If you read the inscription, you'll note that it says "Whosoever pulleth out this sword from this stone and anvil is rightwise ruler born of England."
So, there's your answer. Be rightwise ruler born of England, and Bob's your uncle. Actually, the uncles of the current (2016) rightwise ruler born of England were Ed, George, and two Hanks, but that's not a common expression. (The uncle of the next in line for the throne was Tony, and those of the next in line for the throne were Andy, Ed, Mark and Tim. So if Bob actually is your uncle, that's not an especially good sign.)
The Sword in the Stone was created in 1938.
In the Disney animated movie The Sword in Stone, Arthur, nicknamed Wart by Merlin, is accompanying Kaye to a joust as his squire. Wart forgets Kaye's sword and is headed back to fetch it when he comes across a sword embedded in stone. Wanting to get back to the tournament as soon as possible he decides to pull the sword from the stone and take it back to Kaye. What Wart didn't realize was that this sword was placed in the stone to be pulled from the stone only by the "rightwise born King of England." Others had tried but not been able to remove the sword. Wart easily pulls the sword from the stone and is acknowledge by everyone as Arthur, King of England.
He is described as a young knight who is quite selfish putting the sword under his pretense for he did not actually take out the sword - Squire Arthur did
