UK: A royal chapel for Roman Catholics

The Telegraph: “One might have thought such provisions would have been quashed by the Act of Settlement of 1701, which forbade heirs to the Crown to marry Catholics. But in Royal Prayer (Continuum, £16.99), Mr Baldwin demonstrates that the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1661 is still in force and kicking.
The treaty was made for the marriage of Charles II and Catherine of Braganza (right), and stipulated that ‘Her Majesty and whole Family shall enjoy the free exercise of the Roman Catholic religion, and to that purpose shall have a Chapel, or some other place, set apart for the exercise thereof’.”
