The Queen is the longest reigning living monarch in the world and is also the longest reigning
monarch in British history.
For many Britons, it is hard to imagine a future without our devoted Queen who has advised
13 Prime Ministers over more than 60 years.
Her son Prince Charles is the heir apparent and will become king the instant that his
mother passes away.
Prince William is second in line to the throne and is followed by his children Prince George
and then Princess Charlotte.
The Succession to the Crown Act made it so that males born after 2011 no longer have
precedence over their elder female siblings.
Previously, princes always took precedence over princesses.
Prince Harry is fifth in line to the throne.
He was previously third, but has been pushed down the line of succession by his niece and
nephew.
The Queen�s second eldest son Prince Andrew is sixth in line, with his daughters Princess
Beatrice and Princess Eugenie seventh and eighth.
Prince Edward, the Queen�s youngest child, is ninth in line, with his children James,
Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Mounbatten Windsor 10th and 11th.
Although Princess Anne is the Queen�s second eldest child, she is 12th in line to the throne
due to the Act of Settlement 1701.
The legislation gives precedence to sons of the monarch over any daughters.
The Succession to the Crown Bill later changed this rule but was not retrospective.
Princess Anne�s son Peter Phillips is 13th in line to the throne, with his daughters
Savannah and Isla 14th and 15th.
Zara Tindall is 16th in line and her daughter Mia 17th. tell us your thoughts in comments
