Here's a sample from the site about succession:
"When a monarch dies, or abdicates, a successor is immediately decided according to rules which were laid down at the end of the seventeenth century.

These guidelines, and the current order of succession in the Royal Family, are explained in this section.

The family name of the House of Windsor dates back to 1917, when King George V decided to adopt it. This section also contains information about Royal surnames - whether members of the Royal Family have one, and, if so, what it is.

Most members of the Royal Family, however, are known by formal titles which date back centuries - for example, The Prince of Wales and The Princess Royal. Read about the history of Royal titles in this section."
"The succession to the throne is regulated not only through descent, but also by Parliamentary statute.
The order of succession is the sequence of members of the Royal Family in the order in which they stand in line to the throne.

The basis for the succession was determined in the constitutional developments of the seventeenth century, which culminated in the Bill of Rights (1689) and the Act of Settlement (1701).

When James II fled the country in 1688, Parliament held that he had 'abdicated the government' and that the throne was vacant. The throne was then offered, not to James's young son, but to his daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange, as joint rulers.

It therefore came to be established not only that the Sovereign rules through Parliament, but that the succession to the throne can be regulated by Parliament, and that a Sovereign can be deprived of his title through misgovernment.

The succession to the throne is regulated not only through descent, but also by statute; the Act of Settlement confirmed that it was for Parliament to determine the title to the throne.

The Act laid down that only Protestant descendants of Princess Sophia - the Electress of Hanover and granddaughter of James I - are eligible to succeed. Subsequent Acts have confirmed this.

Parliament, under the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement, also laid down various conditions which the Sovereign must meet. A Roman Catholic is specifically excluded from succession to the throne; nor may the Sovereign marry a Roman Catholic.

The Sovereign must, in addition, be in communion with the Church of England and must swear to preserve the established Church of England and the established Church of Scotland. The Sovereign must also promise to uphold the Protestant succession."

Answer 2

The way royalty works varies from country to country. In the United Kingdom (NB not England, which is merely a constituent part of the UK, which actually holds less politcal power per capita than the other 3 constituents) and the other commonwealth realms is as follows:

On the death or abdication of a monarch (currently the Queen), the monarch's eldest son will become the new monarch. If there is no son, then the monarch's eldest daughter would become the new queen. If the daughter is eldest but there is a younger son, the son still become king over his elder sister.

If the next in line to the throne has died already it would pass onto their children in a similar manner.

If the monarch has no children it will pass to the monarch's next eldest brother. If the brother has died already then the crown will pass to his child in the same way as it would a monarch's child. If there is no brother at all it will pass to the eldest sister and her children in the same manner as above.

After that it will go to the monarch's closest living relative with males getting priority over women, and age getting priority over the young in each sibling group.

If the monarch is a king then his wife is called queen consort. If the monarch is a Queen, then her husband is prince consort (not king because king is historically a greater title than queen). The monarch's siblings will become princes and princesses as will the monarchs children. The wives of the monarch's brothers and sons will also become princesses (usually - duchess of cornwall is a case to the contrary). And grandchildren in the male line will also become princes and princesses (Lady Louise of Wessex is an exception to this rule).

Queen Doweger is the title of a previous queen consort. Queen Mother is a queen doweger who is also the mother of the current monarch (if the monarch is a king the title is still Queen Mother).

Someone cannot lose the title of prince or princess if they were born with the title. So, for example, even once the throne has passed onto a new generation the old monarch's siblings would retain their titles.

Prince Charles is due to be the next monarch of the UK, and will therefore be the next king. A list of the next 10 or so in line to the throne our below:
1) Prince Charles (Queen's 1st child of 4)
2) Prince William (Prince Charles' 1st child of 2)
3) Prince Harry (Prince Charles' 2nd child of 2)
4) Prince Andrew (Queen's 3rd child of 4)
5) Princess Beatrice (Prince Andrew's 1st child of 2)
6) Princess Eugenie (Prince Andrew's 2nd child of 2)
7) Prince Edward (Queen's 4th child of 4)
8) Lady Louise of Wessex (Prince Edwards only child)
9) Princess Anne (Queen's 2nd child of 4)
10) Peter Phillips (Princess Anne's 1st child of 2)
11) Zara Phillips (Princess Anne's 2nd child of 2)
12) Earl of Snowdon (Queen's late sister's 1st child of 2)

One requirement of the monarch is that they cannot be Roman Catholic and must not be married to a Roman Catholic. They also must be legitimate at the time of their birth (ie parent's remarrying later does not change this).

For the above to change all 15 commonwealth realms would have to agree to it and pass all necessary laws.

Answer 3

The current Queen has four children. Her eldest, Charles will be king should she die tomorrow. When Charles dies, or if he dies before the Queen, the next king will be William. The current line of succession is Charles, William, Harry, Andrew, Beatrice, Eugenie, Edward, Edward's kid (I can't remember the name), Anne, Peter Phillips, Zara Phillips. That will all change as new children arrive. Any children William has will come beore Harry on the list with boys taking precedence over girls.
