How to become the British Monarch Historically,you can get the crown beacuse you have the biggist army,and when you died you eldest son kept control that army so the crown relocated to his head,of course someone who have a bigger army can change the political landscape abruptly.As time go on and the world grew lsss violent.And in 1701 the British parliament pass a set of ruls,to transfer the crown from one head to another,hopefully less turmoil that before.So here is how the ruls work: 1. Don’t be a Catholic. Beacuse the British Monarch is also the head of the Church of England,so it means the monarch must convert his belief to the Christian.Expt if you are the Catholic,no crown for you.And by the way,no you can’t cleverly get around this rule,by converting the Catholicism to something else and than to the Church of England. 2.Don’t be a bastard It’s relly good to be a king,but it’s never good to be a Illegitimate children of the king,who are out of line for the crown,literally from the moment of their conception,and if you are the child of the Monarch,but are either a Catholic or a bastard or both,so you are ‘Naturally dead’No crown for you, 3.Spouses don’t count While a lot of people think of Kings and Queens as a pair,that’s not the way it works here,thay may be called’prince’or’queen’but as far as the crown is concerned,there not the line for consider.Thay’are just the matching the DNA to creation of te real heir. 4.(and finally):Male Primogeniture • When the Monarch dies,the crown will goes to the eldest son who isn’t’naturally dead’,if the King have a elder daughter,tough luck to her,she’s baby brother get the crown.This ruls is Simple enough,but there are some non-obvious cases,if the King have two sons and if the eldest dies before the King does,so the crown goes to the now eldest brother.But what if the eldest son gave the king a grandson before death,where does the crown go then?Well,the crown basically pretends that except’Naturally dead’ are all alive,so upon the death of the king the crown goes to his eldest son,so now the eldest son beacome king,who just relly happen to be dead,so the rule kicks in again,and the crown goes to his son,not as seems obvious now,his brother.But if this 1701 rule means the eldest son get the crown,how did the queens ever comes to be?Daughters were the last choice of the crown.which is why there have been so few.To get the crown,a daughter had to be either the only child of the monarch,or the eldest child to win the crown.
