Kings and Queens of England.
Who can be the monarch of England?
In England, you become a king or a Queen when you are the first child of a Monarch.
Today, The Queen is Queen Elizabeth II because she is King George’s first daughter. The Queen’s husband cannot become the King. (Elizabeth’s husband was her cousin, Philip Mountbatten. He was called Prince Philip, the Queen’s consort. He died in 1921, so she is a widow now. )
Elizabeth’s sister is dead, too. Her name was princess Margaret. The Queen’s siblings cannot become king or queens because the Queen has children. So the next monarch can be one of Elizabeth’s children.
Elizabeth has 4 children : Charles, Ann, Andrew and Edward. Charles, Prince of Wales, is the next King in line because he is Elizabeth’s first son.
Charles is also a widow because his late wife Lady Diana is dead, too, but he has 2 sons: William and Harry. So, after Charles, the next King to be is William. William is very popular and he already has 3 heirs to the throne: George, Charlotte and Louis.
When Charles becomes the king, his second wife, Camilla Parker Bowles can become the Queen consort.
