  1. Not quite sure I understand your question fully, but, assuming you are relating to the British Royal House, Charles becomes king upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth 11. His eldest son will then become king upon the death of his father.


  2. In the UK, the succession goes first to the sons, then the daughters, of the current monarch.

    In other countries, the rule is different.

    In Japan, for example, there is no allowance for a female heir.

    There is a lot of variance in this area, with many of the 'rules' having existed for centuries.

    Cheers :-)

  3. Traditionally the oldest daughter and her husband would rule next.

  4. Well, as far as I am concerned, when Liza goes, you are just going to have another 'queen' on the throne anyway. 'Queen Charles'.

  5. huh?

  6. Shouldn't everyone be kind?

  7. Princess Elizabeth, oldest daughter of King George succeeded him to the throne upon his death.

    So if the reigning monarchy has only daughters, then the oldest daughter is heir apparent.

    Just out of curiousity, how did you think that Queen Elizabeth got to be Queen?!?!

  8. It sort of depends.  Different monarchies work differently.  In general, however, they can sort of do what they like.  A King or Queen can, most likely, declare who ever they want to be their heir.

    Remember the old adage, "Its good to be the King..."

  9. It will be the offspring of the king and queen. The older will become queen. If the parents die before she becomes of age a regent might act for her until she is old enough. Whoever she marries could become a king or more likely a prince consort to the queen. Children of brothers or sisters of the king are pretty far down the list of who will be the next ruler.

  10. If Princess Anne had been first born she wouldn't be the heir. England has a law where the first born son inherits

  11. If a monarch (King/Queen) only had daughters as heiresses to the throne, the eldest daughter will be first in line to inherit the crown. The order line of succession is followed by her legitimate royal offspring, her other royal sisters and their legitimate royal offspring, and other close royal relatives (aunts, uncles, cousins).

    The line of succession also depends on whether the royal princess who is first in line is named "Heiress Presumptive" or Heiress Apparent."

    Heiress Presumptive - provisionally scheduled to inherit a throne, peerage, or other hereditary honor, but whose position can be displaced by the birth of an heir apparent or of a new heir presumptive with a better claim to the throne

    Example: First born princess is first in line to the crown, however, if a male heir was born after her, he will be first in line and she (although being first-born) will be placed second in line and so forth if more sons were born. This policy does not include nephews (if a King/Queen had a sister who had a son, he will remain behind the King’s children).

    Heiress Apparent - an heiress who cannot be displaced from inheriting.

    Example: First born princess is first in line to the crown whether or not the next child who comes along is a male heir.

    The line of succession gives priority to the male-line of a monarch and descendants from the male-line of a monarch. With this in mind, royal children whether male or female of a ruling monarch is given priority before royal children of a princess (female-line of a ruling monarch).

  12. Simple - the eldest daughter (the new queen) to marry (a man, of  course - can't have two queens!) will be married to the new king!

  13. The same thing that happened when King George VI and Elizabeth,The Queen Consort had daughters: their eldest daughter became Queen Elizabeth II,the current monarch. And it is the Queen Regent who reigns,not her husband!The spouse of the reigning queen is Prince Consort and holds no "powers" of a monarch; as long as a reigning queen sits on the throne,no one else can wear a title higher than hers,so that means no king. The king's second daughter is considered the spare and next in line for succession until the Queen Regent has children of her own to stand in line.A good website for information on the British Royalty is http://www.royal.gov/uk

  14. In the U.K., the daughters of the current king would have precedence in the line of succession.  In certain other countries (Japan comes to mind), only males are allowed to inherit the throne so the sister's sons would have precedence.
