Who’s next in line to the throne, where does Prince Harry come in the Royal Family tree and will Prince Charles be king?
QUEEN Elizabeth's record-breaking reign as British monarch means more than 65 years have passed since the last royal succession. Prince Charles is next in line to the throne, but how does the rest of the royal lineage and Prince Louis line up? Here is the lowdown... Who will become King after Queen Elizabeth? The throne will pass to Prince Charles if the Queen abdicates, retires or dies – and according to reports, abdication could be a real possibility.

The prince let Peter Ball rent a Duchy of Cornwall home following an early caution for gross indecency against a 16-year-old trainee monk, and is said to have sent letters of support to him while he was under investigation. So close was the disgraced former Bishop of Gloucester to Charles that they prayed together in Highgrove and he was a guest at the prince’s wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005. Now an independent inquiry is examining whether Ball, 86, exploited his powerful friends — and if this was at the heart of a cover-up that allowed him to evade justice for so long. His first arrest was in 1992 but it took another 23 years before his victims were taken seriously. Aides of Charles said this week that the royal … [Read more...] about Prince Charles, paedo bishop Peter Ball… and claims of a cover-up — but did he exploit Royal friendship?
