Ker Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I really dislike Camilla. She has zero class. Kate oozes class, as does William. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillFreddiesMum Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yes. His will only be a short reign and it will give William and Catherine more time with their young family before William becomes king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsLaurie Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It’s a hereditary monarchy. You don’t get to skip or switch, that’s just not how it works Charles will be completely fine in a wholly ceremonial role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic_marker Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 I do not want Liz to abdicate, they're a hot mess underneath her. Wholly agree. I can't imagine the Monarchy without her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_F Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Liz has a few more years in her yet and there is no way she will abdicate... So Charles will probably get 15-20 years max in the throne before Wills is in, he essentially a seat warmer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic_marker Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'll make myself more clear. I don't want Queen Elizabeth to abdicate.I just don't want Charles on the throne if heaven forbid, something happened to Lizzie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_F Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Well unless Charles pops off in the next couple of years before his mother, he is the future king!I do have a question though if Charles dies before Liz, does it go to Wills (as the next on line after Charles) or Anne (as the next child of Liz)?

Wills is next in line after Charles. If the Queens Uncle didn't abdicate and hand over the reigns to his brother, we wouldn't be having this conversation.Ok. I just looked it up and it's Statute Law that he has to unless Parliament changes it. Edited April 20, 2021 by magic_marker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddlepop Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Charles will be fine as King. He's trained for it for his entire life. I like Camilla. She seems sensible and down to earth. It's just a shame that she and Charles weren't allowed to marry because of the silly virgin/reputation requirement. William and Kate have small children they're busy raising. I'm sure they'd rather be hands on with them than being King and Queen. Their time will come. Harry needs to take a good hard look at what sort of woman he's married and how easily she lies about things that can be easily disproven.

JustBeige Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I always thought Charles had publicly or at least to a biographer that he would abdicate as he just doesnt want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintyBiscuit Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hopefully he will. It might be the kick up the arse this country needs to get serious about becoming a republic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seayork2002 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 He is next in line so I am fine with it, if he chooses to abdicate that is up to him but I don't see a need for him to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillFreddiesMum Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 JollyF - the order is the first born (son) of the first born (son). So - Charles - William - George - Charlotte - Louis - Harry. When Princess Anne was born she was 2nd in line after Charles - then the Queen had 4 children in total and Anne got pushed back behind Andrew and Edward. They had to change the rules / law before George was born so that if William and Catherine had Charlotte first - she would have been Queen and she wouldnt have been outranked by any younger brothers. The Scandi countries have royalty where the princess has been born first - and she will become Queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddlepop Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I do have a question though if Charles dies before Liz, does it go to Wills (as the next on line after Charles) or Anne (as the next child of Liz)? William, then George, Charlotte and Louis. Not sure if Andrew is still in the running but if he is then Andrew, his two daughters, then the baby that was recently born. After that Edward, Louise and James. Then it would be Anne. She's last of the siblings because she's female. The Queen has amended succession order rules since just before George was born. Now it's in birth order regardless of sex, not males first in birth order, then females in birth order.Edit: Damn, I forgot Harry. He'd be after William's children and before Andrew and Edward.

He won’t, he has trained his whole life for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious if it changed if Charles died before Liz but nope doesnt change a thing. Just means many would get their preferred king and a republic would be probably lose more ground.

MsLaurie Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 No way will Charles abdicate. He’s lived most of his life in preparation for kingship, and made many sacrifices and choices along the way (good and bad) to that end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsLaurie Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 [mention]StillFreddiesMum[/mention] - it says “MRS” Michael Tindal which is Zara. Ugh I hate that archaic formulation of married women’s names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
