if all the royal familiy died...randomly....who would take on the role of queen/king?

Answer 1

I think there are only two requirements to be British royalty:

1. Must be in-bred
2. Must know how to wave

Answer 2

Royal families marry each other for this reason, for example prince philip is German. Lord's and ladies Earles, Duke and Duchess' can take on the role of the royal family. Each member of the aristocracy has an entitlement to the throne, there is however a numbered allotment some families are high in the list, some families are low on the list, It depends upon how long the family has been around and at which point the marries a member of the royal family back in the day.

Answer 3

Sovereign (Liz)
1. The Prince of Wales
2. Prince William of Wales
3. Prince Henry of Wales
4. The Duke of York
5. Princess Beatrice of York
6. Princess Eugenie of York
7. The Earl of Wessex
8. The Lady Louise Windsor
9. The Princess Royal
10. Mr. Peter Phillips
11. Miss Zara Phillips
12. Viscount Linley
13. The Hon. Charles Armstrong-Jones
14. The Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones
15. The Lady Sarah Chatto
16. Master Samuel Chatto
17. Master Arthur Chatto
18. The Duke of Gloucester
19. Earl of Ulster
20. The Lady Davina Windsor
21. The Lady Rose Windsor
22. The Duke of Kent
23. The Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor
24. The Lady Amelia Windsor
25. The Lady Helen Taylor
26. Master Columbus Taylor
27. Master Cassius Taylor
28. Miss Eloise Taylor
29. Miss Estella Taylor
30. The Lord Frederick Windsor
31. The Lady Gabriella Windsor
32. Princess Alexandra, the Hon. Lady Ogilvy

34. Master Alexander Ogilvy
35. Miss Flora Ogilvy
36. Mrs. Paul Mowatt
37. Master Christian Mowatt

So you gott get rid of 40 people just for starters and thats just the direct line. After this lot, all their relatives, plus a lot of heridatory peers and then as said you could go back Victoria for german relatives.

However if you got rid of all of them, it's not been uncommon to vote a new King in, Sweden's royal family are descended from a French General who their Council of State chose to be their King.

Charles XIV, 1763–1844, king of Sweden and Norway (1818–44)

Answer 4

It depends how many of them die! There is a very long line of possible succession going to cousins and second cousins if need be.

In some other countries where the royal family has died out, or a monarchy has been introduced without a royal family, then they have adopted someone to start or continue the royal line. For example the Belgium monarchy started from a German prince; the Greek royal family from a Danish prince; and the Swedish royal family, which was on the point of dying out, adopted one of Napoleon's generals to continue their line.

But the British royal family is very well-connected to lots of other royal families and British noble families, so I cannot imagine the circumstances in which they would run out of heirs.

Answer 5

There are many members of the Royal Family , so there will always be a successor to the Throne , but if they did run out they will probably ask you , in view of the "Wisdom" of your Question

Answer 6

A centuries old family friend (apparently) will take over the throne. That is what usually happens in every aspect of life, whether it's the social aspcet or the political scenario.

Answer 7

Mr Reginald Dwight - the world's finest queen/king

Answer 8

There is an incredibly long line of people who are in line to the throne and whoever is next in line, even if they are 200th or 4000th would be king/queen.

Answer 9

You would have to take out all the royal families of Europe as well because they are all inter related.

Answer 10

There's some obscure royal out there who could assume the mantle of glory

Answer 11

Parliament would probably find some bloodline to continue or establish a 'royal' line.
