Which of Queen Victoria's children became the next monarch?

Queen Victoria did not pick which child of hers to came after her. Her oldest male child (Albert Edward) automatically became Prince of Wales, and next in line to the throne. Queen Victoria felt that he was not the best choice and probably would have picked one of her other sons over him to be King. She told someone that she hoped that he would die before she did, because she did not want to imagine him as King.

She also gave him no responsibilities. Her son Leopold (who was about 15 years younger than Albert Edward) had a key to her box, and once when he found Bertie (Albert Edward's nickname) with it said that it was the key to the Queen's box and not for the Prince of Wales and took it from him.

Why should we keep Britain's monarchy?

Consider the alternatives, if Britain was not a constitutional monarchy, it would either have to have an executive head of state, such as the USA or France now has or the monarch would have to be replaced as head of state by a figurehead president (as Ireland or Germany have). An executive presidency would require a completely new constitutional system (what powers would Parliament retain, for example) while a figurehead president is usually a political appointee of the party in power and therefore runs the risk of being unacceptable to supporters of the opposition party.

A constitutional monarchy isn't suitable for every country but while the monarchy stands aside from politics and is generally respected by the people, it gives a sense of unity and continuity to Britain, which perhaps the Republican alternatives couldn't.

Why was elizabeth in danger when edward VI was king?

If you mean Elizabeth I, she wasn't in any danger whatsoever, both were brought up in the new Anglican faith, introduced by their Father, Henry VIII.

Things changed however, when Edward died of consumption (tuberculosis) on 6 July 1553, and their eldest sister, Mary, was crowned Queen. Mary had been brought up a devout Catholic and believed her sister's Anglican faith to be heresy. She had Elizabeth placed under house arrest and came very close to signing her death warrant on a number of occasions due to Elizabeth's refusal to recant her faith.

When Mary herself died on 17 November 1558, Elizabeth was released from house arrest and proclaimed Queen. Her coronation took place on 15 January 1559
