William, Prince of Wales Charles's eldest son, Prince William, is now first in line to the throne. Like his father before him, he's been granted the title Prince of Wales, as well as Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge, and William's wife Catherine is now Princess of Wales.
Instead, after the queen, her firstborn, Charles, ascended to the throne and became the British sovereign. Next in line is his firstborn, William, Prince of Wales, and then William's firstborn, Prince George.
Kate will instead be a queen consort, the wife of a reigning king (William, of course). In the role, she will support her husband in his duties, attend engagements, and help with charitable organizations that resonate with her.
Prince William is now first-in-line to the British throne. He married Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, on 29 April 2011 and they share three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. When Prince William becomes King, Kate Middleton will be known as Queen Consort.
The last person to hold the title Queen Consort was the current queen's mother. When her husband King George VI died in 1952 she was officially re-styled Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. If William dies before Kate and their son Prince George becomes king, Kate will then become the Queen Mother.
Will Camilla be queen if King Charles dies? If Charles, 74, dies before Camilla, she will have the name of “queen dowager” bestowed upon her, according to reports. As Camilla is excluded from the Windsor bloodline, she would not be the sole queen in the event that Charles passes away before she does.
Prince William defied royal protocol at the King's Coronation when he chose not to bow to Queen Camilla at the Coronation Concert.
As for why the Queen left Meghan out of her inheritance, Radar Online's source speculated that it could be due to either “practicality” or Harry and Meghan's drama with the British royal family in the years leading up to the Queen's death.
Why is Kate not a princess? Even though Diana was known as 'Princess Diana', Kate is not a princess just because she married Prince William. To become a Princess, one has to be born into the Royal Family such as Prince William and Kate's daughter, Princess Charlotte, or the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne.
At present, Harry is fifth in line to the throne and this is a birthright “privilege” that cannot be revoked without an Act of Parliament being in place.
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).
Prince Harry
The Queen's grandson and the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. He's fifth in line to the throne.
Kate Middleton's decision not to curtsy to Queen Camilla was a clear indication of her disapproval of King Charles' wife and her mishandling of his coronation, according to sources. While Kate is known for her poised public image, insiders reveal that she is no pushover when it comes to royal politics.
Camilla Is Related to Both Diana and King Charles
Strangely, they are also both related to the late Princess Diana through shared ancestry dating back to King Charles II. Also note that Camilla's great-grandmother was a mistress to King Edward VII, the great-great-grandfather of King Charles.
Although they never met, Diana and Kate Middleton's fashion is certainly something they would have had in common: from regal eveningwear to formal ensembles, the pair share a knack for chic and impeccable dressing.
But the Queen Mother had an agreement that Prince Harry would get more than Prince William. So, when she passed away aged 101, the brothers had £14million to split between them, but as agreed the younger brother did better out of the deal.
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.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have lived in the US since stepping down as working royals, in 2020. Prince Harry and Meghan no longer receive money from the Royal Family and have a series of commercial arrangements with a number of companies.
The monarch isn't a fan of a deep bath either, she is said to bathe in “no more than seven inches of water”, according to royal author Brian Hoey for the Daily Mail.
The Princess of Wales paid respect to King Charles' wife
During the coronation concert at Windsor Castle, Princess Kate curtseyed as Queen Camilla passed her on her way to her seat, with the act an age-old sign of deep respect when greeting a monarch.
All royals are expected to bow or curtsy to the sovereign and his wife, King Charles and Queen Camilla.
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.
During the ceremony, Charles' wife Camilla, who has used the title Queen Consort since Queen Elizabeth II's death last year, will also receive a new title. She is set to become Queen Camilla when she is crowned with Queen Mary's crown.
What's the difference between the Queen and the Queen Consort? The reigning monarch's wife is traditionally known as the Queen Consort, while the Queen (technically the “Queen Regnant”) refers to a woman who has ascended the throne through the pre-established familial line of succession and has sovereign power.
British Royal Family, why did Kate Middleton lose so much weight? According to an article published by the Neue Post, the trigger of the sudden Kate Middleton weight loss would be the three pregnancies supported at a short distance from each other, which debilitated his already fragile physique.
