Would Andrew become king when the queen died?

[Kate!]

no Harry I think.

[Captain.Remy]

Hopefully Meghan takes over

[James]

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.

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

[Ammi]

…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

Cheers.

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

[bitontheslide]

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

[Denver]

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.

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

[bitontheslide]

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

[LeatherTrumpet]

Good to see Louis get the Europa spot

Does anyone remember this film?

King Ralph is a 1991 American comedy film written and directed by David S. Ward and starring John Goodman, Peter O'Toole, and John Hurt.[2] The film is about an American who becomes the unlikely King of the United Kingdom after an electrical accident wipes out the British Royal Family.

[UserSince2005]

Meghan's murder plans exposed?

[armand.kay]

tbh i think (hope) it would be curtains for the royal family if all that happened...
