Please see below for the current line of succession to the throne. A question I'm often asked is who would succeed if Prince Charles would not survive his mother. Many people think that the throne in that case would pass on to Prince Andrew. This is not the case. If that should happen, the throne would go to Prince William, who is currently second in line.
Succession is regulated by the Act of Settlement, defining that only Protestant descendants of Princess Sophia - the Electress of Hanover and and granddaughter of King James I - are eligible to succeed. Roman Catholics or those married to Roman Catholics are automatically excluded.
You can also check out the line of succession as listed on the official royal web site at.
