What are the names of all British monarchs and who is the next in line to the throne?
The Monarchy is the oldest institution of government in the United Kingdom. Until 1603 the English and Scottish Crowns were separate; after this date one monarch reigned in the United Kingdom. A history of the Monarchy, as well as a list of the kings and queens of England, Scotland and the rest of the UK since 802, is available of the official website of the British Monarchy: history section. HRH The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, is next in line to the throne. When a sovereign dies, or abdicates, a successor is immediately decided according to rules which were laid down at the end of the 17th century. The coronation of a new sovereign is a ceremony of great pageantry and celebration that has remained essentially the same for over a thousand years.
