The Royal website says that the “order of succession is the sequence of members of the Royal Family in the order in which they stand in line to the throne.
“The succession to the throne is regulated not only through descent, but also by Parliamentary statute.”
After the death of Queen Elizabeth II at 96, her son - King Charles III - was crowned at age 74 along with his wife Camilla. This makes him 48 years older than his mother was when he took the throne, thus he’s the oldest new monarch in British history.
Now that we are firmly in the Carolean age, here is the order of succession for the British throne.

Mia Grace Tindall is the daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall. Her grandfather, Captain Mark Phillips, is not a member of the royal family and he declined the offer of an earldom, thus Mia is not known as a princess. Photo: Chris Jackson
