I would use my position to create more equity and fairness in my kingdom and I would refuse to parley with King Donald I of the breakaway American colonies. If he should happen to be shipwrecked on our shores I would send him straight to The Tower of London to await his inevitable execution. Upon his death, Robert the Tyrant would probably claim the American throne heralding at least a decade of war between our nations.

So you can still be Katherine I in England or, as I said earlier, Katherine III in Russia, if you want to and can get the current royal family (and Parliament, don’t forget Parliament) to agree.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-67597174487685845032020-09-14T15:00:56.517-04:002020-09-14T15:00:56.517-04:00Sorry google betrayed me, you can't believe ev...Sorry google betrayed me, you can't believe everything you read on the internet. ;)<br />I found this on answers.com and since they sound like an unlucky bunch of Catherines, I think that I will pass on the royal throne.<br />"There have been 5 Queen Catherine or Katherine before Kate Middleton and she will be the 6th.<br /><br />The five Catherines have been: Catherine of Valois, Princess of France, wife of Henry V; Catherine of Aragon, Princess of Spain, 1st wife of Henry VIII; Catherine Howard, 5th wife of Henry VIII; Catherine Parr, 6th and final wife of Henry VIII; and Catherine of Braganza, Princess of Portugal, who married Charles II."<br /><br /><br />Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710629007170091862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-78083326852901482172020-09-14T14:30:55.473-04:002020-09-14T14:30:55.473-04:00Kathy, what country would you be queen of?

Leaving aside the Great K Or C Controversy (which I just invented), England has never had a monarch named Katherine so you would be Katherine I there. Henry VIII and Charles II both had wives name Catherine, but not being the actual monarch they didn’t have numbers affixed. In Russia, Catherine the Great was actually Catherine II, so you would be C(K)atherine III there. Where would you be Katherine VI? They don’t make up these numbers out of thin air, you know!<br /><br />I certainly do remember “Henry the Eighth I Am, I Am, Henry the Eighth I Am” and it takes me back!rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-14143470944205468122020-09-14T12:54:56.830-04:002020-09-14T12:54:56.830-04:00Cathy, here's a new word for you: abdication....<b>Cathy,</b> here's a new word for you: abdication.
