If there was a terrible earth quake in England and the queen and her sons and royal family is killed?

Question

Who will then succeed the british crown?

Answer 1

After the Queen and her descendants, the next in line is Princess Margaret's son, Lord Linley, then his children if he has any, then his sister, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones and her descendants.  And if that disaster were even farther-reaching and also killed all of Princess Margaret's line, the next King of England would be (shades of 1483!) Richard, Duke of Gloucester.

Answer 2

who ever is next in line. the duke or earl or whatever.

Answer 3

The Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Answer 4

The order of succession runs into the hundreds.

Someone would be still alive.

Answer 5

I expect there would be some tacky reality show in which members of the public vote on which Z list celebrity would be Monarch.

Answer 6

At the moment, there are at least 1,468 people in line to the throne. It would be a remarkable coincidence if they were all wiped out. This system has been in place for a terribly long time and they've got people to cover it.
