5. Mary I (5 years, 121 days)
Queen Mary I was the only surviving child of Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. A devout Catholic, Mary was kept from her mother after her parents marriage was annulled and was forced to serve in her half-sisters household as a lady-in-waiting. Mary came to the throne after her brother, King Edward VI, died in 1553 and left his throne to Lady Jane Grey. Marys supporters overturned the young Lady Jane Grey in less than two weeks. Mary worked to return England to Catholicism, a move which earned her the moniker Bloody Mary that persists to this day. Mary died in 1558, childless, from what historians now think was ovarian cancer.
4. James II (3 years, 309 days)
King James II was the last Catholic King of England. The younger son of King Charles I, he lived most of his formative years in exile in France, and returned to England with the restoration of the monarch in 1660. His brother, King Charles II, did not have any legitimate children, so James inherited the throne. His reign was marked by a push for religious tolerance, especially for Catholics. James was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and his elder daughter, Queen Mary II, and her husband, King William III, were chosen to be co-monarchs.
3. Richard III (2 years, 57 days)
King Richard III remains one of the most divisive monarchs in England history to this day. The younger brother of King Edward IV, he played a significant role in his brothers reign. After his brother died and his nephews disappeared from the Tower of London, Richard claimed the throne. He was defeated by Henry Tudors forces at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, and was the last Yorkist King and the final person in the Plantagenet line.
His body was found under a Leicester car park in 2012, and was reburied in Greyfriars Church in Leicester.
2. Edward V (78 days)
King Edward V, also known as the elder of the Princes in the Tower, was the son of King Edward IV. Edward was never crowned, and was a pawn in the power struggles won by his uncle, who became King Richard III. Edward, and his younger brother, Richard, were taken into the Tower of London by their uncle who said he was protecting them. However, just 78 days after the death of his father, the young Edward was deposed. Soon afterwards, he was seen in the Tower for the final time. The mystery of what happened to the Princes in the Tower has never been solved.
1. Lady Jane Grey (9 days)
Lady Jane Grey, also known as the Nine Days Queen, holds the record for the shortest reign in English history. King Henry VIIIs son, King Edward VI, decided to name the Protestant Lady Jane Grey as his successor upon his death at the age of 15. Descended through Edwards aunt, Princess Mary and Charles Brandon, Jane was given a Humanist education. She married Lord Guildford Dudley in 1553.
Edward drafted a will that altered the line of succession, bypassing his Catholic half-sister, Mary. Although Mary had forces behind her, the Privy Council proclaimed Jane Queen of England and Ireland on 10 July 1553, but by 19 July, they had switched their allegiance to Mary Tudor. Jane was charged with high treason and convicted. Jane was beheaded at the Tower of London on 12 February 1554, and is buried in the Church of St. Peter Ad Vincula at the Tower.

The point is life before 1850 sucked.

Ok, maybe before 1900.

They would just say something like 'the King is gravely ill' when it became necessary.

Dat really isnt that all dat personal. I know he isnt like an ordinary celebrity, but when a famous person has cancer those details are usually made public. Also, I would think if The King is dying, the government would want to prepare da public.

They really dont. The BBC announced the Queens death hours after it happened and hid it very badly before the announcement.

I think it's incredibly personal. There's no reason the details would be made public.

Like I said, if he was dying, they would indicate that. But there's no need to be specific just because some (not all) famous people do.

Extremely unlikely.

William
William's kids in birth order
Harry
Harry's kids in birth order

When William's kids have kids, the line of succession is through them.

No, only if some massive disaster killed William and Harry's family. And even then, Andrew may decide not to take the role and it passes to his eldest daughter, Beatrice.

The succession order goes like this:
  1. William, Prince of Wales
  2. Prince George
  3. Princess Charlotte
  4. Prince Louis
  5. Harry, Duke of Sussex
  6. Prince Archie
  7. Princess Lilibet
  8. Andrew, Duke of York
  9. Princess Beatrice
  10. Princess Eugenie

He is new. The Queen wasn't married to a king I don't think. Her husband was like a royal version of First Lady or First Man in America. He didn't have power himself. Only she did

The new king is her son. He's very old though because his mother was Queen for fucking forever and was ancient. He waited like 70 years to take the throne.

The royals have much more power than people realise and have had laws vetoed and amended to not affect them numerous times.

This is true now but it was very unlikely that that Elizabeth was Queen, especially for so long. IIRC the King wanted to marry a divorcee or something like that but he had to abdicate the throne to do so. Then the next King in line only had daughters so Elizabeth became Queen when he died.

I think they changed the rule to oldest child regardless of gender becomes next in line of succession only recently

I hate Trump, but I have to admit that he (somehow) has amassed tens of millions of supporters. He wasnt randomly chosen to become president, people chose to make him president. Thats democracy.

It's easy. He appealed to what was always there (racists) and said they should be "out and proud," so to speak.

Let's just get this out of the way - not only did he not win the popular vote, but given the GOP's well documented history of voter disenfranchisement, in no sense did any form of "majority" make him president.

Kinda like how Palworld wasnt randomly chosen to become one of the most popular indie games on Steam and Xbox, but rather people willingly supported a game that they felt appealed to them, eh?
