Prince Charles' human suit is wearing out.

If he dies before the Queen wouldn't that mean that her next oldest son, not her grandson, would become the new crown prince? So the next king could be Epstein pal prince Andrew? I've played a lot of CKII but IDK how it works with the modern british royalty.

Thank you for your time.

The line goes down first before across, it's Queen then Queen's first kid (Q.1) then Queen's first kid's first kid (Q.1.a) then Queen's first kid's first kid's first kid (Q.1.a.i), then the rest of that gen (Q.1.a.ii,iii) then the rest of the gen up (Q.1.b,c), THEN the kids of those people (Q.1.b.i etc), then the rest of the Queen's kids (Q.2,3) and their kids and kids' kids and so on

Anyway Andrew is currently 8th in line, we'd need a King Ralph type scenario for him to even come close to the throne

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

do you think he dips those fingers into chocolate sauce and licks them clean at night while proclaiming what a naughty lad he is with no one but the dog there to hear him or do you think he just lays in bed gripping the covers real tight and holding his eyes closed as hard as he can praying the urge to do it will eventually cease once he forces sleep to come for another night

When the queen dies, if who would have been her immediate heir is dead, the crown still passes to them, but because they're dead, it passes on to their heirs.

Even if the first kid dies before her? Because in Crusader Kings II usually the first kid dying bumps all the grandchildren of that line below the second son. Glad it doesn't work like that in the British commonwealth.

Glad to see SA didn't let me down and immediately produced a monarchy expert.

yeah like someone said earlier in the thread, even if Charles is dead the "crown" assumes he was king and kinda brushes his corpse head before passing directly to his eldest child (William)

Passing the title to your younger brother is more of an Arabic thing. The last six kings including the current one of Saudi Arabia all had the same father (Ibn Saud) who was born in 1875, different mothers of course.

There won't be. Inasmuch as there won't be a King of Norfolk or a King of Ottery St Mary either. The title is King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other realms and territories. There hasn't been a 'King of England' since William of Orange in 1702.
