In the line of succession her son Prince Charles, her grandson Prince William and her great-grandson Prince George are expected to follow her. Now some royal experts are predicting there may come a day when that expected progression fails to materialize.
Will George Be King?
Royal watcher Daniela Elser claims that with the monarchy’s low level of popularity among the youth, George may never make it to the throne.
The low opinion is perhaps influenced by sadness and scandal. In the last year patriarch Prince Philip died, Prince Harry launched bizarre allegations toward his family, and Prince Andrew is the accused in a sexual abuse lawsuit. A YouGov poll from April shows 63 percent of Britons believe the UK should continue to have a monarchy and only 34 percent of those aged 18 to 24 want a continuation.
What Happens Next In The Monarchy?

Elser wrote in the New Zealand Herald, “An institution tattered and beleaguered after having barely scraped through generations of scandal and crisis? A public whose benign acquiescence to the notion of a monarchy has worn painfully thin? And a clutch of Windsors with little desire to sacrifice their lives for the good of a throne no one particularly wants?”
“The picture is not pretty.”
The Windsor Clan Is Full Of Woe
She went on to say that despite their woes, the clan are, “survivors through and through, and possess some sort of canny instinct in their DNA that has seen them hang on to power,” but she ws careful to point out, “how many times can they pull off that particular rabbit-out-of-the-hat-trick.”
The question is particularly germane when much of the destructive firepower is coming from within, as in the case of Prince Harry publicly dragging his kin.

“Unquestionably, a lot is going to change in the coming years as the Queen’s reign ends and that of Charles begins. When that mournful day comes, we might not be only saying goodbye to a truly iconic figure but farewelling the last and final Queen of the UK.”
Is Elser correct when she opines, “It will be up to her son, grandson and great-grandson what comes next; they will be fighting for nothing short of survival?
