If Queen Elizabeth were to die, would Prince Charles become King and Camilla queen (God forbid!)?

Question

If Queen Elizabeth were to die, would Prince Charles become King and Camilla queen (God forbid!)?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

No.  If Queen Elizabeth were to die, Prince Charles would not be King because he has divorced. This is not allowed.  Therefore, Prince Charles' first born son would become King.  If for some reason he weren't able to fullfill the duties, then his younger brother would become King.  If Prince Charles and Princess Diana had not divorced, he would be King.

Answer 3

Yes.

To placate the Diana-loving masses, however, the announced plan is for Camilla to be known as "Princess Consort."

The fact of the matter is that she would become Queen, even if she doesn't use the title.  Centuries of precedent hold that this is so.  One of the reasons that Edward VIII had to abdicate was that there was no way for him to marry Wallis without her becoming Queen.

Answer 4

Unfortunatley yes that would be the sad truth. The cast of the muppets will be running our country... God save the queen (please)

Answer 5

Yes, this would happen.  Camilla was to be his Princess Consort but everyone believes that as soon as Charles parents are dead, he'll pass a law allowing divorced members of the Royal Family to become Kings or Queens.  At that point Camilla will be Queen Camilla.

Answer 6

If Her Majesty takes after her ancestress , Queen Victoria , it won't much matter who becomes the King's Consort , for , they would be so old ( not that they're particularly youthful now ! ) it wouldn't be for long anyway .

Answer 7

Yes.

However, its' unlikely Charles will ever become King and, therefore, the public will be placated by the fact that Camilla will never be their queen.

The Queen mother lived well past 100 - its likely the Queen will do the same. I doubt we'll see a 70+ year old Charles wanting to give up his freedoms after all these years.

I believe that the crown will pass directly to William because his father will pass on taking the crown.

Answer 8

I am afraid so

Answer 9

Who gives a P***k? Would you seriously kneel to Charles or anyone of the royal family for that matter??

If you say yes, i feel very very sorry for you.

Answer 10

NO thank god Camilla can NEVER become Queen!! Either prince Charles or prince William would become King!

Answer 11

Charles would automatically be crowned King, "she" would not be queen and would not be given the title.  I think Charles would pass the crown to William, he would be the best choice all round as long as he is ready to commit to the position, he will have to eventually, but hes still so young and its a big responsibility, he needs to have more of a life I think before taking on that role.

Answer 12

Charles would become King, as he is the heir, but Camilla would only be designated as his consort. Charles could elect not to take the crown, and pass it directly to William, but I'm inclined to think he would not do this.

Answer 13

As things stand now, yes. Camilla would be Queen, there's no real reason why she shouldn't be-- she's a UK native-born, and the legitimate wife.

Answer 14

From my understanding no. Prince Charles would become His Majesty, but Camilla would stay as a Dutchess. Because even though she is married to him she still does not have the titile Princess of Wales.

Answer 15

ugh....they both compliment each other.... because neither one of them is anything to look at.

Answer 16

The law of succession states that Charles will succeed to the throne, the fact that he's divorced and remarried makes no difference. It has been stated that Camilla will be known as HRH The Princess Consort not HM The Queen, although she is technically Princess of Wales at present but uses another title she will not technically be Queen as evidenced by the HRH rather than HM.

Answer 17

Yes. Charles is next in line for the throne as the eldest son and bearer of the title Prince of Wales, which is given only to the heir apparent. It has been decided that Camilla won't become queen - some ridiculous nod to all the Dianaphiles, I suppose. She may take the title of Princess Consort, like the Duke of Edinburgh is Prince Consort.

The divorce of Prince Charles and Diana meant that Diana could never become Queen but constitutional experts in 1995 did not see this as being any impediment to Prince Charles ascending to the throne on his mother's death or abdication.
