Prince William has not been chosen to be king. When Queen Elizabeth II dies the next in line to the throne is her eldest son, Prince Charles. Should Prince Charles die when he is king the next in line for the throne would be his eldest son, Prince William. The rules which govern succession to the throne have been around for a long time, they are not personal choices and the Duchess of Cornwall was well aware of them before she even married Prince Charles.
If Charles dies before Queen Elizabeth dies, then Prince William will be first in line. If Charles dies while he is king (having succeeded Elizabeth to the throne), then Wlliam becomes king and his eldest son (supposing there is one) will be heir to the throne. If William does not have children, then his younger brother Harry will be first in line.
Most definitely. He has no doubt quite a long wait though. He has to wait for the Queen to die and then his father, unless they both step down from the role, either way, I can't see it happening for a while yet!

The Queen doesn't have the power to do that. The succession to the throne is determined by law, and it's not her personal property. It would require an Act of Parliament to bypass Prince Charles.
There ain't no such person. The Monarch's eldest son (currently prince Charles) is entitled PRINCE of Wales. He also has other titles, including Duke of Cornwall, which may be the source of your confusion. Prince Charles is the Prince of Wales.

Prince Charles is Heir Apparent to the throne of England. He was born in 1948 and he was christened Charles Philip Arthur George.
The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when the name was adopted as the British Royal Family's official name by a proclamation of King George V, replacing the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It remains the family name of the current Royal Family. Prince Charles, his son Prince William and Prince William's new son are all members of the House of Windsor. There is no such thing as the "House of Mountbatten". One of Prince Charles's relatives was Lord Louis Mountbatten, which was a courtesy tile. His family name was Battenburg.

Prince Harry Windsor's birth name is Henry Charles Albert David Windsor.

When Queen Elizabeth II relinquishes the throne or passes on, the next in line is Prince Charles her oldest son. If anything happens that stops him being from becoming King then his eldest son Prince William would become King of the United Kingdom.
Accordng to pchquiz4cash.com, Prince Charles and Lady Diana were 11th cousins.
There are conflicting reports as to if they are circumcised or intact. It appears to err on the side of them being intact because it is reported that their mother Princess Diana refused to have them circumcised. Their father Prince Charles as well as his bothers have been circumcised.
Are you happy.
