Hopefully we will have got rid of the royal family by then and become a republic.

The law of succession in the monarchy has it that the eldest son succeeds to the throne. So after Charles, then it is William, and then either Williams own son or then Harry and his sons.
If charles and camila have kids, it would take quite a big deal to change the law or for charles to take matters futher by questioning the legitimacy of both William and Harry - and if Charles did that, he would be a very unpopular king. This isnt altogether a stupid idea - after all prince harry does have a question mark over his legitimacy because of Princess Diana's affair with that Captain back in the early 90's.
Charles would have to raise questions about the legitimacy of his own sons to have any legal ground to stand on - but this would then raise questions about his own ability to have children and his own past. Charles ability to become king and retain public confidence would be called into question.
If Charles ever did that, he might still become king of Great Britain - but i dont think the commonwealth countries as Australia, NZ, Canada would stand for a King that had no morality.

The answer is definitely no. Even if it were physically possible - which it isn't for as others have said the Duchess of Cornwall is well beyond child-bearing age and has had a hysterectomy - a male child of the union would still be 4th in line of succession after Charles, William and Harry. The impossible hypothetical child would only be 1st in line if those three predeceased the Queen.

It would be possible but William and Harry would inherit the throne first and then the offspring would inherit next. But seeing as how Camilla is reported to have had a hysterectomy it's not likely that they will have any further offspring.

Only after Charles, William and Harry. Camilla is way past the child bearing age.

Camilla had a hysterectomy last year so there's nowhere for babies to go. Charles' first born son (i.e. William) will be king. If he dies or abdicates, then it goes to Harry and then they panic and start looking for cousins...

When Charles is King, would that make Camilla, Queen, dynamite with a laser beam?

Moot point. Camilla's reproductive system is long since closed for business. William and Harry are safe and secure right where they are.

Good question. I'm not sure, but will make a guess.
Only if Charles and his two sons, all three, died before Queen Elizabeth II.

Not unless Wills and Harry die. Anyway, Camilla's waaay to old and I'm pretty sure she had a hysterectomy.

Well it's not possible because camilla is an old hag and unable to have children at her age.
