Chapter 501: Her Majesty the Queen in the Purple Robe

Victoria was so anxious that she cried!

Her British Empire was fine yesterday, but she was about to become the Queen of the United Kingdom and the Queen of India, marry Brother Hope, and have a bunch of Prince Charmings and Snow Whites. How come the British Empire was gone in the blink of an eye?

If the empire is gone, can she still be a queen? If all of this is gone, can marriage, giving birth to Prince Charming, and Snow White still be a thing?

In addition, will the republicans in London come to Windsor Castle to capture the princess and behead her?

At the thought of beheading, Victoria felt a chill on the back of her head. When she looked back, she saw that a side door had been pushed open at some point. The Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Marlborough, the Viscount of Melbourne and Victoria's mother Ken

Mrs. Hinton and an Anglican Archbishop filed in.

These people did not come empty-handed, they all held something in their hands. The Duke of Wellington was holding a large purple cloak, the Duke of Marlborough was holding a sword, and the Viscount Melbourne was holding a tray. On the tray were placed

There was a roll of unknown documents and a pen, Lady Kensington was holding a crown, and the Archbishop was holding a hardcover Bible.

Is this about wearing a purple robe?

Princess Victoria grew up in an imperial family and was born as the heir to the British Empire. Therefore, she was raised as a queen since she was a child. Of course she knew the allusion of "purple robe and body" - this happened in October 1804.

, it was during the Third Anti-French Alliance War, and the French ruling government received false news that the British army was about to land in Normandy, so it decided that Napoleon, who would be in power for life, would lead the army to attack. The army marched to Camp Sergis on the outskirts of Paris.

In the early morning of the next day, a large number of French officers and soldiers suddenly gathered in front of the camp where Napoleon was staying, and issued a declaration, requesting that he be the emperor for life! At dawn, Napoleon got up, and senior officers from various ministries came in to see him. They all said: "France has no king, and we are willing to take action."

The ruler is the emperor." Before Napoleon could say anything, someone put a purple robe on him, and then everyone paid homage and shouted long live.

This period of history had only passed a few years ago, and of course Victoria remembered it clearly, so when she saw the Duke of Wellington and others, she immediately stopped crying - Napoleon didn't cry back then, so she couldn't cry either, and had to act stronger!

The Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Marlborough, the Viscount Melbourne, Lady Kensington and the Anglican Archbishop William Howley were already standing in front of Victoria. Other British dignitaries in the throne room also knew that they wanted to wear purple robes.

He quickly rushed up and stood behind the Duke of Wellington and others.

As soon as everyone stood up, the Duke of Wellington and others spoke together: "Now that Emperor William is no longer here, please ask Her Royal Highness to ascend the throne in accordance with the "Act of Succession"!

People in Windsor Castle actually don't know whether Emperor William is there or not. But they know that no one can contact Emperor William for the time being. For these rebellious officials, this is the last chance.

We must get Victoria crowned Queen of the United Kingdom before the outcome of the Battle of London is decided!

Because only when Victoria ascends the throne can she convene a parliament, appoint a prime minister, and organize a responsible cabinet according to customary practices. The parliament, prime minister, responsible cabinet, and a king who rules without rule symbolize the legal system of the United Kingdom!

With this legal system, governments and armies in various places can legally loyal to the Windsor Castle regime, and only then can the Windsor Castle regime have the capital to compete with the London Commune or the emperor's court for the dominance of the United Kingdom.

Otherwise, no matter how high the reputation of the Duke of Wellington is, he will not have the right to mobilize the army. Unless he, like Cromwell, throws away the British crown and becomes the ruler of the Republic. But that is a job that will lose his head after death.

!

So what the Duke of Wellington wants to do now is still the Prime Minister of Great Britain

Princess Victoria was familiar with Napoleon's "routine" of wearing purple robes, and she said nothing at this time.

When the Duke of Wellington saw Princess Victoria sitting still, he knew that this little girl had also read "The Chronicles of Napoleon I" and knew how to deal with the purple robe. So he strode forward holding the purple cloak.

, when he got behind Victoria, he shook off his purple cloak and threw it on the heir to the throne of the United Kingdom.

After the purple robe is added to the body, of course all the ministers will kneel down (one knee), and then the mountain will shout long live the mountain.

"Long live my king!"

"Long live the Queen of the United Kingdom!"

"God save the Queen!"

When everyone's cheers ended, Queen Victoria nodded to everyone and said: "We are not sure that His Majesty the Emperor is dead. Under such circumstances, can I legally inherit the throne of the United Kingdom?"

Viscount Melbourne immediately walked to Victoria holding his tray, knelt down on one knee, held the tray high, and said loudly: "My Majesty, this is an emergency bill that has just been passed by the upper and lower houses of Parliament. This bill allows the heir to the throne to succeed the king."

You take over the throne and become the monarch of the United Kingdom when you lose contact. You do not have to return the throne after the previous king appears. As the first presumptive heir to the throne and the regent when the king is unable to fulfill his responsibilities, you only need to sign the bill to make it legal.

Become Queen of the United Kingdom!"

Look, how legal is this usurpation of the throne? It is indeed the British Empire where the king is under the law!

But now that a civil war has broken out in London, how did more than a thousand members of the upper and lower houses of the British Parliament vote? Is it possible to make up votes afterwards?

Of course Victoria would not ask this question. She only nodded and said: "Since the parliament passed the bill, I should sign it and make it effective."

As she spoke, she picked up the pen in the tray and signed her name on the text of the bill in the tray - signing a bill by herself declared that it was legal for her to usurp the throne. This is the king under the law!

However, Britain is not only a country where the king is under the law, but also a country where kingship is granted by God.

In order for Victoria to legally usurp the throne, she must have the Anglican Archbishop William Howley recognize and crown her on behalf of the Anglican Church!

Of course, if the archbishop does not approve, Victoria cannot be forcibly crowned. She can only change to an archbishop. The British monarch is the head of the church, so Victoria, who acts as king, can change as many bishops as she wants!

This is the benefit of religious revolution!

At this time, it was Archbishop William Howley's turn to perform. He was wearing a robe, a diadem, a cross around his neck, and a Bible in his hand. He looked like he had boundless power and announced loudly: "Holy Saint

The Guild believes that it is God’s will for Princess Victoria to become the Queen of the United Kingdom. She will be the Queen blessed by God and the Queen to whom all God’s believers in the United Kingdom must be loyal!”

As he spoke, he handed the Bible, which symbolized God's will, to Victoria. Victoria held the Bible and looked at everyone solemnly, and then said in a serious tone: "Please crown me in the name of God!"

"As you command, my lord!"

The archbishop immediately took the crown from the tray held by the Duchess of Kensington - not the jewel-encrusted St. Edward's crown, but the gold crown ordered by Victoria's uncle George IV in 1820.

It was cast and had a simple shape. The archbishop held the crown in his hand, walked behind Victoria, and gently placed it on Victoria's head.

From this moment on, Princess Victoria became Queen Victoria!
