William, because he was Henry VIII's only son, so he was rightfully the heir to the throne. Mary, because William died really young and she was eldest so she was the next heiress to the throne.
probably when Queen Elizabeth dies it will either be Prince Charles or Prince William on the throne.

The Glorious Revolution
William of Orange and his wife Queen Mary took over the throne of England after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. This event involved the overthrow of King James II, who was seen as a threat to Protestantism and parliamentary governance. William and Mary were invited to invade England by a group of Protestant nobles, leading to a relatively bloodless transition of power. Their reign marked the establishment of constitutional monarchy and the Bill of Rights in 1689.
Parliament withdrew its support from James and offered the English throne to his daughter, Mary, and her husband, William of Orange.
