Charles or William? The line of succession after the death of Queen Elizabeth
The health conditions of Queen Elizabeth worsen, the Crown announced it first and then the English press, announcing the arrival in Balmoral of the spouses Harry and Meghan. After more than 73 years of reign, for the first time, the problem of succession arises.
The London Bridge plan was activated this afternoon. It is the operation put in place by the English Crown to organize the state funeral and establish the line of succession to the British throne, should the sovereign die. "London Bridge is down" is the code phrase used by the 1960s at Buckingham Palace to reach the British Prime Minister, recently become Liz Truss. Queen Elizabeth II , with over 73 years of reign , had been in poor health for some time. But this afternoon the situation worsened, this is the official communication arrived from Balmoral Castle in Scotland where the sovereign had spent the summer holidays. The whole world is wondering: who takes the throne after Queen Elizabeth II?
THE BRITISH THRONE SUCCESSION LINE
Charles , Prince of Wales since 1969 and at almost 73 years of age, is the heir to the English crown, making him the oldest king in history ever to ascend the throne. The second in the line of succession is Prince William , granddaughter of the queen and married for 11 years to Kate Middleton , following the children of the Dukes of Cambrigde, Geroge , Louise and William . If Charles, due to his advanced age and decades of waiting for the throne, has been nicknamed "the failed king" , polls say that the people would prefer William alongside his wife Kate as the future king. But with the Act of Settlement of 1701, the Succession to the Crown Act of 2013 and the Common Law, all succession orders, is there no question? What about the Duke of Sussex Harry ? Even after the mexit he would be in sixth position.
