    Unfortunately I dont think William is much of a kilt wearer LOL
    Well, that's your opinion. I for one, do not agree with it at all. I have met Prince Charles twice and unlike yourself, he is not concerned with the cult of celebrity.

    There is a lot more to the job than having a pretty wife and mother, you know.

    Re: royal succession

    Just to add to what Chas has said:

    For William to "take over", Charles would have to abdicate first if he is still alive when Her Majesty passes. It would then require a parliamentary bill to be passed to give effect to this desire to which he would have to give his Royal Assent.

    The consent of every country where he would be Head of State would also be required.

    There is no precedent for "jumping" the line here.

    Re: royal succession

    Before Jock eats his toast and others follow suit, it needs to be said that while the original legislation was directed against the possibility that a monarch might have attachments to the Roman church (and hence to foreign powers) it also debarred - in England - nonconformists. The monarch, as Supreme Governor of the Church of England, was and is required to be in communion with the C of E. The King or Queen could not and cannot be a Baptist, Presbyterian (in England not Scotland), Methodist, or hold allegiance to other denominations or other religions or none at all.

    I have never met any of them, but I totally agree with what you say here Chas.

    Yes is the short answer, but it is unlikely to happen.

    Re: royal succession

    So if Charlie was to pop his clogs before Her Maj does that mean Princess Anne steps into the breach? Of course that would mean Wills & Harry would be out the window then and Anne's sprogs would be next in line. Won't happen of course.

    No, William would still succeed, in due course, if Charles died before The Queen.
