Does Charles have to be King?

Can Charles abdicate in favor of William?

Can Queen Elizabeth II chose her successor in line of entitlement and pass Charles for William?

Can William become King now ?

Does Camilla have any authority in this matter as wife of the heir apparent, Prince of Wales, or as Queen Consort in waiting ?

Does William have a legal stand in this matter ?

Does the 1936 ABDICATION of King Edward VIII affect this decision or dilemma ?

Should Charles be King if the diagnoses is true?

I am relying on the input from knowledgeable individuals and Scholars of British Law to help provide answers to these questions. I am aware these questions have been asked and answered already, under normal circumstances.

As a retired medical professional in the United States, I am aware of our laws here that govern over individuals. These questions I am asking are under specific medically diagnosed grounds of " abnormal " condition that has become public knowledge about the heir apparent to the British throne, the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles. The informant is Prince Charles wife, Camilla Parker- Bowels, the Duchess of Cornwall. Although the palace has not confirmed this information, it is said British Law pertaining to succession in this situation is currently being addressed and reviewed by the Queen and her legal counsel at the present. Being fully aware that we no longer live in the time of King George III, It has also been mentioned the need for the Queen to address and establish new Laws pertaining to this matter for the future before she steps down. These new Laws, should she make, will apply to her successor as well.

Also, at present in the news, it is being reported that the current Monarch is ill and that her abdication and / or death may be imminent. The palace has stated that her Majesty has cut back on her royal activity , but states that she is not quitting. A few weeks later the media reports that the matter is more serious than thought and word is now that the Queen's abdication is expected. Its said that Prince Charles royal duties have increased. He attended the opening of Parliament 2013 for the first time in seventeen years. People noticed the sad, yet fearful look on his face.

Alarm has spread through the world. These questions have become significant concern now because the information Camilla Parker-Bowels made public over a year ago is that her husband, Prince Charles, has been suffering from memory problems for a while and has been medically diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. A mental condition which would deem Charles as mentally incompetent to rule as King requiring Queen Elizabeth II, on these grounds, to protect and insure the success of the future of the monarchy by passing the crown to his eldest son, Prince William.

William is well trained for the position At the age of 31 years old. His grandmother Queen Elizabeth was 25 years old, and Queen Victoria was 18 years old when they became Queen and both reached their 60 year mark and made British history.

Due to the nature of this matter, this is not expected to be spoken of openly and I don't expect a comment from the Palace. It is the responsibility of the current Monarch, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, as well as Prince William, and the medical physician who diagnosed this disorder, if true, to ethically obligate themselves to insure that the right and good measures are taken for the Monarchy and British people in whole.

King Edward VIII ABDICATION pertains only to himself and his descendants, which he and Wallis Simpson had NONE.

Camilla Parker-Bowels has no legal authority in this matter. We are all aware of her stand and will to be Queen (Consort). If this information is true, this is one time that it would have been in her best interest to have kept this information silent among the family and Royal Physicians, if this information is true. For Prince Charles, we sincerely hope it is not. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease to succumb too. Especially for a man of his intellectual depth and perception.

Queen Elizabeth II does have more power and control in this matter and over this decision than most are aware, and from my research on this situation, if true, the Queen does have the authority, as well as the obligation, to bypass Charles and name William as her successor for the good of the Monarchy.

William as Charles son would also have a legal right and obligation to protect the Monarchy under these circumstances as well as heir third in line to the throne, if others aware of this diagnoses do not. If sabotage, deceit, or denial should occur and the truth is later proven, this would open up other charges and Parliament involvement. A scandal to rock the Monarchy and even possibly stain Queen Elizabeth's good name and reign if she passes and if this is true and she does nothing about it before her death or abdication. Charles and Camilla could be forced off the throne and the Monarchy abolished all together if the public decides to pursue this avenue.

Elizabeth will not want to risk her life sacrifice and that of her family, the good of the Monarchy, nor subject her son to such suffering that will be caused if he becomes King, and this diagnoses is true.

If Queen Elizabeth is aware of this diagnoses and allows him to become King the people will hold her accountable as well. If she is terminal, and this information is true and not addressed by her before she passes, this will destroy the Monarchy and all the hard work she and her family has done.

William would still have to step in and clean up their mess and restore the Monarchy. Charles name would then forever be ruined and he would most certainly suffer a character attack beyond any repair and go down forevre in history as the laughing stock many already view him as being. Largely in part because of Camilla herself. From this perspective it would be best to just let William reign to begin with.

There was also a question of true royal blood leniency of the heir to sit the British throne. Charles Windsor is German through both his parents bloodline. Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is the true Windsor name Via the German Royal House and ancestry, not British as King George V wanted it believed. Hitler is a cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. It was reported that many favored abolishing the current Monarchy for this reason after Queen Elizabeth died.

But William was the one true British Royal heir entitled to sit the throne through his ancestry and his Royal Bloodline of his mother, Princess Diana, nee Spencer of the Stuart Royal Klan ancestry line.

Because of Diana's 'pure' Royal Blood, William is related to every King to have sat the throne of England and Scotland. And through Queen Victoria, William is also related to nearly every European Royal House.

It was reported to prevent the abolishment of the Monarchy by their British subjects, it was agreed by Queen Elizabeth that William will be the next King of England. This has been a subject of interest I have followed.

Diana herself even once remarked that William would be more suited to be the next king of England than Charles. Many hold great resentment, even deep rooted hatred against Charles and Camilla for the adultery during Charles and Diana's marriage and her untimely death after a car crash back on August 31, 1997 in a Paris tunnel. Some conspiracy theorist blame the current royal family. Prince Phillip and Prince Charles for planning her death. For these reasons, many do not feel its proper for Charles to be King, and definitely do not want to see Camilla sit the throne as Queen Consort. Many believe it is Diana's position alone and since she is now seen by some as a Queen in heaven feel it is best that Camilla stand down.

For all these many reasons, William is viewed as the only salvation of the Monarchy at this time in history. William has won the multitude just as his beloved mother Diana did. As a Professional Helicopter Search and Rescue Pilot, a married man, and now father to be, William and his wife Kathrine Middleton, have won the hearts of the people of the world and are viewed and respected by all. Not like Charles and Camilla. Its reported that even the Queen feels they are too old now to reign and that the Monarchy needs the younger generation to sustain it. William is viewed by some as the long awaited chosen one of prophecy and feel his time to fulfill his long awaited destiny has come. Diana herself even referred to him as the re-born King Arthur.

Now with all this known, the world sits and waits to see who will be the next King of England.

Can Queen Elizabeth II abdicate?

No, she cannot. In the past a reigning monarch had some say, via their wills, over who would succeed them. Today in the UK succession is carefully regulated by acts of Parliament, and the monarch cannot countermand the law. If she abdicates, it will be in favor of Charles who is next in line. Elizabeth may have had strong input into the acts as they currently apply. There has been a recent change that eliminates favoring male children (male primogeniture) over females and she probably had some things to say in support of that. Now that the law is set, only another act of Parliament can change the order of succession. If Charles predeceases Elizabeth and William, then her abdication would result in William becoming king. It appears very unlikely that she will ever abdicate; she has such a long and well respected reign. It is not customary for the British monarch to abdicate in favor of younger heirs as it is with some of the other crowned heads of Europe.

How many people have to die before Prince William becomes king?

That is a rather macabre way of asking the question, but Prince William is second in the line of succession for the throne of the British Commonwealth, after his father, Prince Charles. So when the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, passes away: his father would then inherit the throne (presuming that he too is still alive, and chooses not to abdicate in favor of his son) followed by William himself.

What will Prince William and Kate's new titles be after the wedding?

Shortly before their wedding, Queen Elizabeth released the titles William and Kate will be known by. Their first title will be Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, their second title is Earl and Countess of Strathearn, and their third title is Baron and Baroness Carrickfergus.Previous answer: That depends on whether the Queen and Prince Charles are still alive, and whether William is given a title on his wedding day (as is customary).If both still were alive, William and his wife would be known as Prince and Princess William of Wales, unless William were given a title, (say Duke of X), when they would be The Duke and Duchess of X.When the Queen dies, and if Prince Charles becomes King, without being passed over, William will automatically become Duke of Cornwall, and his wife HRH The Duchess of Cornwall (Princess Camilla will either be Queen, or will not assume this title in which case she will be The Duchess of Lancaster or some other courtesy title since the King or Queen is automatically the Duke of Lancaster -- even for a female monarch). It will be traditional (but not automatic) to make him Prince of Wales too. In this case, his wife would become HRH The Princess of Wales.If Prince Charles and the Queen had died, William would be King and his wife would automatically become HM The Queen (Camilla would be The Dowager Duchess of Cornwall, or just Princess Camilla if Charles dies before the Queen or is passed over for King in favor of William) or Queen Dowager if she, in fact, does become queen if Charles does ascent to King.)It also depends in what context you want to use the title (eg. if you are addressing them face to face, etc.) and also, they won't have their titles changed, just added on to. So William was born a Prince, (Prince of Wales) and whatever other titles he gets will just be one of the many titles he has. By the way, William was given a title on his wedding day, it was Duke of Cambridge.
