Additionally, Macbeth's ambition drives him to secure his claim to the throne before others can challenge it, particularly given the prophecy from the witches that foretold his rise to power. This urgency underscores the themes of ambition and the consequences of unchecked desire in Shakespeare's play.

Malcolm suspected Macduff of having designs on the crown and throne of Scotland. In Act 4 Scene 3, Macduff had arrived in England from Scotland. He had joined the group of discontented Scotsmen that had formed around the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. Malcolm wanted to take the throne of Scotland away from Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. He wanted someone else to kill and behead Macbeth. But he didn't want Macbeth's murderer to gain the Scottish crown and throne. Malcolm knew that Macbeth had had Macduff's entire family and household murdered. So he wanted Macduff to be Macbeth's murderer. But he wanted to make sure that Macduff would do the killing only to avenge his lost family and household. He wanted to make sure that Macduff wouldn't try to claim the crown and throne as his.
This is really a matter of personal opinion. You can say that, since Macbeth was the one who actually killed King Duncan, he is the one at fault, though, it can also be argued that, as she deeply encouraged Macbeth to take over the throne, Lady Macbeth is just as responsible, maybe even more at fault. It should be said, though, that Macbeth was already desiring the throne even before Lady Macbeth said anything to him about it... In act one, scene four, lines 57-58, Macbeth says, "Stars, hide your fires;/ Let not light see my black and deep desires." He might not have gone through with anything, though, had he not been so encouraged by Lady Macbeth.
Macbeth claimed the Scottish throne by committing regicide against King Duncan and manipulating the circumstances to his advantage. With Duncan dead, he seized power through force and cunning, using his position as the king's trusted advisor and the support of influential allies to solidify his claim.
To make sure that Banquo's son wont become king as the witches prediccted.
