. This is just another false tabloid storyline about the royals.is claiming that Queen Elizabeth II has informed her son and heir-apparent, Prince Charles, that she is changing the line succession. According to what the outlet calls a “royal insider,” the queen spoke to her son just prior to the two attending the opening of the U.K. Parliament together.
If the publication’s source were truly a “royal insider,” as it claims, that insider would certainly understand the laws regarding succession. The queen does not get to pick and choose who follows her as sovereign. There are a number of British laws that determine the heir. The queen, having no constitutional authority, does not have the ability to change those laws on a whim.
Due to an agreement struck when Prince William married Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, the duchess will not become queen, as most wives of kings do. Instead, Middleton will be the next queen when her husband, Prince William, ascends to the throne,Prince Charles. Simply put, Middleton will in fact be the next queen of England, but not because Queen Elizabeth says so – because the law does.
