Game Of Crowns: Elizabeth, Camilla, Kate, And The Throne - Plot & Excerpts
The last time this occurred was during the reign of Queen Victoria, when Edward VII, George V, and brothers Edward VIII and George VI were all waiting in line to wear the crown. Charles was still waiting. At sixty-seven, he was already three years older than the oldest person ever to assume the throne—William IV, who succeeded George IV in 1830. On September 9, 2015, the Queen surpassed Victoria’s reign of 63 years, 216 days, becoming the longest-reigning British monarch in history. The distinction, she said with a sly smile, was “not one to which I have ever aspired.” Yet there was a good chance she would reign longer still. Much, much longer. Her mother lived to be 101, and she was active and alert almost to the very last day of her life. At ninety, the Queen could live another decade or more. Were she to live as long as the Queen Mother, Charles would become king at seventy-eight, and Camilla his Queen at seventy-nine. If Charles, in turn, lived to be as old as Prince Philip, William and Kate would both be well past sixty by the time William assumed the throne.
