LONDON -- A source from within the Royal Household has told this reporter that the Duchess of Cornwall is three months pregnant and tests have shown the expectant child is a boy. When the son of Charles, the Prince of Wales, and Camilla is born, he could be second in line to the throne, leaving Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, third in line.
According to my source, the news of Camilla’s pregnancy has left the Royal Family embittered and in disarray. Queen Elizabeth summoned Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, Prime Minister David Cameron, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Attorney General Dominic Grieve to a meeting at Buckingham Palace.
The Queen made sure that Prince Charles and the former Camilla Parker Bowles would not be present by ordering the Prince of Wales to represent her at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Manchester.
According to my source, first the Queen called on Grieve, the legal adviser to The Crown, to explain the legal ramifications of Camilla’s pregnancy. The Attorney General said that despite Prince William being the firstborn son of Prince Charles, a case could be made under the laws of succession, for Charles and Camilla’s son to inherit the throne.
My source tells me that all through the meeting, Prince William and Kate appeared to be distraught. William was heard to remark, “First that home wrecker deprived me of my mother and now she is depriving me of the throne.” Kate suggested that the Queen order Camilla to undergo an abortion. At that point the Most Reverend and Right Honourable Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, jumped up and shouted, “Wait just a minute young lady, the Church will never stand for that.” The Queen tried to calm him down by assuring the Archbishop that she would not do that.
The Queen showed flashes of anger throughout the meeting, especially when Prince Harry remarked, “Good old dad, he’s still got it.” The Duke of Edinburgh sat by stoically, except for a brief moment when he broke into a big grin over Harry’s remark.
The Queen asked Prime Minister Cameron if he thought he could get a law passed by Parliament that would specifically keep any child of Charles and Camilla from inheriting the throne. Cameron said he could try but he thought that Ed Miliband and his Labour Party followers would block any such attempt.
The meeting lasted about three hours and ended with everyone throwing up their hands in exasperation. The Queen closed the meeting by emphasizing the importance of keeping the press from finding out about Camilla’s pregnancy.

Hahaha. You got me. Well written. That's probably the way it would come down.
