Can a king or queen be asked to leave his/her thrown?

Question

Can a king or queen be asked to leave his/her thrown?

Answer 1

A government in a Constitutional monarchy can order a monarch to abdicate. If a country becomes a republic then the monarchy is dissolved but it's not the same.

Answer 2

What is a thrown? Is that when you throw them off their throne?

Answer 3

Wallis Simpson? Remember? And King Edward had to choose between her & the British Throne?

Yes, I think you could safely say that a King or Queen could be asked to leave their 'thrown'.

Answer 4

No. but mind your spelling  it is not thrown, it is throne, my dear.

Answer 5

They can be asked, but it doesn't mean they'll do it.

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. They were forced off their 'throwns' and executed.

Answer 6

Yes, it's called abdication when they give it up.  Edward was told to give up the throne in order to marry Wallis.  Why don't some of you who use this Yahoo feature use the spell checker???

Answer 7

yeah just like the russians did to their monarchies.

Answer 8

Yes. King Charles I of England (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649) was King of England, King of Scotland and King of Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649. It was the first and last time the British became a republic nation. Chares I was put under house arrest after engaging in a struggle for power with the Parliament of England. The monarchy was then abolished and a republic called the Commonwealth of England was declared in 1649.

Charles's son, Charles II, became King after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.

To set the record straight, King Edward VIII of England abolished the throne by his own free will. Legally Edward could have married Mrs. Simpson and remained king, his various prime ministers opposed the marriage, arguing that the people would never accept her as queen. Edward knew that the ministry of British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin would resign if the marriage went ahead; this could have dragged the King into a general election thus ruining irreparably his status as a politically neutral constitutional monarch. Rather than give up Mrs. Simpson, Edward chose to abdicate, making him the only monarch of Britain, and indeed any Commonwealth Realm, to have voluntarily relinquished the throne. He is one of the shortest-reigning monarchs in British history, and was never crowned.
