British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 377: father-in-law save me

Not long after, the two princesses appeared. General Mountbatten smiled and chatted with the two princesses. The two daughters also joined in. Only Alan Wilson had no political demeanor, and was listening like a wooden stake and pestle.

Disrespect the royal family? That doesn't exist. Don't think that only autocratic monarchies have laws on how to deal with rebellions. Britain also has laws on big crimes.

Crimes include: killing a king, a queen, the king's eldest son, or those with intent, **** a queen, an unmarried princess, or the king's eldest son's wife, provoking war against the king in domestic territory, treating the king's enemies as For our side, provide aid and rest, counterfeit royal seals, national seals, and currency circulating in the country, hold counterfeit currency in domestic territory, kill officials or judges in the execution of their duties.

In modern society, the Great Offenses Act has been revised to a certain extent. If it was in the past, don't think that the penalty of car splitting did not exist in the UK. The Great Offenses Act was implemented in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

"Is this Pamela's fiancé?" Crown Prince Elizabeth glanced at Ellen Wilson and asked gently.

"Yes, Crown Prince, we met in New Delhi." Pamela Mountbatten said with a knowing smile, "He doesn't know much about the etiquette of the royal family, and he just said to avoid speaking."

Isn't it pretty fun to say? Crown Prince Elizabeth chuckled in her heart, and she and her sister could hear it clearly.

Ellen Wilson coughed softly, not embarrassment or anything. He always felt that Princess Margaret looked at him with the eyes of a prisoner.

"Lord, Philip also said that if you don't come back, this big wedding will be meaningless." Crown Prince Elizabeth said softly, "If he knows you are coming to Windsor Castle, he will be very happy."

"At Westminster Abbey?" After General Mountbatten asked, he saw the crown prince nodded and said, "It is my honor to be able to attend this wedding. After witnessing the crown prince's wedding, I will return to the British Empire. India has dealt with Indian independence."

Westminster Abbey is the highest church in England. In addition to members of the royal family, great figures from many fields in the UK are also buried here.

In fact, Westminster Abbey is neither the main church of the archdiocese nor the church in the parish, but a church that is known to the royal family.

"Is it difficult to deal with?" Princess Margaret asked, obviously she was much more lively than her sister.

"It's really difficult to deal with, and it's not a very acceptable task." Mountbatten shook his head and smiled bitterly. "As the last Governor of British India of the British Empire, my mood is very complicated."

Crown Prince Elizabeth suddenly remembered what Alan Wilson said just now, hoping to adjust his mentality. I sighed in my heart, it seems that the country I live in now is a country facing troubled times, aristocrat? Civil servants?

This made Alan Wilson suffocated. If it weren't for Windsor Castle, he would have talked to Mountbatten about getting rid of the money printing machine as soon as possible, and he wanted to talk about more than just British India.

From the scope of the residual value, the British India has not yet become independent, and the cabinet still respects Mountbatten very much, and quickly suggested to sell the Nelson-class battleship to Portugal, and take the loan that the Americans are about to give Portugal.

Now it's a sum of money, it's better than dismantling the battleship and selling scrap iron.

"Philip has been looking forward to his uncle's return." Crown Prince Elizabeth chuckled, "It's so delightful that you can come back to witness our wedding."

"This is my honor, and of course Philip's luck." Mountbatten sighed a little, this wedding was definitely not as easy as it was described in fairy tales.

From the very beginning, King George VI refused to allow his daughter Elizabeth to marry Philip. The reason is very simple. First, the daughter was too young, and secondly, Philip was not independent enough. The worst thing to say is that there were not many steel shovels in his pocket. At that time, the Greek royal family Being driven to and fro, Philip spent a turbulent childhood, saying that he was a prince, but in fact it was a broken house.

But these two are not the most important reasons. The most important thing is that all three of Philip's sisters are married to German princes and are inextricably linked with the National Socialist Party. The advice given by George VI's think tank All are not to marry, there is no benefit or even big trouble.

This wedding did not invite Philip's relatives, and also did not invite, there is a king who does not love the country and loves beauty, but is actually the abdicated king related to Germany, the uncle of the current Crown Prince Elizabeth, and the former King Edward VIII.

The crown prince was about to get married, and Mountbatten didn't bother too much. He asked about the schedule and left. After walking out of Windsor Castle, General Mountbatten said to Alan Wilson, "Why don't you say a word, this is not like you."

"Respected Governor, I still know what authority is." Alan Wilson took a deep breath and said, "The crown prince is widely loved in the empire, and this time the big wedding will definitely attract everyone's attention. How can I be qualified to speak, I can witness it already. Very lucky."

"Look at Ellen, how humble." Patricia said, and then looked at her husband, John Braborn, who felt that his husband had just talked a lot.

When the two got married, Crown Prince Elizabeth went to Ramsey Monastery to attend her wedding, and Prince Philip of Greece was in charge of the reception. After an extra year, the protagonists were replaced by the Crown Prince and Prince Philip, and the fate was quite wonderful.

The Mountbatten family entered their own cars and returned to the same destination, except that they became three couples in different cars.

"The crown prince is about to get married soon, I believe Prince Philip must be very happy now!" Pamela Mountbatten looked forward to that day soon, and seemed to be looking forward to the grand scene, "Unfortunately, when we get married, the bridesmaid Maybe that's Princess Margaret left."

"Oh, I'm very honored." Alan Wilson didn't forget to take care of his fiancee's emotions while driving.

However, whether Prince Philip is happy is a questionable issue, which depends on whether the current prince has accepted his fate.

Crown Prince Elizabeth is the British Empire that still has a great reputation at this point in time.

As for Prince Philip? Because of the political turmoil in Greece, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been living a life of dependence. Elizabeth's marriage to him is a standard marriage, which is absolutely right.

It was not Elizabeth who married Philip, but Philip who "married" into England and was about to start his own son-in-law career.

This kind of thing does not distinguish between East and West, and it is also a difficult thing to accept in the West. Do women have to change their names after marriage? If you don't change your name, you already have a deep background.

What Prince Philip encountered was not the question of whether the crown prince changed his name, but as long as Crown Prince Elizabeth arrived on the day when he was supposed to ascend the throne, he had to change his name, and the children of the two had to change their names and follow the royal family's surname.

It's no wonder that Prince Philip took care of his lover when he was still young, and as for being too old to move, that's another story.

"Honey, if we get married, you won't let me change my surname, will you?" Alan Wilson suddenly asked this question when he saw that he was about to arrive at General Mountbatten's house.

Whether Prince Philip can think about it has nothing to do with him, after all, it is someone else's business, but this matter involves himself. Not when standing and talking without back pain.

"No, I won't make it so difficult for you." Pamela Mountbatten thought for a moment, "Can I keep my surname?"

We Chinese women keep their surnames when they get married! Alan Wilson pretended to be generous and said, "Of course, I have to take care of your father's emotions and cannot erase the traces of your belonging to the Mountbatten family."

He sold a penny worth of face, but it also made Pamela Mountbatten very happy and felt that he had chosen the wrong person.

It must be admitted that the issue of preference for sons over women does exist. Alan Wilson saw a news that Wu Guangzheng, the richest man in Xiangjiang, made a will, with his son getting 500 billion and his daughter 800 million.

This can also be said to be traditional, but Wu Guangzheng is not the first time to encounter such a thing. His father-in-law is actually more famous than him. Wu Guang is the son-in-law of the charter king.

The charter king had no sons, only four daughters, and the inheritance was naturally distributed to the four daughters.

In fact, in their respective eras, the fame of the charter king was far greater than that of Wu Guangzheng. But people die like lights go out. Thirty years after he died, how many people can remember the name of the charter king?

Wu Guangzheng's fame may be remembered~lightnovelpub.net~ Because he has a son to inherit the family property, as long as his descendants continue to be surnamed Wu and live a superior life in the upper class, his name will be repeated over and over again. mentioned.

There is no way around it, so the more powerful and powerful the upper-class society seems to lack everything, in fact, there is no such idea of ​​equality between men and women.

The two who got out of the car, holding hands, seemed to have sublimated their relationship a little bit, and entered Mountbatten's house slowly. Alan Wilson, who was suffocating at Windsor Castle, began to look for opportunities to talk about Portugal's purchase of battleships.

Finally, seeing that the women had entered the kitchen, he approached Mountbatten and asked questions to find a chance to speak.

"You have something to do?" General Mountbatten gave Alan Wilson a sidelong glance. "You civil servants always talk like this, and you haven't gotten to the point."

"The crown prince's wedding must be congratulated by the envoys from all over the world. After all, this is a big event for the whole world." Alan Wilson's father-in-law said as if he was saving me, "The Portuguese may take the opportunity to find you and negotiate with the Governor. one thing."

"What did you promise the Portuguese again?" General Mountbatten looked suspicious, and his tone was full of distrust.
