rebecca zhang The Queen does not have the authority to do that. The line of succession is set out in law. There are only two ways that William could ascend to the throne directly upon the death of the Queen. 1. If Charles pre-deceases his mother. Or... 2. If Charles were to convert to Catholicism thus excluding himself from the line of succession by the terms of the Act of Settlement of 1701.

She probably could have gone on another year or several if her last year was not so terrible and stressful. The loss of her husband, the downfall of Andrew, the Harry and Meghan "thing," Charles' questionable charity "fundraising" and alleged selling of knightly orders and British passports, the COVID outbreak, and the former Prime Minister's fall and resignation. That would be terrible for anyone, but a frail 96 year old woman is going to take a much harder toll.

[@Aidankiwi]

Don't read too much into it there quite a few errors in it....poorly researched and scripted.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

You've got a couple of things wrong. Once crowned, which includes an anointing, the monarch of the U.K. cannot abdicate. The queen's uncle could only since he had not yet been crowned when he did. Once crowned, the monarch is monarch for life. They cannot abdicate. They in theory might be able to leave the U.K., stop royal duties, refuse to open parliament, and go live out her life in a convent in Siberia but none of that would mean she was no longer queen. It merely would mean she has stopped doing what she currently considers her duty. So why is this? British monarchs, unlike those of other nations, are anointed as well as crowned. Anointing is a special religious ceremony that for all intents and purposes makes them as though they are the parent of the nation. She could no more un anoint herself than a mother can change her own DNA so as not to be her child's mother. A monarch only give up the throne, abdicate, if they have not yet been anointed. Theoretically a monarch can refuse to be anointed and choose to only be crowned and if this happens then that would open the door for their eventual retirement. If Charles continues tradition and chooses to be anointed as well as crowned, he then will be obligated to serve for life as well. It would be presumptuous to say the queen will likely live as old as her mother due to her genetics. It discounts the short longevity of her father and his genetics as a factor. She has already outlived her probable longevity. Statistically, she will probably live another 3-5 years, maybe 7 due to having the finest medical care in the world. The queen can appoint a future regent to take over her public duties and many other duties but she cannot appoint her successor. The successor is chosen by strict following of British law which is overseen by parliament. The royal family informs parliament of any birth of a new member of the royal family who is eligible for the line of succession and parliament, after a largely symbolic investigation which usually lasts maybe 5 minutes, recognizes the person and their position in the line. Prince Charles position was assured at birth. The only way to remove him from the line is if he does something to disqualify himself such as convert to Muslim or renounce his British citizenship. Then the crown falls to the next person in line who has also long ago been established as the Duke of Cambridge. As much as Charles obviously loves Camilla, I think it is a fair bet that Charles would like her to be crowned queen. But he might find it difficult as Camilla is one of the least popular royals. I wold not bet money that she would be crowned. I do think she will be elevated to princess consort and be addressed as Princess Camilla. I would say that regardless of when the queen dies, Charles would choose to be crowned in the warmer summer months, probably June. If the queen is gone less than a year as of the end of the summer, he probably will delay it until the following June. I would predict that William's investiture as Prince of Wales would take place the following summer. This will stretch the good publicity out over a couple of years. I would predict that like his uncle Edward, he will choose to take a lesser title such as an earldom and simply wait for his uncle to die and then take Duke of York when that time comes. Regarding the royal cipher, that would only be the case if he chooses the regnal name Charles III. He can choose any of his middle names such as has been the case for some of his male ancestors. I predict he will choose George VII to honor his grandfather. Why? The last King Charles (II) had an unfortunate monarchy and the royals are a superstitious lot so I think they will not choose Charles. The remaining middle names are Phillip and Arthur. There has never been a King Phillip and the royals are very traditional and will stick to a name previously used. They will always choose a name ending in a Roman numeral. So no Phillip. They also won't choose King Arthur due to how pretentious that will look. They are too reserved for that. So George VII is the most logical choice.

[@Taopuppy]

It will only be "CIIIR" if the Prince of Wales uses 'Charles' as his regnal name. Odds are, in my opinion, he'll take 'George' and be George VII.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I completely agree and have been making that prediction for years. The royal family is traditional and superstitious and reserved. Charles II had an unfortunate reign so it might be considered unlucky to use. When Charles was born it is likely that then Princess Elizabeth was not considering the historical ramifications of the use of particular names and if I recall, Charles was used to honor a family friend/close relative but I don't recall which one. Arthur won't be used since it would be considered pretentious. Philip won't be used since there is no president and I doubt you will ever see a male monarch without Roman numerals at the end ever again. That leaves George so I agree. George VII is the only logical choice. That said, a monarch can choose any name they want for a regnal name and are not limited to names they already possesses. He could choose to be named King Edgar if he wanted to though I doubt it. I he does choose a different regnal name than what he already has I would predict Louis to honor his uncle Lord Mountbatten. But that is a long shot at best. So George VII it is.

[@pipey61]

Actually Philip was used during the reign of Mary Tudor, when she was married to Philip II of Spain. And Charles could do so to honour his father. It's not completely out of the running.

[@miahlee211]

Here's what gets me: I hear so much about, "No Charles and Camilla...." Then, people turn around and call for a modernized monarchy...Which do you want? Do you NOT want the heir to take his place because he remarried, and was allowed to do so by law? OR do you want Him to be disqualified using an archaic and outdated law about divorce? Like it or not, It will be, Charles as King and Camilla, his Queen.

[@joannar743]

Jeremiah Logsdon I don’t think it’s his divorce that makes him or camilla unpopular, it’s the fact that they had an affair and because Diana was so loved and cherished by the people. Camilla is seen as the one who destroyed their marriage, both hurting the UK’s sweetheart (Diana) and hurting the reputation of the monarchy and the heir to the throne. The institution as whole is all about image, respect and being correct and so having a prince who cheats on his wife and then chooses to leave her for a mistress doesn’t exactly give off the right vibe! As a whole however, I don’t think think the nation would be in too much turmoil if he was to become King, the problem lies with Camilla, she needs to be respectful of the nation and remain Princess consort instead of having her crowned as queen, simply because she will never be accepted as queen. Besides, the boots in which she has to fill are huge and she is starting out with the entire country against her

[@donnajellerson5886]

There is one thing all must expect to happen when William becomes King. He will restore H.R.H. to his mother, Diana. Catherine will be Princess of Wales until she becomes Queen Catherine. So, it may be Her Royal Highness, Princess Diana of Wales once again. As a boy, William promised he'd return the title to her when he became King. I, for one, have no doubt he will.

[@ProfessorSakharov]

Charles has already stated (several years ago) that he would not use the name 'Charles' as king due to 50% of the kings with that name having been decapitated by the people. His choice at that time was to be 'George VII'. I suppose we'll have to wait and see. .

Elizabeth won't do it. She, like her mom, believed E8's abdiccation destroyed her father emotionally, physically, and pyschologically. It may be the only reason she's hanging on knowing Charles is very sensitive.

I am an American and I watched 1-4 over and over again because I wanted to clearly understand how British royalty works. I still don't understand it but I deeply respect it and the royal family. I clearly have more studying I have to do.

[@craigrm74]

It is a not a given that the Prince of Wales will take the regnal name Charles III, given the relative unpopularity of Charles I and the Civil War. He may be much more likely to take the popular Windsor name George, and would then be George VII (meaning Prince George of Cambridge would be eventually George VIII)

[@nunyabiznez6381]

Not only is it not a given but it is unlikely that he would. The most likely name from among those he possesses is George as you suggest. The last king Charles had an unfortunate reign and the royals are superstitious. He won't choose Phillip though he will be tempted. He won't because there has never been a king Phillip. He is too traditional to do that. He won't use Arthur because that would be too pretentious. Imagine how the press would react if he chose to be crowned King Arthur. So that leaves George which he will almost certainly use to honor his grandfather who died when he was around 4 years old. William will most likely use his first name, not to be more modern but because it's the most logical. He might choose Philip to honor his grandfather and being more modern than his father he is unlikely to let tradition get in the way. He won't choose Arthur for the same reason his father won't. That leaves William and Louis. He may be tempted to choose Louis to honor his father's late uncle but won't because it will sound too French to the English ear. That leaves William. As for little prince George, His full name is George Alexander Louis. Though there has never been a King Alexander of England there has been more than one King Alexander of Scotland and depending on the political wind when he takes the throne, he may find it useful to choose a name previously used in Scotland. Otherwise, that leaves George and Louis. Again Louis is a French sounding name so again depending on the political wind he may choose it or not though since by the time he takes the throne, Louis Mountbatten will be an obscure memory from history. Most likely he will go with George again becoming George VIII. I would go so bold as to say that one day when he has a son, he will name him Charles William Arthur. If he has a daughter he will most likely choose Elizabeth Diana Anne. Note he will most likely follow the precedent set by his father of only giving his children two middle names instead of three like previous generations.

Charles retains his title of Prince of Wales until he dies, and it will never pass to William. William, as King, could create his son Prince George as Prince of Wales as he would be the heir apparent.

[@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem]

if charles rises to the throne, then william would become prince of wales as is tradition. the heir apparent, as long as they are male, is always the prince of wales.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

No actually he does not. It is one of the titles that a monarch can pass on to their son prior to dying.

[@baraxor]

The title Prince of Wales is by law bestowed AS A GIFT to the Heir Apparent; it is not automatic. The title of Duke of Cornwall is automatic to the eldest surviving son of the Sovereign.

[@donnajellerson5886]

Another American here. I have been fascinated by the British Royal Family since I was a small child. I am very confused as to the expected succession of Prince Charles when the Queen passes away. His great uncle, Edward could not be king if he married the divorced Wallis. Therefore he abdicated. They even left the country. Charles has married the divorced Camilla. How can he still become King? Not only was she divorced, but she was the adulteress who came between the Prince and Princess of Wales! I sincerely am confused as I see no reference anywhere to the change of laws regarding this.

[@tomdrowry]

It's because Britain is no longer as religious, the British monarch is also head of the Church of England, they would not support a divorced woman as Queen back then but now they don't care.

[@thetrozzoshow]

I also believe that another issue was that Wallis wasn't Anglican, but Camilla is.

[@annettebell1930]

No no not Camilla on the throne. No never please no Queen Camilla.

[@jamespeyrouse-bremer7750]

Annette Bell she would be princess consort not queen

[@nunyabiznez6381]

A monarch's consort is not in the line of succession and therefore cannot ever be enthroned. She could however become queen consort though the palace once announced that she would only be a princess consort when the prince of Wales ascends the throne.

[@robyortichella8864]

James Peyrouse-Bremer neither that. to washing up 😡

death is something that no human will never avoid, however long you live ....whether rich or power

[@lazybelphegore6748]

The more time that passes since Charles and Diana's divorce and Diana's death, the less animosity I have for Charles and Camilla. The divorce and death were tragic. Charles and Camilla seem to carry themselves with humility and dignity. They have done a lot to promote very worthwhile causes. Many Americans admire the current queen and see no reason now to change the line of succession. The British royal family is a constant in a world of uncertainty. After the results of the recent election, I almost wish we were still subjects of the Queen.

[@Jackson-mb6zn]

No American wants to be a subject to anyone, but Donald Trump is a stain on this country. God willing he won't be in office long.

[@barker940]

Actually, their form of government is better. When the Prime Minister no longer has the confidence of their party and the government. They throw EVERYBODY OUT and have new elections. We have to wait at least FOUR years!

+Tobi Uchihi where on earth did you find the word 'coronated' - sounds like a method of bottling. The word you needed is: coronation.

[@LordDim1]

+Gordon Smith coronated is correct. Although, I personally prefer using the word crowned, which is also correct.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

A regent would be appointed. If they precede the queen in death then most likely the queen would immediately appoint a regent to take over. The likely choices would include but not be limited to the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex, Prince Harry and possibly the Duchess of Cambridge. My money would be on a committee of regents making up two or more of the above. That is not unprecedented.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

Most likely from an English Language dictionary since that is where I just found it and it is defined as the past tense of coronate which is the verb for crowning a monarch. I.E.: Crowned = Coronated. I'm a genealogist and I had never heard this one so I had to look it up but it is in fact correct albeit perhaps a little obscure and nearly obsolete.

Talk of whether Camilla will be queen consort or will be crowned with Charles, much less the idea that Charles will abdicate or be passed over, is utter nonsense. Any changes like that would make the rules of monarchy into a popularity contest and destroy to concept utterly. Elizabeth II and her parents have not worked so hard the last 80 years to see that happen.

0:55 - This is definitely true historically in Britain, but given the recent normalization of Monarchs retiring across the world (Beatrix in the Netherlands, Juan Carlos I in Spain, Akihito in Japan), while definitely not true for Elizabeth II, I wouldn't be surprised if in future it became normalized in the UK for monarchs to retire at old age.
