I heard a long itme ago that everybody in england has a number that puts them in line for the throne? Or do they stop counting the succession at a certain number?

Nope - one of the requirements to be King/Queen is that one be a Protestant descendent of Electress Sophia of Hanover, the mother of King George I. While that still probably includes several thousand people, it doesn't even come close to to including the entire population of England.
The link below shows the first thousand or so people in line to the throne. You'll note that many are not even British, due to the intermarrying between European noble families that took place for so long.

Well I don't know if everyone is but let's just say that there's over 1,000 people in line. Check wikipedia and some of those people are actually monarchs of other countries. Did you know in England Prince Carl Phillip of Sweden is in line before his older sister Princess Victoria but in their homeland of Sweden, she's actually next in line to the current king her father. He's 184'th, Carl is 185'th, etc

"Prince Charles stepped down and next in line at the same time as he married Camila by truth a destiny king or queen can now no longer marry someone who has been divorced. " Absolute twaddle. What tabloids have you ever been reading? there is now no longer some thing interior the British structure to save remote from a king marrying a divorcee. a obtainable monarch, regardless of if, would favor to have the approval of Parliament to marry. contained in words of Edward VIII, Parliament refused permission. they did now no longer with Charles and Camilla. in spite of everything as both Charles and Camilla's former spouses are useless it really is now no longer acceptable to any extent further.

I know that there is a group trying to find the REAL king of England. They are asking for anyone of British Descent to send in DOCUMENTED proof (geneology records) that they are descended from one of the Royal lines, so in that theory, someone here in America could actually be the REAL king (or Queen) of England.
Of course, it would not mean that you could march in and take control of Buckingham Palace, but it is interesting.

No, it stops after a certain number. Those in line are usually nobility and rich.
However, if all the people in line die magically and some other people, then they will have to choose another royal family.

Honestly, no. You have to be part of a noble household in order to ascend to the throne. Bastard children (it's a term, sorry) do not count. They have to come from a legitmate marriage or be recognized by the monarchy.

Science has proved that all of us are descended from some royalty. Those kings sowed seeds wherever they went!
