James is the presently anointed son. At various times Lachlan and Elisabeth have reared their heads above the parapets. There are some other kids, but they have kept private: ergo they have never got involved in this debate, and are apart. Actually, these days, Rupert has pretty much retired to private life: and to the best of my knowledge he never personally killed anyone, or ordered someone dead, so....let the old bastard be. But this still won't stop me from providing a bit more context and opinion.
In my opinion, Rupe really was the Henry VIIIth of media Barons. I'm slightly surprised he didn't include the traditional collection of a British title on the way*; but then again, he did have a bust of Karl Marx in his university rooms at Worcester College, Oxford. (This is common knowledge at Worcester, apparently.)
