“The Line of Succession to the British Throne: Who Will be the Next King?”

This is because under the rules of succession to the British throne, the first son of the reigning monarch has preference, regardless of gender. Of course, this is relatively new, since it was not made official until 2015, since previously the rule gave preference to men regardless of birth order, for which reason Princess Anne is not before her brothers in the current line of succession Andrés or Eduardo, despite being older than them.

While in the case of Queen Elizabeth II (and other queens before her) she became the reigning monarch, after her uncle Edward resigned and thus her father, George VI had to rise to power. However, Jorge only had two daughters: Isabel and MargaritaElizabeth being the eldest therefore became the next to aspire to the throne and began to prepare to eventually take office.
