Tory Peter Bone Gay marriage law means 'there could be two Queens' on the throne

The MP has fired off a letter to Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone warning of possible upheaval in the monarchy.

And he wants to know if it is the Government's plan to change the Royal Marriages Act of 1772 to allow a same-sex union.

Mr Bone believes this would make it impossible for the monarch to continue as supreme governor of the Church of England.

And a gay monarch who conceived a child either by sperm donor or surrogate would raise wider questions, he warns.

The donor would have a right to a peerage and could gain regal rights.
