Gordon Brown and Buckingham Palace have discussed plans to change the rules of succession to the throne, including giving royal women equal rights.
Downing Street said the scrapping of the ban on heirs to the throne marrying Roman Catholics was also discussed.
Mr Brown told the BBC that people living in the 21st Century expected discrimination to be removed.

There's a reason why Catholics are banned from becoming monarch ... they consistently dance to the tune of Rome & fail to put the interests of the United Kingdom first.

The monarchy is a playground for tyrants and is a modern day dictatorship. It should be abolished immediately, an institution based on undemocratic principles.
"Prince" Charles, who violates the constitution by publicly displaying political beliefs, should be denied the throne. It is obvious Parliament wishes to weaken the Crown in order to prevent "King" Charles III becoming another tyrant.

We have a great balance of cool historic attitude and a modern democracy - why change that?

How are we a democracy? Our Head of State is unelected and only one family is entitled to rule. It's not our government - it's Her Majesty's government.
Pure anti-democracy.

To be fair, even without an unelected Head of State, we're not that much of a democracy. I don't remember voting for Gordon Brown - do you?
