Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
The succession of royal family members in the position in which they are the heir to the throne is known as the order of succession. The crown is inherited by a sovereign's offspring or a barren sovereign's closest relative descended from a sibling of an ancestor. The succession to the crown is governed not just by lineage but also through Parliamentary legislation. 

In this One-Time class students will learn about the history of the British Royal Succession and will include the current rules on succession especially concerning the ascension of King Charles III.
