Hell of a run. RIP.
William's son (Prince George) would follow William as KingWilliam will become king most likely. Charles will step down at some point sooner than later. But if something happens to William, Uhoh!! Harry. That may delay him stepping down.

I was 15 months old when she became queen. I remember her old man either quite well or not at all. But mostly not at all.How many on this board were alive during the reign of another British monarch? Not me ... and I'll be 69 next month!
IIRC if William died while Charles is still king, then Harry would become next in line when Charles passes. George (William's son) only because heir apparent upon William ascending to the throne. But i could be wrong.William's son (Prince George) would follow William as King
I was riffing on the popular phrase as most often seen in movies and such - though it typically happens with the succession of kings. I wasn’t going for historically accurate as of today.Long live the king you mean. Lol
I wish they all got some brains and balls and abolished the Monarchy. What a joke to just agree to pamper a certain family with all the **** 99.9% of people can't have, and treat them as superior, even though they have no real responsibilities.
It's an insane concept.

Reminds me of a George Carlin quote. “Pride should be reserved for something you achieve on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth”.
Not just the Irish people - the House of Windsor was pretty rotten to most of its subjects. Some of my ancestors came from Cornwall in Southeast England. They were miners and when the tin and copper mines gave out, they had two choices: either stay in Cornwall and become smugglers or fishermen or go to America. Those who stayed behind never made it out of a poor existence. My great grandfather came here, became a coal miner and then a foreman, many of his kids went to college, some became military officers (would have never happened in England), and eventually engineers, physicians, lawyers, judges, and business executives. None of that would have happened in England.As someone with deep Irish roots, including paternal grandmother born in Ireland as a subject of the Queen in 1895, I find myself conflicted. While I believe Queen Elizabeth had a kind and gentle spirit, I hold the House of Windsor in high contempt given their treatment of the Irish people through the last centuries. She did sit on the sidelines during The Troubles, which is a bit troubling. Regardless I hope she rests in peace.
