After the death of the Queen in Balmoral on Thursday, the royal family has a new line of succession. Here is the new hierarchy, with more children than adults now making up the top eight positions.



1 Prince William, 40
The eldest son of King Charles and Diana, the Duke of Cambridge is now heir apparent and next in line to the throne.

2. Prince George, nine
Kate and William’s oldest son, George, takes William’s place as second in line to become the next British monarch.

3. Princess Charlotte, seven
After the death of her great-grandmother, seven-year-old Charlotte becomes the most senior female royal in terms of succession.

4. Prince Louis, four
The youngest member of the Cambridge family, Louis rose to prominence after acting his age at the Queen’s jubilee celebrations.

so William can be King?

I seem to remember that it was 2 or 5 years he said he’d wear the crown.

Some people think he may hand it over to William at some point but I can’t find that he said it.

Tabloids frequently printed that. I saw it posted here many times. It was never going to happen, and it didn’t.

Barring illness, I’m sure Charles takes the job as seriously as his mother.
