That would be pretty hot if the queen skipped over Charles and gave the crown to William.

Perhaps sometime after their first child is born in about nine months?

An act of Parliament governs the succession since 1701. The Queen has no say. Since the Stature of Westminster in 1931 made all the Commonwealth Dominions equal to the United Kingdom, that means to change the succession all the 16 countries of which Queen Elizabeth II is head of state have to agree in order to change the succession.

16 prime ministers, 16 cabinets, 16 parliaments. Imagine the potential political food fight.
