I would like the 72 other people to spontaneously die to see what would occur.

@n8cwhite That's kinda evil. I support it

@Baronese If the Danish royal family disepeard with them we would have a reborn North sea empire.

@n8cwhite not much probably since England's only a representative monarchy. The royals pretty much don't have any executive power anymore

Can he into British?

I feel like queen Elizabeth would outlive all the line and heir to the throne

@VivaWorld546 Well, she tried ...

I suppose that Harald V is now further down the list, given that the "focus" has effectively moved another generation away from his link (to Edward VII)? The list on Wikipedia has been updated, but stops at the 62nd in line, and starts only with George V, the son of Edward VII ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_to_the_British_throne#Current_line_of_succession

(86th now, according to https://www.britroyals.com/succession.asp .)

Wow, there are Brazilians in the in the line of succession, around the 80.

@Vexillo The Lorentzens in Brazil are the kids of King Harald's sister, princess Ragnhild, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Ragnhild,_Mrs._Lorentzen, who moved to Brazil.
On 91st place is his other sister, princess Astrid, and the Ferners who are listed after her are her kids.

What would happen if he actually did become king of England and the rest of the commonwealth countries?

@PointlessSloth Not much I imagine; all the commonwealth countries share a monarch, so I guess they'd just share with one more country. Though people might be suspicious about 72 royals dying in "accidents". (Not that Harald V would do such a thing ... just that he'd have to be subtle if he did).

@PaxRomana the commonwealth have to each agree to accept a new monarch as their ruler (they're currently having 'secret' talks about what will happen when the Queen dies)

@duskodair Is there a chance some of the Commonwealth Countries will reject Prince Charles Windsor?

@PaxRomana not anymore I don't think. I think they made their minds up.

Who's with me on a "trip", so that the King of Norway can take over the British throne, just for fun? (:

@elinbet This comment reminded me of Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events

@SpikeylovesSatW Heh, what do you mean? *cough* *cough*. It's just a nice little trip... (So are you in on it? If it's too much you can jut look away)

@elinbet I think I'm on... it just reminded me of A Series of Unfortunate Events as, well, you've probably watched it, but if you haven't, here's a summary -
The Baudelaire kids, Violet, Klaus and Sunny, rich parents die in a fire. They are put in care of Count Olaf, a horrible person (and actor) who wants to steal their fortune (because they're so rich and smart), so they are took out of his care, and put in someone else's, but then Count Olaf kills him, and they have to go to back to Count Olaf's again, then the story goes on and on and on...

@SpikeylovesSatW Good, you're in! And thanks for the summary, cuz no, I have not seen it

@elinbet well, after we vote for mayor

@SpikeylovesSatW Of course

@elinbet #9629398
Have you seen Kind Hearts and Coronets ? Sju hertigar in Swedish, Syv små synder in Danish.

@Klaus No, I have not. Is it good??

@elinbet #9648828  
It is very good indeed.

@elinbet "Kind Hearts and Coronets" is a classic of British black comedy from 1949, and shows what British comedy was like before the absurdist revolution wrought by the "Goon Show". It is rated by the British Film Institute as the sixth-best British film ever made. It is the highest-placed comedy in the BFI list of the best British films of the 20th Century. It features Alec Guinness playing nine comic roles.

I don't know whether it's good, but I like it.

@elinbet the 1066 trip didn't work out all that well

"Oh shit, here we go again..."

So we have a claim to the throne of Englend, hmmm time to finish what we started in 1066.
Harald Hardråde time awww yeeee

dam

Of course he is. Every European monarch is probably related, through some shape or form.

What happens if some huge catastrophe wipes out a large portion of the human species, including all people on the list?
I ask because, as a Canadian, I could theoretically inherit England if enough other people in the Commonwealth die.

There is a woman who is in prison for drunk driving, gambling and heroin addiction and she is about 90th in line to the throne! Where did we go wrong....

@Henlaar When we let the other 89 go first apparently.

@OBrien I wonder what the Queen gets up to in her spare time. She could get up to some ccrraazzyy stuff and no one would know, or those who know wouldn't be able to tell people.

This is actually a rather complicated question. The marriage of king Olav may have been invalid under British law. A law requires anyone in line for the throne to have permission from the sovereign to marry. There is an exception for descendants of princesses married to forreign princes. However, another law grants UK citizenship to every descendant of electress Sophia. This means that king Haakon was no forreigner.

Who is the closest female to the throne, that I could marry and see the people ahead of her... leave the list so I become King of the British Island.

@Vexillo You would not become king, only prince consort.

@Klaus You are so naive.

@Vexillo There can only be one leading monarch on Britain. Others are princess and princesses and others stuff.

@Vexillo I think the closest female to the throne (after the Queen) is Princess Charlotte, but seeing as child marriages are somewhat frowned upon (and rightly so), you would have to wait approximately 15 years to marry her, during which time things might change.

the image is so stupid that i could barely focus on the fact

@idunnpil
Jeg tror det er Knud den Store han mener. Af England-konger med navnet Canute har der i hvert fald ikke været andre end ham.
