    In order, who are the heirs to the throne of England if Queen Elizabeth II dies? Also, can a queen be impeached?

    Question #37830. Asked by greg9570. (Aug 22 03 3:13 PM)

    		The queen is above the law so cannot be impeached and how far back do you want a list of heirs, 1. Charles, 2. William, 3. Harry, 4. Charles' brothers and their children in order of birth.

    		If you want to go further than Elizabethmc, then Whitaker's Almanack gives you a list of the first 40 or so. I'm sure there are websites that go much further.

    As for the second part of the question, the common law of England is that the Queen can do no wrong, and cannot therefore be subjected to any form of trial by her subjects. Of course, the Scots or the Northern Irish might be able to come up with something if they really wanted to.

    When Victoria became Queen of England she had an uncle that was passed over for the throne. If Elizabeth II and Charles, his sons and Andrew would be killed, then Andrew's daughter would be Queen, passing over Anne. Why is it that the British throne passes over the first generation females but not the second?

    In history many monarchs have been known as King and Queen. I can understand that because Queen Elizabeth II was an heir to the throne that her husband would be known as Prince and not a King, but what would happen if it was reversed and a male was the King, would his wife be called Queen or Princess?

    Was Lady Jane Gray the Queen of England for nine days because she was waiting for Victoria to take over the throne, or Elizabeth?
