   Hello Ward!

   Yes.. technically, he becomes the next ruler 'immediately'     
   after the death of the queen.   
      
   But it takes a little while for everyone to update their     
   allegiances "ie. bowing for the [updated] royals" and the re-    
   swearing of the allegiances to the king instead of the queen     
   now, etc.

   Yeah.. and what gives them the right to maintain this     
   pretentious position?   
      
   Today, they serve little more than being a tourist attaction,     
   really.   
      
   The queen never expressed options on politics nor tried to     
   influence things.  Her goal was to maintain the hereditary     
   status quo and live a peaceful yet privileged life.

   May she likes really old men like you. :D
