Succession to the British throne is determined by descent, gender (for people born before October 2011), legitimacy, and religion. Under common law, the crown is inherited by an individual's children and by a childless individual's nearest collateral line. The Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701, both of them as amended in March 2015, restrict the succession to the legitimate Protestant descendants of Sophia of Hanover that are in "communion with theChurch of England"[1] (while marrying toRoman Catholics no longer disqualifies). Protestant descendants of those excluded for being Catholics are eligible to succeed.[2]

Queen Elizabeth II is the present sovereign and her heir apparent is her eldest son,Charles, Prince of Wales. Next in line after him is Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Wales's elder son. Third in line isPrince George of Cambridge, the son of the Duke of Cambridge, followed by his sister,Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. Fifth in line is Prince Harry (formally Prince Henry of Wales), the younger son of the Prince of Wales. Sixth in line is Prince Andrew, Duke of York, the Queen's second-eldest son.

The first four individuals in the line of succession who are twenty-one years or older, and the sovereign's consort, may be appointed Counsellors of State. Counsellors of State perform some of the sovereign's duties in the United Kingdom while he or she is out of the country or temporarily incapacitated. Otherwise, individuals in the line of succession need not have specific legal or official roles.

The United Kingdom is one of the 16Commonwealth realms. Each of those countries has the same person as monarch and the same order of succession. In 2011, the prime ministers of the realms agreed unanimously to adopt a common approach to amending the rules on the succession to their respective Crowns so that absolute primogeniture would apply for persons born after the date of the agreement, instead ofmale-preference primogeniture, and the ban on marriages to Roman Catholics would be lifted, but the monarch would still need to be in communion with the Church of England. After the necessary legislation had been enacted in accordance with each realm's constitution, the changes took effect on 26 March 2015.

Prince Charles but I suspect he will pass it to his son, the third in line Prince William! And if anything happens to Prince William, his 3yr old son, hopefully grown then, will succeed him, he is the fourth in line! Had William not had a son, Prince Harry would had been the Fourth in line. Now he is the fifth in line!

So what is the question and what is the answer? Op ayam not understanding

Baba, Prince Charles isn't the heir apparent o......na his son, Prince William. He lost the crown some years ago...read about Charles vs Diana vs Camilla. After Prince William, the next in line is his small boy and after him is his uncle (his father's younger brother), Prince harry. The uncle moved from 2nd to 3rd when the boy was born....

Prince Charles is presently heir (next in line) to the British throne. He will not become king until his mother, Queen Elizabeth, abdicates (gives up the throne), retires or dies. When either of these happen,Prince Charles may abdicate and pass the throne to his eldest sonPrince William.

I'm sorry bro..this is not an argument. Just do a little google and find out. A full documentary and report was done by CNN when Prince Willaims first son was about to be born. I know you think youre right cos he's the old woman's son but hell no that changed some years ago when he decided to marry Camilla; an old time lover. Seriously friend, I am not second guessing. FACTS

Very shocking you don't this or are just trying to argue with me for argument sake? Even my 7 yrs old knows this...this is the first thing they in civil studies in global affairs! My goodness! The rest of the things you said was basically regurgitating what I said!
