Just thought I'd add that for no real reason at all. I was pretty surprised to learn of it. Turns out, he has no interest in being king.

Possession is 9/10th of the law.
There is also a persistent rumour about who sired of Queen Victoria. The sudden appearance of haemophilia in the British royal family adds weight to the speculation. Queen Victoria was a carrier. Eg the czarevich inherited haemophilia from his mother Alexandria,who was Victoria's daughter.
Under English common law,a child is always presumed to be the offspring of the legal husband.This law is crucial under primo genitor, still used in royal/aristocratic succession. IE the heir to the throne (or title) is the first born legitimate male child. In a monarchy, a daughter can inherit if there are no male offspring. However, a female CANNOT inherit any other title. If there is no male offspring and no male relative, a title dies out.This is common.
