The Queen is 90 this year, gawd bless her soul

If he abdicates, he abdicates for his line, so the crown would pass to Andrew or his offspring.

Really? I always assumed it went to next in line of succession rather than eliminating all of his progeny (best word I'll use today).

Interesting.

So if the Queen abdicates, who is in the frame ?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Is it Jennie Bond?

when Edward 8th abdicated they drew up an act of parliament to specify the abdication and the rules of it, as there is no other precednce or legal method to do so (our Monarch is there by act of parliament). Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 stipluated his line would have no claim to the throne. this wouldnt need to be included if Elizabeth II or Charles abdicated.

So would that Act be repealed or was it just a one off?

that would be a one off, there's been no other abdications.

It seems strange that the Duke of Windsor had to have that put in, when he had no offspring anyway.
