Prince Charles becomes longest-serving heir apparent
Former editor of the Daily Telegraph Sir Max Hastings suggested that Prince William could succeed to the the throne ahead of his father.

"Would it be in everybody's interest, including those of the Prince of Wales, for a new, young, next generation, Prince William to succeed to the throne?"

Constantine, who will be a guest at the royal wedding, described William as "straightforward, honest, hardworking and never losing his sense of humour".

But he said of the line of succession: "It works from father to son or mother to son and that's how it goes. They have to wait their turn... that's how it should be because we are not politicians."

How do I edit this?
I'm afraid I rather think this idea is philosophically incoherent. If you believe the monarch rules by divinely appointed hereditary authority 'Leapfrogging' Charles would be unthinkable. If you believe we need the best head of state for the job, why would you go to William rather than a democratically, or government appointed figure?

I see where Connie is coming from, the monarchy is full of quirky behaviour. ie maunday money, knights, investitures, the queen granting 'royal permission' to william and kate, the rules of succession are just another of their medieval practises. so either abandon none or all of them.......
