Instead, after the queen, her firstborn, Charles, ascended to the throne and became the British sovereign. Next in line is his firstborn, Prince William, Prince of Wales, and then his firstborn, Prince George.
Harry is still fifth in line to the throne. His father is king, his brother, Prince William is first in line and William's children – Prince George, Prince Charlotte and Prince Louis – are second, third and fourth in line, respectively.
Both of them are married or partners of the next in line to the throne. This means that neither Camilla nor Kate will ever be known as Queen, only as Queen Consort. When William becomes king, that will be the title that awaits her.
Princess Anne is the Queen's second-born child, but she's below her two younger brothers in the line of succession because, as with Lady Louise above her, the 2013 Succession of the Crown Act doesn't apply retroactively.
So, the bottom line? Yes, Prince Harry could one day be king…but there'd need to be a lot of unfortunate and premature deaths in order for that to happen. And even if it did happen, there's no certainty that the present Duke of Sussex would actually want to take on the role (he could very well choose to abdicate).

Royal Inheritance
Representatives told Forbes in 2021 that Harry was not a beneficiary of any of the $100 million left to the royal family by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.
Her new title would be Queen Dowager as the widow of the King, a title first used by Queen Adelaide in 1830.
Charlotte is also a granddaughter of King Charles III. She is third in the line of succession to the British throne after her father and elder brother, following Elizabeth II's death. Should her older brother - Prince George - have children later in life, the line of succession will fall to them.
In general, succession falls to the first-born child of the heir and their children, followed by the next oldest sibling of the heir and their offspring and so on. That's why, for instance, Charles' children and grandchildren are ahead in line of his oldest brother, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.
After an historic 70 years on the throne, Britain's longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, died at the age of 96 on Sept. 8, 2022. Immediately upon her passing, her eldest son Charles became the new king.
If William is to die before Kate and their eldest son Prince George becomes king, Kate will then become the Queen Mother.
Prince William likely won't become King anytime soon. While he is the heir to the throne in the order of succession, he's still behind his father, the King. But that hasn't stopped William from preparing for his future duties.
From 2018 to 2018, Harry's annual allowance from Duchy, which he shared with Meghan, was £5 million or $6.9 million. This paid for Harry and Meghan's public duties as working members of the royal family, such as wardrobe and travel, as well as private costs.
While Kate inherited $110 million in jewelry from the Queen, that collection did not include the Spencer tiara, a diamond-encrusted crown inherited by William's late mother, Princess Diana, in the mid-1970s. Diana wore the tiara in her wedding to King Charles—then Prince Charles—in 1981.
Princess Charlotte has been refered as "the richest kid in the world" due to her status as a member of the British royal family, which is one of the wealthiest and most prominent royal families in the world.
Queen Elizabeth is believed to have left an estate worth approximately 782 million dollars solely to her son, King Charles. King Charles' inheritance from his mother will not be taxed due to the fact that money exchanged from "monarch to monarch" is exempt from taxation.
Even if she had desired to skip her eldest son, Charles, in favour of her grandson, William, she did not have the power to choose her successor on a whim.
In fact, the new Prince of Wales has never worn a wedding ring - and never plans to do so. In March 2011, one month before the Royal Wedding, St James' Palace confirmed that William wouldn't be wearing a wedding band.
Like his father, if William chooses to use his first name he would be known as King William V. As previously stated by a hilarious young student, William the Conqueror was the first King William.
The role is not typically paid, and it has been reported that Lady Hussey was not given a salary during her time in the position, instead serving the Queen out of loyalty. The Queen had at least five ladies in waiting during her reign, including Lady Hussey.
She also has tattoos on each of her wrists and a tiger on her left-hand shoulder blade. While she does not appear to have any permanent markings, Princess Kate has experimented with temporary tattoo designs before.
With this change, the former ladies-in-waiting of Queen Elizabeth II will help the king, but they will be known as Ladies of the House. Lady Susan Hussey, Lady Mary Morrison and Lady Annabel Whitehead will help Charles III organize formal events at Buckingham Palace.
