    Today the Queen doesn’t have any real legal power. The Royals are largely just a ceremonial in which many English people like to preserve.

    At age 60, Prince Charles is one of the oldest Prince of Wales in royal history. It would probably be best to skipped him in the line of succession and pass it to Prince William in case the Queen passes away.
