However, we are going to be stuck with Charles and that "lady" as Queen. England will not skip over anyone. Don't worry, William will be King someday. I know majority of Americans would rather England change their rules, but that won't happen. Hopefully the Queen will stay in place for awhile and perhaps Charles will become King around 72 years old.
