I just read an article about the Queen being worried about Prince William flying his entire family around in a helicopter. Who would be next in line if something happened to the family? Is it Andrew or is Harry still able to ascend the throne? I know Harry gave up his titles and royal duties. Many commenters in the article stated that Harry is next in line after William's family. Is that right?

I am not wishing harm on anyone but wouldn’t it be a hoot to have Harry end up as King? The heads of all Englishmen would absolutely explode! Meghan would be living in Buckingham palace, riding in the gilded coach, presiding over the Chelsea Flower Show!

Are you forgetting Charles - he's next in line, and he could easily rule for 20+ years.
By the time he dies, it's likely they would have sorted out the issue with Harry, if he's living full time in the USA and has not not been a working Royal in all that time, then I think it's very likely there'll be something in place to make him ineligible.
If it were to really come down to Harry or Andrew then I think there'd be a quickly organized referendum and that would be the end of the Royal family. No-one would want either of those two in any sort of official capacity.
Or Harry would just abdicate. He thinks Royal duties are below him now, he's not going to suddenly want to be King....no matter how hard his wife pushes.

From what I understand once George is 12 he won’t be allowed to travel with his dad.

Thank you! I knew what the line of succession was, I was just wondering if Harry was still eligible. I thought he took himself out of the lineup by giving up his royal duties.

Where’s Dottyscrapper when you need her…she’s more knowledgeable than I am on this stuff.
Harry might have removed himself from public life but he’s still in the line of succession should all the others meet an unexpected fate! I guess he could abdicate but then his children are next in line.
Let’s face it, anyone except Andrew would be acceptable!!

Let’s face it, anyone except Andrew would be acceptable!! Harry is every bit as unacceptable as Andrew, just for different reasons. |

I don't think Harry would ever be crowned King of England. As unpopular as he is, I think the monarchy would be abolished. Newsweek recently reported that 40% of the British population between the ages of 18-40 are in favor of abolishing the monarchy. I think that number would rise dramatically if Harry became 2nd in line to ascend to the throne. Newsweek |

Master Lucas Tindall Jeez, I didn't realize that Beatrice and Eugenie ( or their children!) were in line, as well as Edward's children (I thought they didn't have titles and that meant they weren't in line), and Princess Anne's children - I know she didn't give them titles either! I also thought Eugenie was the older of the two sisters. |
