Who Is The Next In Line To The Throne After Prince William.

[LaMandolina]

What would happen "IF" the Duchess of Cambridge lost her baby (that she is expecting) in child birth and the doctors treating her said that she cannot have anymore children, who would be next in line to the throne.

Harry?

Prince Harry would take the throne after William, followed by Harry's Children.

After Wills it would be Harry. I am a long way down the list unfortunately.

harry

[friedgreentomato]

After Harry I believe it is Andrew

[pixie373]

Yes, Harry. Assuming William has no further children either

[baza]

by the time it gets to my turn I will be long gone, so I don't really care.

The information in the link provided by Mamyalynne is slightly out of date.

The Succession to the Crown Act 2013 means that male precedence in the order of succession is no more. Also as part of the same Act members of the royal family who marry a Catholic will no longer lose their place in line to the throne (although there remains a ban on Catholics actually succeeding to the throne).

NJ - I heard them say on the radio that the Act of Succession hasn't actually gone through yet, were they wrong?

[ToraToraTora]

the female sucession rule change is not retrospective though judge.

[ubasses]

Australia and other Commonwealth Countries are preventing the Act of Succession being passed at the moment.

dont even think of it. Am peeved the queen has put pressure on Kate to have babe before she goes on holiday; inconsiderate or wot.

I hope Kate isnt ceasored for her 1st born.

[Mamyalynne]

NJ I was unaware that any new rules had been put in place, damn those outdated links.

[atalanta]

Perish the thought, but in such circumstances William might in the course of time be widowed. He might marry again. If women come in for the Crown, after Harry it should be Anne

[ToraToraTora]

I had no idea you move in royal circles tamborine. Just how has the Queen put pressure on kate?

[LazyGun]

So is wikis current line of succession wrong then? Thought I was going to be OK, but maybe not...

[Old_Geezer]

Please, let it be no one. Then we could dispense with all the anachronistic nonsense.

[cassa333]

Unless he remarried and had more children :)

[New Judge]

Yes, Tora is quite right and the new law only applies from now on (meaning the Duchess of Cambridge's first child will not be elbowed out of the order if it is a girl, but also that the Princess Royal does not gain promotion.

The Act received Royal Assent in April but has not yet come into force as some Commonwealth countries have still to formally give their agreement (although they all agreed to it in principle last year).
