Theoretically the succession is to go to the nearest Protestant heir. However, there is a precedent in which the heir can be designated in a will.

Charles and Camilla are registerad at Bed Bath and waaay BEYOND..
If the Queen disapproved (or approved with conditions regarding succession to the throane) would she take the drastic step of passing over Charles in her will?
I ask because the Duke & Duchess of Windsor come to mind. It's been how many years ago? And from what I understand, he's still persona non grata.
And one more question whle I am at it LOL!!
Does the everyday, workaday Brit care? Serious question. Do you look to the throne for "leadership" (although not political) or do they hold just a sentimental spot in your hearts?
Just a curious Yank, I am.
Would that be Edward VI? Wasn't he talked into designating his cousin Lady Jane Gray as his successor while on his deathbed?
