Following Queen Elizabeth II's death, many are wondering about the royal line of succession. It has left some wondering questions like how possible it is that Prince William will become the British king. The answer is fairly straightforward, but there's a little more to it than you might think. Here's a quick explainer of the next few people in line to take the throne after Queen Elizabeth II: Determining the next in line for the throne means following the rulesPrince Charles, left, became king with the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Chris Jackson/Getty ImagesThere are two ways for a royal to make it to the throne. According to Buckingham Palace, succession to the throne is determined by ancestry and laws put into place by the British government. Parliamentary statutes dictate that succession to the British throne is influenced by the following factors: descent, legitimacy, religion, and sex for anyone born after October 28, 2011. The original law stated that the first-born son would take precedence over other children. The new succession law means that heirs to the throne — both male and female — will be determined by the order in which they are born. This means girls like Princess Charlotte may be considered for the throne in the future. Now that Queen Elizabeth II has died, Prince Charles has taken the throne to become King Charles III. Charles is the Queen's eldest son, which is why he's first in line after her. Prince William will have to wait his turnPrince George follows in line after Prince William. Handout/Getty ImagesPrince William could have become king directly after Queen Elizabeth II only if Charles had died before her, according to Robert Hazell, a professor of government and the constitution at the University College London. If Prince William becomes king, then Kate Middleton will become the queen. The royal couple married April 29, 2011, in an elaborate ceremony in front of 1,900 people at Westminster Abbey. "When William becomes king, Kate will become queen," Hazell said. "There is nothing to prevent William becoming king, other than his own premature death." Next up in line after William? Not Prince Harry. The Duke of Sussex will most likely never see the throne, as he's behind Prince William and Middleton's children, according to the line of succession determined by Buckingham Palace. After William, his eldest son, Prince George, is next in line for the royal throne. "If William were to die before Charles, then on the death of Charles, Prince George would become king," Hazell said. Charlotte and Louis follow George in the line of succession. Only after William and Middleton's children are ineligible to take the throne would Prince Harry be able to become king. This is still true even though he has stepped back from royal life — he is still in the royal line of succession. His first-born son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, is seventh in line to the throne. What number will William be when he's King?However, the primary student is definitely not the first to have wondered which name Prince William could choose when he is on the throne.
