Did lady Jane grey deserve to die?
No, Lady Jane Grey did not deserve to die. She did not even want to become queen in the first place. She was somewhat forced by John Dudley. Mary Tudor was the rightful heir, but Dudley had King Edward VI change the will right before Edward died. The will stated that Edward's sister, Mary, was the next in line of succesion, but Edward was convinced to change it. When Mary rallied and defeated Jane's supporters, Mary was pronounced queen. Jane, as well as her husband Guilford Dudley, (his father is John, and John set up the marrriage between the two) were charged for high treason. She and her husband were both executed by beheading on February 12, 1554.
What are the advantages of divine right of kings?
The advantages are that:
- the king can do whatever he wants to do
- the advisor of the king can persuade the kind to do whatever
- no one can say anything back to the king

These were all I could think up of. There are way more cons, though.
After Prince William dies who will follow?
It is hoped that sometime in the not-too-distant future Prince William of Wales will have children. In the meantime, Prince William will eventually become king. After he dies, one of his children will succeed him. According to current law, the sovereign's oldest son has the right to become king. If he dies before fathering a child, the throne will pass to his brother, Prince Harry.
Who knows? Perhaps one day Prince William will have a daughter, whom he will name Diana after his mother. And perhaps this Diana might one day inherit the throne, and become queen.

What was the importance of king george III?
He was the King of Great Britain. He was hated by colonists for his "taxes" but actually he taxed them about a quarter less than he taxed his own people back home in Britain. Americans still argues that it was unfair that they were being taxed, so King George, trying to be a good king, lowered the taxes as low as he could go. Colonists still complained that they couldn't get their way. Without plans, the King made acts... This infuriated colonists, though he wasnt trying to. The participated in the Boston Tea party, destroying Private Property. What the colonists did that night (Sons of Libert) was uncalled for. If they really wanted participation in government they could have voiced their opinions through ina number of different ways, instead of ruining products that the King was trying to make more available for them. The colonists were being plain, UNGRATEFUL!
