He's to ugly to be King.

What do the rules of succession say? Can the crown skip a generation while kids are alive? Or does he formally have to be a 15 min king?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Eventually the truth will come out, that Charles is actually a giant rodent dressed as a man.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Bertie became Edward VII.  Why wouldn't Charles become the king (unless he predeceases his mother)?  He'd have to renounce the throne, and I don't think there is any reason to believe that he would.  He'd have a short reign, in all probability, but that wouldn't be a first.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Well no, he'd be the third.

Will the UK have to redesign and turn in all their currency?  :P

All the QCs become KCs too.

I think she's got another 20 years or so and then we'll get Charles :)

Ah. Yeah that's probably overegging it. But she's pretty well-preserved for near enough 90 and her mum lasted till 101 (though she was pickled in gin).

No - his horse of a wife is too ugly to become queen.

I guess we will have 10 more years of QEII an then a few years from Charles before William takes over.

The currency keeps on circulating but new coins will have the new monarch on them. Prior to decimalisation in 1971 there were coins from several reigns in circulation, with late Victorian coins being very common.
