Is Prince Charles heir to the English throne?

He legally cannot decline the throne. Until he is king himself (for at least a day) he is not in charge of naming a new heir, the current ruler (the queen) is. The only way he could be skipped is for the current ruler (the Queen) to declare a new legal heir. The current queen or king can technically appoint anyone they wish as heir to the throne (it is usually a blood relative of some sort, but even that is not technically required). It should be noted however that if the public is not happy with the choice they could in theory revolt. (how likely that is to happen in modern times is debatable) There is always someone on the list as heir in case of unexpected death, in fact they keep a list of heirs in case many die at once. But that list can be changed at any time by the current ruler. Basically whoever has been named heir becomes ruler immediately upon the death of the current ruler (or if the current ruler declares that they are stepping down and appointing a new ruler) Now assuming the Queen does not name a new heir, Charles cannot decline becoming king, it will simply happen immediately. Whether or not he bothers to have the ceremony to accept the crown he would still be King. However, if he does not want to keep the the title, he can accept the throne and immediately step down and appoint someone else. He needs to be King for at least one day to have the authority to do this.


Was Queen Elizabeth always Queen Elizabeth?

No, when she was born a princess. Her father was only the second son of King George V and therefore she was not expected yet to become queen.


Could Queen Elizabeth have named Prince Philip as King?

Nope, Queen Elizabeth II is still the Monarch, Prince William of Wales isn't her Heir, his father Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales is going to be King when his mother the Queen dies (if he does die before her, in which case Prince William will be king) Prince Charles has stated he will take the royal name King George VII because Charles is a bad name in the British monarchy (Charles I started the English Civil War, Charles II was his son well known for is 12 bastards and undercover Catholicness) and also to honor his Grandfather(King George VI), when Charles dies William will ether become King (as King William V) of the Heir to the crown (The Prince of Wales)

Will Kate Middleton be queen when William is king?

In the UK, a Queen can be both a female ruler, or the wife of a male ruler. On the other hand, King only describes a male ruler - the husband of a ruling female is known as a Prince Consort. So, Catherine Middleton would become a Queen if William takes the throne. However she'll be a Queen Consort in this case, different to Elizabeth II, a Queen Regnant.
