So Queen Elizabeth II of England, you know her. Did you also know she's married to a certain "Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh"?

So why isn't he the king? Someone explain this royal title business to me plox.

Seconded. This shouldn't even be interesting to British people. The monarchy is being phased out anyways, and even now it's just food for tabloids.

I guess you have a point.

For those who don't know, the Queen's just a figurehead in practical context. The Prime Minister's where it's at. I can't really think of any American analogy.

Either way I still wanna know. Chalk it up to curiosity.

The Queen has the most power in the entire world, but doesn't use it

Looks like /pol/ doesn't include royalty. Oh well.

Phased out? Doesn't look that way from where I'm standing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_succession_to_the_British_Throne

Yes, the line of succession shows that Chuck and his boys are the top three. The next are Lizzie's other boys and their children.
