If Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles were to die, would the throne go directly to William or Andrew?

I think the convention goes that it's passed to the Progeny, so Wills comes after Elizabeth and Charlie.  As for the Edward VIII question, there are a couple of ways that could've played out.  There's some guy in Australia who could've inherited the throne by now instead of Elizabeth.

As an American, I have nothing to say about it but then again, the average British subject has nothing to say about it either.  Prince Charles has done very little to regain the popularity he lost following his split with Princess Diana.  His ongoing relationship with Parker-Bowles made him look out of touch with reality, yet the age spread between himself and Diana may have been the biggest problem between the two. They probably could not identify with each others generation. Prince William seems to be the odds on favorite for taking over the throne.  One has to wonder if Charles really wants the job anymore.  His mother could step down and let him have some of the glory, yet she chooses not to relinquish her authority.  I doubt that his marriage to Camille has helped his relationship with mum. So, he may be taking the path of the old Duke of Windsor, its not as though he needs the money.  William would be a fine choice as the next King of England.

Elizabeth Windsor\nPhillip Mountbatten-Windsor\n\nCharles Phillip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor, \n\nusing Prince Phillips last name of Mountbatten with that of the Queen's, Windsor.  How we know is his Marriage certificate with Lady Diana Spencer, his wife.  The same last name is used for his brothers.  However, when he becomes King, his last name (Charles only) will be Charles Phillip Arthur George Windsor.  (No Mountbatten).

I personally doubt he'll ever be king.  I think the current Queen intends to stay there as long as she can! Personally good on her too, rather have her as Queen than Charles!

Queen Elizabeth II.  Her Majesty has been on the throne since February 1952 when her father, King George VI, passed away.  She has seen the coming and going of many world leaders in her 54 years on the throne.  She is extremely knowledgable about world affairs and has a legendary memory.  She is a valuable source of advice for many world leaders.

When the monarch dies or abdicates, the crown passes to the next in line.\nIf the outgoing monarch has one, the first in line is the eldest son (so Prince Charles is currently first in line), or the eldest son of the eldest son (Prince William is second in line).\nWhen the previous King died in 1952, he had no sons. First in line was his eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, so she became Queen Elizabeth II.\n\nBecause sons have priority over daughters, there have been more Kings as monarch than Queens.\nHowever, the wife of a King is also called a Queen, whereas the husband of a Queen is not called a King, but a Prince-Consort.\nHence Elizabeth II is Queen, and Phillip is Prince-Consort.

Princess Diana, up until her divorce, was Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales.  Had she remained married to Prince Charles she would've been queen when the present Queen dies, as Charles is next in line to the throne. On her divorce she retained her title of Princess of Wales, as she was the mother of the future King - William, 2nd in line to the throne after Charles.  Fergie was married to Charles' younger brother Andrew and was known as the Duchess of York. It is extremely unlikely she would ever have been queen unless something happened to wipe out half the royal family!

I doubt it, although it's not a bad idea.\nI think modern day royals are less into being royal nowadays, and it's just not practical to be so far removed from society and clueless as to how regular people live their lives. Queen Elizabeth's younger children, Andrew and Edward, have really strayed from the typical royal routine and are fairly "normal" people. I think this trend is likely to continue in the future, which is good!\nAnyhow, as to marrying outside the royal circle, I think because these younger royals are more involved in a normal everyday style of living (as far as a royal CAN be, that is) I think the more at ease they are with so-called commoners and have more in common with them, personality-wise. Fifty years ago, NO ONE in the royal family would have considered marrying someone like Sarah Ferguson or Sophie Rhys-Jones, who worked for a living and so forth.\n\n(As for the "inbreeding" comment, royals all over the world have been inbreeding for as long as the concept of royalty has existed.)\n\nI think if the Queen had had her way, none of her children would have been allowed to marry any of the people they did. Ok, well, MAYBE Diana. ...MAYBE.

Prince Charles was in the armed forces and is skilled in many martial arts, despite his friendly outward persona, he could kill people with his bare hands. I dont know much about prince (the singer) but I think Charles would waste him in under 3 seconds. I'd pay good money to watch that by the way.

Edward VIII.  Edward abdicated the throne because of his affair with Wallis Simpson, an American woman who was still married at the time, and Edward's position as Supreme Governor of the Church of England prohibited marriage after divorce.

Assuming you mean the Queen of England -- she has no political power whatsoever.  She does, however, have money and no doubt many political / affluent connections.\n\nShe has no real power, though.  She's just a figurehead.  The monarchy was abolished as a real political entity in the UK long ago.
