fact, instead of having that idea of equality between men and women, Xiangjiang is the hardest hit area of patriarchy.
Hand in hand under the car of the two, seems to have sublimated feelings so billion points, slowly into the residence of Mountbatten. In Windsor Castle suffocated enough Allen Wilson, began to look for opportunities to talk about Portugal to buy battleships.
Finally saw the women have entered the kitchen, only to come to the side of Mountbatten, asking questions looking for the opportunity to open.
“You have business?” General Mountbatten squinted at Alan Wilson, “You civil servants are always like that when you talk, slow to get to the point.”
“The Crown Prince’s big wedding must have envoys from various countries expressing their congratulations, after all, this is a big event for the whole world.” Alan Wilson said with a father-in-law-save-me look on his face, “The Portuguese may take the opportunity to find you, the Governor, to discuss a matter.”
“And what have you promised the Portuguese?” General Mountbatten looked suspicious and his tone was full of distrust.
