Royalty 101: The Rules of Succession

How is the next monarch decided? How many people are in the line of succession and what can they do to get themselves booted? Can LGBT+ royals get married and can adopted children be a part of the succession? Will Prince Harry be regent if George becomes King before he’s an adult? Will Kate Middleton be a Queen? What’s the difference between a Queen Regnant, Queen Consort, Dowager Queen and Queen Mother? Why is Princess Anne in the line of succession after her younger brothers? Why is Queen Elizabeth’s husband is called Prince Philip and not King Philip? I answer your questions about the royal line of succession.
