Jenny is referring to Prince Leonard of Hutt, who is the ruler of Hutt River Province. As she says, he has seceded from Australia, and set up his farm as a principality, and he's the only person I know of who was born without any royal blood, and now has a legitimate claim to be royalty. BUT he is not a king, and part of the legal trickery by which he set up his Province is that he has to remain loyal to the Queen of England.
To answer the original question, even in the old days, dynasties did not change that often. When they did, it was almost never the case that an existing king was replaced by someone who was previously a complete nobody. They were usually overthrown by someone who was already a noble, or who was already a king of someplace else. For instance, William the Conqueror was already Duke of Normandy before he became King of England.

That was fine when the country was ruled by the King/Queen and we had an absolute monarchy, however, we know have a constitutional monarchy and since the line of succession is so long you'd have to kill an awful lot of people before you could proclaim yourself King. You'd also need to convince Parliament that you should King, you'd also need to provide evidence that you are descended from Sophia, Electress of Hanover as only her descendants can become the Monarch according to the Law,

Actually ... there is a man in Western Australia who suceeded from Australia and declared himself either a King or Prince... he's from somewhere like Rainbow River ( not the name but something sounding like that) ...
Now he's legally sovereign over his land ( a farm thing) but I can't remember the techicallities of it all ,
Maybe this will jog another person's memory

First of all, it helps if you're related to another king. Be like Henry VII of England and grab your cousin's throne and cut the heads off of anyone who raises a fuss.

Get some gold cardboard paper and make yourself a pointy hat and wear it telling people you're king. If you don't get taken to the loony bin someone might believe you.

Sure you can.
Go make a revolution somewhere and proclaim yourself king - for whatever good it may do you.
Boukassa did it in what he renamed the "Central African Empire"...

It used to be you over throw a government and kill all of the leaders and their family members. Instant, kingship. GL

simple, first blackmale the local clergy, marry your sister, kill any pesky rivals, and dress like a figure skater. That should just about do it.
