He would make a good king because he was Edward the Confessors great nephew and it might have been in the genes :) However he was only about 9 or 10, no one knows for sure, when he became one of the contestants to fight for the throne.
because he was too young Evan though he was the closest blood relative.

prince Edgar should not be king because many people thought he was to young to lead England. although he the great-nephew of edward the confesser and was a descendant of the Anglo-Saxons most impressive king, Alfred the great and really was the legitimate heir to the English throne.
Edgar is elder.
Prince Edgar the Ætheling's claim was that he was the closest blood relative to King Edward. In fact, apart from Edgar there were no other male members of the House of Wessex (the royal family) alive in 1066. Edgar was the great-nephew of Edward the Confessor. Harold II may have been descended in the male line from Æthelræd I, King of Wessex (865-871AD) but this has never been proved.
Edgar Ætheling should be considered for the position of king due to his royal lineage as the great-nephew of King Edward the Confessor. His bloodline gives him a legitimate claim to the throne and could help maintain stability and continuity in the monarchy. Additionally, Edgar's potential as a unifying figure among the Anglo-Saxon nobility could help prevent further conflicts and power struggles within the realm.
Robert Stattel played Edgar in the 1968 Broadway production of King Lear.
