Who is the heir to the British throne?

There are only three heirs apparent at the moment, the line of succession is currently as follows: .Charles (heir apparent)William (heir apparent)George (heir apparent)Charlotte (heir presumptive)Harry (heir presumptive)Charles, William and George are all heirs apparent because their position in the line of succession cannot be displaced or changed by a person with a better claim.However, Charlotte's succession can be displaced when George has children, therefore she is heir presumptive, not heir apparent. Likewise, Harry is currently fifth in line but he can be displaced if William has any more children or when George or Charlotte have children, therefore he is also heir presumptive.

Will Prince William's first born be in line for the titile?

Assuming the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first-born child is male he will be a prince, and will be 3rd in line to the throne, after Prince Charles, the heir apparant, and Prince William, the heir presumptive. However, under the proposed changes to the Act of Succession agreed last October at a Commonwealth Summit in Perth, Australia, but which have still to be ratified by allthe 16 nations of which the Monarch is Head of State, the primogeniture principle will in future decide the future monarch. Thus, if William and Catherine produce a daughter first, she will be heir presumptive, even if their subsequent offspring are male.

Will Prince William succeed Queen Elizabeth II?

There's a chance he might do so directly. Prince William is second in line to the throne, after his father, Prince Charles. When Queen Elizabeth II passes on the crown, by death or voluntary act, one of the following will happen. 1 - Prince Charles takes the throne as King Charles III. Prince William is therefore the heir apparant, the next in line. Barring his own death or other exceptional circumstances, he will eventually become King. 2 - Prince Charles refuses the crown, allowing William to directly succeed from Queen Elizabeth II.
