If charles william and William's kids all died before the queen.
 
Would Andrew become king when the queen died?

Kate! 06-05-2021 12:02 PM

no Harry I think.

Captain.Remy 06-05-2021 12:02 PM

Hopefully Meghan takes over :love:

James 06-05-2021 12:03 PM

Harry would then be next in line.

If an heir is too young I think they have to appoint a Prince Regent or something like that, which would be another Royal, but I'd have to check.

Not if the queen was still alive, it would go to her 2nd son.

Isn't Anne older, so would be ahead? Although I'm not sure on the ages thing.

edit: just googled anne, an she's 15th in line, so I was wrong about her being ahead.

Anne is older, but it has nothing to do with that line. Charles entire tree under him would need to be wiped out else one of Charles direct descendants would be crowned.

Anne, Princess Royal is the Queen's second child and only daughter. When she was born she was third in line to the throne, but is now 15th. She was given the title Princess Royal in June 1987.

Its complicated and im sure if if all of Wills kids died with him it would go straight to the Queens next oldest son which is Andrew and not Harry because as soon as kids are born he loses his chance of becoming king as it doesn't get passed on to the Uncle but the Queens next oldest male child

…well there are discussions about tapering down the royal institution atm, it’s been reported so maybe we wouldn’t have a sovereign…

No, if for instance Charles died before the Queen, William would become King.

It used to be the oldest male heir took precedence, and that still applies to Anne. They changed it quite recently though so that male heirs aren't ahead.

Because she was born before the 2011 reform all her brothers would jump ahead of her but any daughter born after 2011 would automatically be ahead of her younger brother

Also if Will was king and died before his kids were of a mature age to reign then Andrew would become stand in king

bots 06-05-2021 12:20 PM

The war of the roses that led to Henry the 8ths father becoming king was probably the most complex example of how the family line can be affected if one or all are wiped out. That was a truly ****ed up time :laugh:

Denver 06-05-2021 12:22 PM

Also wirh Harry relinquishing all Royal roles i dont think there would ever be a position he could take over because he has exiled himself from the Royal family

According to this it would be Harry but he would have to move back to the UK.

Quote:

As of 2020, the first person under the age of 18 in the line of succession to the throne is William's son Prince George of Cambridge, who is third in line to the throne after his grandfather and father. If the prince were to succeed to the throne before his 18th birthday on 22 July 2031, his uncle, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (the Prince of Wales' younger son), would serve as regent (if domiciled in the United Kingdom, as required by the 1937 Act), as George's younger siblings Charlotte and Louis (currently fourth and fifth in line, respectively) would also be minors. In the event that Prince Harry would be unable to serve as regent (a possibility since his 2019 decision to take up residence in the United States), the next in line would be his uncle (Prince George's grand-uncle) Prince Andrew, Duke of York, followed by the Duke of York's elder daughter Princess Beatrice.

False, that would be Harry

bots 06-05-2021 12:39 PM

There is no way Andrew or Harry would get the role of regent, both have stepped away from royal duties so it would be Beatrice, which i would be quite happy with

Crimson Dynamo 06-05-2021 12:42 PM

Good to see Louis get the Europa spot
