What would happen if the king has no child in England?

There exists a line of succession, of almost 2400 people eligible for the British throne. The order of succession can shuffle around due to the rule of primogeniture - one person's children rank higher on the list than that person's own siblings. As an example, Prince Charles is heir to the throne, as the monarch's eldest male child. His own children, male or female (though he only has two sons) come above his brother, Prince Andrew. So what does that mean. If the monarch has no children, then his male siblings (from eldest to youngest) will be next in line, then his female siblings. If he himself is an only child, then you have to travel further back along the family line. If the monarch's parents has siblings, then any of their offspring may be eligible, etc.


Why won't queen elizabeth give up the throne?

Her Majesty is still perfectly capable of carrying out her duties and is not obliged to give up her throne. She would probably also consider it a grave dereliction of her duty to the nation. the only abdication to have occurred in recent times was that of Edward VIII in 1936. He chose to abdicate in order to be able to marry Mrs Wallis Simpson. At the time, because she was divorced, such a marriage was considered socially unacceptable, especially for the King, as leading citizen. It was also considered highly shameful that the King would give up the throne in order to be with her.
