When the Queen dies, will dissolution of the Parliament of the United Kingdom automatically happen, or is that no longer the law? 64.203.186.67 ( talk) 13:17, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
I have read some about the Imperial Chinese harem system, but have not been able to fully find an answer to exactly how gender segregated life was in the Imperial Chinese court (specifically, the qing dynasty period 1644 to 1912). Were women and men of the Imperial court allowed to meet? I realize they were not allowed to meet as freely as in European courts, but I have a vague impression that they were not quite as restricted as in the Ottoman Imperial Harem either. So; where men and women allowed to meet in some religious or secular ceremonies, celebrations, rituals or banquets at court, or were they really always separated from each other? I'm not referring to female servants and noblemen, nor to eunuchs and harem concubines, but of men and women of equal rank: noblemen and noblemwomen not married or related to each other. Thanks, -- Aciram ( talk) 16:23, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
