For a place on the throne, a whole family battle can break out.
Queen Elizabeth II has ruled Britain for 67 (!) Years. She is the longest-running monarch in the history of the country. The queen is already quite old, she is 93 years old. She has already removed some of her powers, has not traveled abroad for a long time, but so far she does not intend to transfer the crown to anyone, writes the channel Teleprogramma.pro in Yandex Zen.
How is the queue for the British throne formed?
Until recently, the order of inheritance of the crown was as follows: the male heirs had an advantage. But on October 28 of the 2011 of the year, amendments were made, and now the throne is inherited by the eldest child of the monarch, regardless of gender. At the same time, the ban on marriage with Catholics was canceled in this. No, it is impossible to accept the Catholic faith to the true adherents of the Church of England, but to marry Catholics is easy. And from the important: only legitimate children inherit the throne, illegitimate offspring are struck off the line for the throne.Who is next to the British throne?
So, based on the rules of inheritance, following Elizabeth II, her eldest son, Charles, will ascend the throne. However, the Prince of Wales is now no less than 70 years old! And he, by the way, is the oldest heir who ever claimed the throne.
And this is where the fun begins. There is always a lot of hype and rumors around the British throne. So, there is a version that Queen Elizabeth does not want to transfer the throne to her (let's call a spade a spade) elderly son, and can "jump" over his candidacy and give the throne to William. This version is also supported by the fact that she has been sitting on the throne for 67 years, and everything holds power, as if she feels that her son Charles does not belong there.

There is also speculation that if Elizabeth retires, and the throne is rightfully transferred to Charles, he will give it up and give it to his eldest son, that is, again, William. And if Prince William is in the place of the king, he will be almost an ideal candidate for the crown. He is young (37 years old), his subjects love him, he has a strong family, education and military rank, which is extremely important for a monarch.
But just to transfer the throne, having crossed Charles out of the line of right to him, is impossible. Theoretically, it is possible to change legislation that will allow the transfer of the throne not by inheritance, but by the will of the monarch, but the British Parliament has not even considered such laws.
Can Prince Harry Become King of Great Britain?
Prince Harry is currently one of the most talked about people in the British royal family. The views of not only the British, but also the Americans are riveted to his wife Meghan Markle. Their family is loved and hated around the world. Now Harry is the sixth in line for the British throne, ahead of him: father Prince Charles, brother Prince William and three nephews - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
However, there is a very mystical theory. Allegedly, 500 years ago, the famous predictor Nostradamus said that after a long reign of a woman, the one who is least expected, young and frivolous, will ascend to the throne by court decision. One can easily imagine that we are talking about Prince Harry, who settled down only a few years ago, having met the woman of his life - Meghan Markle. The prophecy says that the coronation will not be accepted by the court, but very warmly received by subjects who will adore their new monarch.

There are more than 50 people in line for the British throne. But of course, they have no serious chance of taking the throne. So these distant relatives do not even have to be considered as future monarchs.
To summarize, we can say that the queen values the throne and the country and in the near future is not going to free her place. Well, whoever becomes the new monarch in Great Britain after Elizabeth II will only show time, even though the law says that it will be Prince Charles.
And who do you think, who will transfer the throne to Elizabeth II?
