FILMS – “THE FAVORITE”
BAFTA
Screenwriter Award, DEBORAH DAVIS
Dear Deborah Davis
Interested
to know, when you created screenplay for "The Favorite"
featuring QUEEN ANNE; did you include the most important feature of her
reign. Her refusal to grant the ROYAL ASSENT to a Bill passed by parliament.
For
your information: She was the only Reigning Monarch that has done her DUTY and
honoured the "Original Contract"; and, who has done this.
That
was in March 1708; but, the very interesting thing is that ever since that
date; there has not been one Reigning Monarch, sitting upon the English throne
that has done that. Every Reigning Monarch since that date, including the
present Queen, they have failed to comply with that DUTY; in the way that Queen
Anne did.
It
will be a terrible pity and a grave omission, if this aspect of her life, was
not featured in the film.
Contact
me if you want further information.
For
your further information: The "Original Contract" is an
un-written contract; but it is wholly entrenched in English 'LAW'. It is a
contract "Betwixt King and People" solely designed for
the protection of the people. It derives from this concept as recorded in, ‘Olde English Law’
"Allegiance
is given to the Liege Lord for the protection of the Liege Lord".
When the Monarchy was
first created this concept formed the basis of the, “Original Contract”.
KING
JAMES the Second was removed from the throne by the CONVENTION (parliament) of
1688. He was charged with,
"Failing to protect the People and their Religion, Breaking the 'Original Contract Betwixt
King and People,".
There then followed a huge debate of both LORDS and COMMONS held in the
"Painted Chamber" of the House of Commons, where the words,
"ABDICATED" and “THE THRONE IS NOW VACANT" was
debated for several days.
During
this debate, HENRY POWLE, ‘The Speaker’ of that debate referring to the “Original Contract” and the removal of KING JAMES II from the throne, said this,
“It
is on those upon the throne of England that the people look to for their
protection, and to whom for that Cause they owe the Allegiance of Subjects, but
there being none now to whom the people can look to for that Regal protection,
and for which Cause they owe the Allegiance of Subjects, the Commons conceive
the throne is Vacant.”
At the conclusion of this debate the
CONVENTION resolved that thereby; KING JAMES was 'guilty' as charged and,
that he had therefore, 'Abdicated', the throne.
The
CONVENTION ruled that the throne was Vacant.
PRINCE WILLIAM OF ORANGE
became the next King.
The,
Earl
of Clarendon also made an important speech in that debate; in speaking
of the ‘lineal descent’ in respect to all succeeding ‘Reigning
Monarchs’ that would sit upon that throne; he determined and declared this,
"The
Contract is as binding upon the Successor as well as it was on the Deposed if
the Successor breaks the Contract they too can be Deposed".
ELIZABETH THE SECOND has not once honoured
the 'Original Contract' throughout all the time she has occupied that throne. She has
not only "Broken the Original Contract";
She has also broken her "Coronation
Oath".
At her coronation she swore to "Govern
the People".
This required her, by this 'Oath', to
act as "Head of Government and
Parliament" and, to monitor parliament to ensure that the 'Bills'
passed by Parliament are not corrupt.
Her DUTY thereby; is to grant the "ROYAL
ASSENT" to the 'Bills' that are not corrupt and that are in the interests of
the country and its people. Yet to, REFUSE TO GRANT IT, if they are not.
Every 'Reigning Monarch' since March 1708 has
failed to honour that Contract.
Queen Anne, is much to be admired.
She was, UNIQUE.
Regards,
Gordon J Sheppard
