They did change the rules to where males are not given preference over females for the throne anymore. Used to be, an older sister was passed over for her younger brother. But now the eldest child, regardless of sex, is next in line for the throne. Not that it will matter for a long time, as the next three in line for the throne happen to be male. But my point is, they changed that rule, so why can’t they change the one saying they can’t skip over Charles?

I wistfully wish they WOULD skip over Charles.....but, on the other hand, in actuality, I wouldn't want to see this happen as it could cause great infighting and divisions within future royal families, within future Parliaments and within the body of their far-flung Empire subjects itself...plus socio/political problems you couldn't imagine.

Camilla and Kate wouldn't be the only ones feuding and fighting over their respective choices and champions, LOL. Things could get very ugly.

Since the present Parliament is very much aware of the negative aspects of the idea of skipping-over legitimate heirs to the throne, they will never change this part of the succession protocols.

I applauded the male/female succession change, however....and the Brits accepted it very favorably....except, of course for the resident labourites, socialists, marxists and commies who are ALWAYS conspiring among themselves to bring down forever the noble, historic and fun-to-watch House of Windsor.
