Who becomes the new king or queen?

This is why there's a line of succession.  The old ruler might not have had children or brothers or sisters - but I guarantee if you go far enough back on his or her family tree there will be cousins somewhere.\n\nThis has actually happened in real life before.  When Queen Anne died childless, Great Britain had to go to Germany to find the nearest (Protestant) successor.  A member of Queen Anne's family had married in to that family years before.  The House of Stuart died with her and King George I became the the first member of the Royal House of Hanover.\n\nSometimes the actual relation of the old king or queen to their successor is miniscule.  When Henry VII became king, the only blood basis he could give for the claim was that his mother was the great-great granddaughter of King Edward III, a hundred years earlier.

Not nearly enough. Neither are there enough women. As a rough guess I would say 5% are black. Sadly our democracy is still mainly made up of white anglosaxon men. The queen is a woman, but royalty is anti-democratic. A black king would be good though.

I didn't know that.  I thought she would be older. Anyway, I hope she reigns as long as see wants, or how long it takes her grandson to become king.  I shudder to think what would happen if prince Charles becomes king.  God save the Queen.

No, I believe that if she did (which she won't) it would pass to Charles.  Then Charles would have to abdicate (which he won't, either) for William to become King.\n\n...And I'm from the U.S.

When Her Majesty enters the halls of Her Parliments, the Head of State arrives to address Her Government. \n\nWhen Her Majesty walks into a room the entire environment changes. Those who were once "anti-monarchy" are suddenly transformed to charmed admirers, and fall in love with HM.\n\nWhy? In Herself is the State, She is England. She represent history. She represents the present. She and Her heirs represent the future. It is awesome to find oneself in Her persence. \n\nYou may not agree with the need to have monarchy any longer. But once you meet The Queen, you may change your miind.\n\nLove live The Queen!

Political people will become kings. Sonia will become Goddess and her temples will be on each and every place of India.

The Queen is the Head of State.\nMonarchy: Head of State—ceremonial; no real involvement in politics.\nTechnically, the government acts in the Queen’s name. \n\nBelow are a couple of sites you can read to better explain...

james. i think he was the son of elizabeth's cousin mary. there was this thing about mary wanting to get ride of elizabeth so that her son would get the throne since he is the closet in the line. the funny thing is that though she tried and didn't succeed, james was still the king.

Andrew...the line of succession goes through all the queen's sons and their children (either sex) before her daughter...so even if Charles and his 2 boys were lost then Anne would have to wait for Andrew and his daughters (and any children they might have) and then Edward and his daughter and any other children she might have.\nSo basically, it only pays to be a princess royal if you're an only child!

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.
