Hey there! So, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s little bundle of joy has finally arrived, and I know you’re probably wondering—where exactly does this adorable little royal fit into the grand succession plan? Let’s dive into the details, shall we?
Here’s How the Line of Succession Works
Alright, let’s break it down. First up, we’ve got Prince Charles, who’s patiently waiting in the wings to take the crown once Queen Elizabeth decides to hang up her crown. After Charles, it’s Prince William’s turn, and then it moves on to his three adorable kiddos with Kate Middleton: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Once they’ve all had their chance, it’s finally Prince Harry’s turn, and then—voilà!—Baby Sussex steps into the spotlight.
So, if you’re keeping score at home, Prince Harry’s son is seventh in line for the throne. Now, while it’s unlikely he’ll ever actually wear the crown, the line of succession doesn’t stop there. After Baby Sussex, it’s Uncle Andrew’s turn, followed by Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. It’s like a never-ending royal relay race, right?

If you ask me, that’s exactly what the monarchy needs to stay relevant in today’s world. Paul believes William could take the monarchy to a whole new level, bringing it back onto the global stage in a meaningful way.
What Do the People Want?
Paul also thinks that a lot of people share this sentiment. He believes the nation might not be too excited about seeing Charles take the throne alongside Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Instead, many would prefer to see the crown pass directly from Charles to his firstborn son, William. As Paul puts it, "Ask the nation because I think that there is a greater number that would rather see King William VI and Queen Catherine ascend the throne." Sounds like a pretty compelling argument, doesn’t it?
