'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.
