Indeed, succession is an automatic process. Once The Queen draws her last breath, Charles automatically ascends the throne. It's the debate after that has happened that should scare the monarchy. I don't think the monarchy will be abolished within the next 5 years, but long-term it'll definitely crumble in more ways than one. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
