he was the great nephew of Edward and was blood related.His dad was also king.
He and his father had a strong claim to the throne. Edgar's father died in suspicious circumstances in 1054. Despite having the closest blood relation to Edward the Confessor he was too young. Although he did have the support of some nobles he needed more to become king. Edgar Atheling was Edward the confessors nephew and that means he's a blood relative that also helped his claim to the throne. Edgar Atheling have to be king because he was nephew of Edward the confessor. But why did Harold become a king???

Yes, Edgar Atheling did have forces, albeit limited. After the death of Edward the Confessor in 1066, Edgar was proclaimed king by some English nobles, but he lacked a strong military backing. His claim was supported primarily by supporters from the north and some of the English nobility, but he faced significant challenges from William the Conqueror and other claimants to the throne. Ultimately, his forces were insufficient to secure the throne, and he became a figure of little political power following the Norman Conquest.

Edgar the Atheling, also known as Edgar Ætheling, was seen as indecisive and lacking strong leadership qualities. He struggled to assert his claim to the English throne during the Norman Conquest, ultimately failing to secure it. His perceived weaknesses contributed to the diminished support for the Anglo-Saxon cause in the fight against William the Conqueror.

Because his wife had no claim to the throne. Charles will claim his throne based on him being Elizabeth's son, not his father's.
