If someone killed the queen...

Well you'd still get done for High Treason which I imagine has a very long death sentence but there's been no cases in recent history so who knows.

I imagine you'd be shot by the guards or maybe the army would treat it as a coup d tat and kill you? If the whole royal family died then a time of war might be declared and during times of war, our constitution and EU laws permit executions.

Someone's been watching Valkyrie and doesn't understand what a coup d'état is.

The royal family will never be completely killed off. The list of successors to the throne, in order, is 100+ people long.

the list of royals to succed the throne goes on and on, the 8th in line to our throne is a 1 year old baby comon. more royals keep squirting out babies and we will have an everlasting royal family.

lets just hope if someone does murder a royal they dont get sentenced to a scottish prision and then get released soon after.

Fgs will everyone shut up about hanging and crap. Kill the queen without being shot yourself in the process and you'll go to prison. That's it :eusa_wall.

I reckon it would just be a normal term

The person who assassinated John F Kennedy (US president) got assassinated himself.

So I suppose the assassinator would be assassinated.

But does the queen have any followers that loyal?

It also depends if the assassinator is British. If they come from a country with the death penalty that are allies with Britain they could very well be tried and executed in their own country. If the countries government had any involvement in the assassination however, then war would be declared and as previously said in time of war EU laws permit execution and he would be executed here. Or the British Government would secretly assassinate him, make it look like an accident, Labour are pretty much done with now so even if the fact they killed him got out Gordon brown would just resign, retire a few months early. I'm actually surprised Labour haven't tried something like this yet (Not necessarily assassinating someone) but something that under normal circumstances would ruin their political careers, they could still claim money for stuff, make the most of their last year, it's pointless them trying to save their careers because unless the British capture Bin Ladin between now and next election, Labours approval rating will be pretty damned low.

Anyway back on topic, I don't actually think killing the Queen should be considered High Treason. The Queen does nothing, killing her would make no difference to the Government or Britain (Other than televised news ratings would soar for a few days). Killing the Queen isn't exactly overthrowing the Government in fairness. And if the Queen is riding along in her carriage, waving to the people and someone in the crowd starts shooting, whether you hit her or not I don't think any of the police officers or army men protecting her will think twice about pulling out their gun and putting a bullet in your head. I doubt you'd even make it to trial.

She does more good to this country than harm.

FOOLS. THE LOT OF YOU, FOOLS.

The Queen provides an attraction. We make millions off her. Hundreds of millions probably. She's THE tourist attraction of England. Americans seem to love HRH, along with other europeans than ourselves. I've been to watch the trooping of the colour twice. So by the time I've bought a few drinks, had lunch out, bought a tacky souvenier for me gran on two different occasions, I've just helped to provide for the tax payers of Britain, like thousands, I dunno maybe millions, of tourists before me that year.

If they killed the royal family and left no heir they would become the monarch so they can pass a law prohibiting the arrest of the monarch
