Harry is still fifth in line to the throne. His father is king, his brother, Prince William is first in line and William’s children – Prince George, Prince Charlotte and Prince Louis – are second, third and fourth in line, respectively.
Because Prince George would still be a minor if he became King as a child, a Regent would be appointed until he becomes an adult according to the Regency Act 1937. The Regency Act was created to make provision for what would happen in the event either that the monarch is under the age of 18 or if the monarch becomes incapacitated through illness.
Dr Jarvis insisted Princess Anne. She told Jeremy Vine that Princess Anne could well be promoted to the position of Regent in the event somewhere were to happen to the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge. Dr Jarvis added that for Princess Royal to move up the pecking order, non-working members of the Royal Family like Prince Harry and Prince Andrew would need to removed from the line of succession.
(I think….Non working would quickly be off the list. I also think Anne would be an excellent idea. She is very much her mother in regards to protocol)
Anne is a TREASURE; that’s for certain!
Not quite right. Regency Act says Harry would be Regent then Andrew etc. Anything different would have to be voted on. They technically would not be removed from succession line. So let’s say anne is voted to be Regent. Williams entire line dies In a plane crash. Anne does not become Queen. HARRY BECOMES KING.
at least that is the way I read that 16 page document
The self proclaimed expert on the thread that said Catherine automatically is regent is wrong. William cant wave his hand and make Catherine or even anne automatic Regent
