The True Monarch of Britain Receives Invitation to King Charles' Coronation.

Simon Abney-Hastings, the 15th Earl of Loudoun, who is the only person other than those in the line of succession who could actually have a claim on the throne, has been invited to King Charles III's coronation. Abney-Hastings is a direct ancestor of George, Duke of Clarence, whose line of succession was overlooked in favor of King Edward IV, who was illegitimate according to British medieval historian Michael Jones. Abney-Hastings inherited the ancient Scottish title of Earl of Loudoun from his father, who emigrated from the UK to Australia in 1960.

'Alternative monarch' invited to coronation ceremony in UK

Simon Abney-Hastings, the 15th Earl of Loudoun, who could have a claim on the British throne, has been invited to King Charles III's coronation. British medieval historian Michael Jones discovered a document in Rouen cathedral in France two decades ago, which he says is proof that King Edward IV was illegitimate. As a result, Jones has argued, Edward was not the rightful heir to the throne, and the line of succession should instead have gone through Edward's younger brother George, Duke of Clarence, who is a direct ancestor of Abney-Hastings.
