Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, is currently eighth in line to the throne of England. Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, is fifth in line to the throne.
They are there but as they are not next in line for the throne as Charles and Wiliam they are not such high profile.
Prince Andrew Duke of York.
If Charles and Diana had remained married and childless, the heir to the throne would have been Prince Andrew, and if Andrew did not have male issue, the next-in-line would have been Prince Edward.
No catholic queen can sit on the royal throne, the king will have to vacate the throne. We saw King Edward do it after he married Mrs Simpson.
Princess Anne, now known as the Princess Royal, and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, had lower media profiles because they are not direct heirs to the throne. Andrew is fourth in line, while Anne is 10th. It was the same for their younger brother Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, who is seventh in line. Much of the media attention at the Diamond Jubilee events went to the family of the Queen's eldest son, Prince Charles, who is the direct heir to the throne.
AnswerHis Royal Highness The Prince James of Wessex, Viscount Severn, son of Prince Edward, born 2007
Simply because Charles was born first, he becomes the next in line to the throne.
Prince William. If his whole line is disqualified for some reason, it would be Prince Andrew.
No. Otherwise he wouldn't be heir to the throne. He has two younger brothers and one younger sister.
Edward the Seventh, who reigned from 1901 to 1910, as he was her eldest son and so first in line to the throne only because men went first, thankfully it has changed.
Because of primogeniture - the line is meant to pass through the eldest sons.
