Best Answer

Because the royal line follows the prince of Wales dependents. If prince of wales does not have any children, then it follows the next oldest male. If no males then falls to oldest female. By design the title prince of wales always signifies the next in line. In the case of Queen Elizabeth io our current queen regent, the were no male siblings therefore when her father became king George iv then she being the oldest daughter was the next in line for the throne.

The line of succession always goes to the Monarch's eldest child. If the monarch has no children, it then goes to the eldest sibling. If there are no siblings, it goes to the Eldest Aunt or Uncle and so on... Prince Charles is Queen Elizabeth's Eldest child, so he is next in line. Prince William is Prince Charles' Eldest Child so he will follow Charles. Prince George is Prince William's Eldest Child, so he will follow William.
