So very sadly it won't be very many years before the Queen is no longer with us, so what then? Will Charles take the throne or will he pass it onto William?

I think he will abdicate. It would be a fairly short reign and bearing in mind his age he may consider the people deserve a younger more vibrant King. William is in his middle years so not a youngster, and he and Kate are popular and able to fulfil the role with more vigour. I think Charles will take all this into consideration.

Also, how does Camilla feel about being Queen? That may be another consideration.

Let’s be accurate. The Duchy only takes an intestate estate if there are no heirs to claim it - in the same way that elsewhere in the country it goes to the Crown. If an heir turns up they can reclaim the money.

That's quite right. Other parts of the country it goes to Crown which is the state in Cornwall it goes to Duchy ?

Same result though - if an heir turns up they get the money, neither the Crown nor the Duchy keeps it.

I hope to God Camilla never becomes Queen. She’s caused no end of problems for the Royal family and I despise her and Charles for what they did to Diana. I went right off the royal family after Diana died. I think she was treated appallingly and I hope William becomes king and that Charles doesn’t.

Unfortunately, Peaseblossom, people have very short memories and there is so much rewriting of the past.
Diana's death was so convenient and I don't think we will ever get the truth.
In the last thousand years there have been many unexplained incidents.

Why was the death inconvenient ? It was tragic

Convenient for whom? Certainly not for Diana, nor for Dodie who died or for the families concerned.
Regardless of which side of the fence you sit, you’re right about no-one ever getting the truth they want to believe
