King George VI reigned before Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Charles will be the next King either when the Queen abdicates, or she dies. It would appear that some people do not know the meaning of predecessor!

The Queen's predecessor was her father, George VI. She is the predecessor of her son. He will succeed unless the Queen outlives him, in which case Prince William will be King.

Her father, known as King George was her predecessor. He ascended to the throne when his brother suddenly abdicated to marry an American divorcee'. She never expected to inherit the throne as a child - her elder uncle was the heir apparent. But he gave it up for love. Now, she would have to abdicate in favor of Charles, but since he's got two boys there is still little chance that the ascension will go from his family.

" I dont think Camilla will be Queen when Prince Charles becomes King because she is the 2nd wife "
Twaddle! Henry VIII had six wives and they were all Queens. When the Queen dies, Charles will be King, it's as simple as that. When he is crowned, Camilla will be crowned Queen. She has to be - the UK does not recognise morganatic marriages. The only organisation that can change the succession is Parliament and I doubt they will attempt to do it.
