Arguments about the Monarchy are as old as the institution itself. But this summer, critics who have been calling for reform were taken by surprise. According to the Political Editor of the Sun newspaper, Trevor Kavanagh, it is the Queen who has recognized the need for change. "She set up the committee four years ago," he said. "They meet every six months, and she, at the age of 70, looks into the future and understands that the Royal Family has to change taking into account the changing times". Buckingham Palace has not revealed all the details about the committee's discussions, but it is clear that the Queen is considering changing some of the Monarchy's more ancient rules. One proposal is to end the law, which foresees that the title of Monarch passes to sons rather than daughters. The present Queen only inherited the title because there were no male heirs. The ban on heirs to the throne marring Roman Catholics has also come under scrutiny. Under the present law, which is 295 years old, a Royal cannot be crowned if he or she is married to a Catholic. 213
