No but they will never ascend to the throne whereas
photo shows King George, Liz, Charles, William and spouses plus Williams kids as any one of them could/ will be king or Queen if the older one dies before they have kids.
Perhaps you should widen your horizons .

Good to see a few republicans here!
For the uniformed these people are part of our hereditary, head of state.
We get no say in it!
Fortunately, so far none of them have done any meddling in Australian affairs.

How funny would it be if Prince Charles dropped off tomorrow, and the royal lineage passed onto the next in line - King Randy Andy!!

Pretty sure most journo's failed English at high school.

We had a report in an NZ online paper that had a boat "stranded 2km off-shore on the beach".

I know what your saying . Spoke with a young journo and suggested she ring me in a fortnight. She asked what's a fortnight

If Prince Charles pops his clogs whilst Liz is still on the throne, that whole line is gone (wrt to crowns). It goes to the next in line.

Now traditionally that would have been Andrew. I think it may have changed a few years back, so it would be Princess Anne next in line.

Throw this one out to the oldies at a dinner party after theyve had a few drinks - Takes most people a while to cotton on, but then watch them light up!

??? That only applies if Charles had no kids
"Prince Andrew, younger brother of Prince Charles, is currently fourth in the line of succession; the primary line goes through Prince Charles and his descendants, making Charles's oldest son, Prince William, the next in line, should Charles die before Queen Elizabeth.Feb 28, 2017"

Damn you are right Bender! Theyve changed the system on me.

But still put that argument to the olds - They should understand how things use to work & it is bloody funny watching the r?action!

Back to discussing dumb journo's

I just finished reading an article about an electric airplane that has been built by Rolls Royce - it uses a combination of 3 electric motors spin the airscrew.
The single seater has a range of 200 miles @ 300mph, I must admit that it looks pretty slick

However, throughout the article, the journo keeps calling the aircraft a jet

And again - banner headline of "21 NZ churchgoers poisoned"

Turns out to be 21 people attending a Christmas mass in France were affected by carbon monoxide gas, thought to be from a faulty heater, and were taken to hospital for treatment.
No mention of Kiwis anywhere in the article.

[went back later to check locations - and the banner headline was fixed, so someone is awake at MSN!]

Outside of Pilger and an ever diminishing handful of others,
Journalism doesn't exist.
The fact that you even consider acknowledging a "royal" family, screams to me that you spend way too much time stuffing that bent banana of yours into your own republic.
