Best Answer

Not until her uncle, Edward VIII, became king in 1936. After that, her chances were better than average. After Edward abdicated British monarchy at the end of 1936, Princess Elizabeth became second in line to the throne behind her father, King George VI. If Edward had never abdicated and died childless in 1972, Elizabeth might have become queen at the age of 46.
