Can Northern Ireland royals still be the Monarch of like the British throne. Cause can't Scotland Wales and obviously England be the Monarch.

Also could a Catholic be a monarch of the British throne or would they have to be apart of the Anglican Church?

  1. No Catholic can sit upon the throne ; the Anglican Chrurch is the preferred church because the monarch is "Defender of the Faith." The Queen is monarch of Britain,Scotland,and Ireland(the United Kingdom).

    A good place to learn about the British monarchy is http://www.royal.gov/uk


  2. Northern Ireland ( Ulster) is already part of the United Kingdom so it does have a monarch. It's the Republic of Ireland (Eire) that does not. There are no real Irish monarchs anymore but should the possibility arise then as long as the Ulster candidate is Protestant, nothing should really prevent it.

    As an earlier answer said, no Catholic (or other religion) can take the Crown since the monarch is defender of the faith. Many of the problems in Ireland were caused by a King refusing to change his religion from Catholicism (James II) leading Parliament to offer the throne to both Protestant  daughter and son-in-law (Mary II & William III) leading to armed conflict taking place in Ireland (The Glorious Revolution of 1688) and many Catholic Irishmen were killed by the Dutch William (III) of Orange's soldiers. Thus we still have today's Protestant Orangemen marches through the Catholic parts of Northern Ireland that causes so many problems.

  3. That question minds me of the tubeless tyre :

    ..it's useless if it doesn't fit right.

    Northern Ireland is just a devolved government under the "Belfast" agreement. The articles of this agreement were agreed in plebiscite by the people of The Republic of Ireland and under a similar popular vote in the then "North of Ireland"

    "Royalty" is founded on dynasty.Native Royal dynasty in Ireland came to an end on the Flight of the Earls  in 1607 following the Battle of Kinsale.

    Any new notion of Royalty in Northern Ireland would be in breach of Belfast agreement however devised. The Act of Supremacy holds that the monarch in Britain be an Anglican

    The "Belfast Agreement "was accommodated by a change in the Republic's constitution  .. so it stands an international agreement.

  5. a Catholic could never be the monarch, and "like" I don't know about Northern Ireland. Even if it were possible it certainly isn't likely.
