Heirs to the throne?

Question

okay i wanted to talk about a future king producing a child.for example let's say that prince william married and the woman he was married to was sterile?meaning for some reason she couldn't produce children?what would happen is my question.i mean i know the general facts.but i basically want your opinions on how you think that the royal family will react.because not everyone wants kids you know?

Answer 1

Should this happen,Prince Harry would become king.

Answer 2

If Prince William died without an heir, Prince Harry would become king

Answer 3

Harry would become King.  I think his family would be okay with it.  I mean it's not like he's the last Windsor or anything.

Answer 4

If this were to happen, the throne would go to the next in line: William's brother, Harry, and his offspring.

Answer 5

Here is the line of sucession. Sorry I could only give you up to 100. Should William marry and his wife be steril then it would simply pass to the next person. The reaction would be sad, but this is definatly not like tudor times where the lack of a male heir was a killing crime...

Answer 6

If Prince William of Wales was King and he died without issue, the crown will go to his brother Prince Harry of Wales and his children. If Prince Harry of Wales became King and he also did not have any children either, than the crown will be passed onto his uncle, Prince Andrew, Duke of York and his two daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. There are over 1000 close and distant relatives who are in the line of succession, so you don't have to be worried about Great Britain running out of people to succeed its crown jewel.

The current line of succession includes:

1. HRH The Prince of Wales (The Prince Charles; b. 1948), son of Queen Elizabeth II

2. HRH Prince William of Wales (b. 1982), son of The Prince of Wales

3. HRH Prince Henry of Wales (b. 1984), son of The Prince of Wales

4. HRH The Duke of York (The Prince Andrew; b. 1960), son of Queen Elizabeth II

5. HRH Princess Beatrice of York (b. 1988), daughter of The Duke of York

6. HRH Princess Eugenie of York (b. 1990), daughter of The Duke of York

7. HRH The Earl of Wessex (The Prince Edward; b. 1964), son of Queen Elizabeth II

8. James Windsor, Viscount Severn, (legally HRH Prince James of Wessex; b. 2007), son of The Earl of Wessex

9. Lady Louise Windsor (legally HRH Princess Louise of Wessex; b. 2003), daughter of The Earl of Wessex

10. HRH The Princess Royal (The Princess Anne; b. 1950), daughter of Queen Elizabeth II

11. Peter Phillips (b. 1977), son of The Princess Royal

12. Zara Phillips (b. 1981), daughter of The Princess Royal

Answer 7

If William is married to a woman and they have no children the next person in the line of succession is Prince Harry and then his children.

The Royal family would probably not be too bothered one way or the other because really it doesn't make a difference to anything.

Answer 8

If Prince William dies without having any children, his brother Harry inherits the throne if he's still alive. If he's dead, then his children inherit. If neither of them has any children, then Prince Andrew inherits if he's still alive, otherwise his children, then Prince Edward, then his children, then Princess Anne, then her children, then...
