How does the Royal thing work?

[*crikey*mate*]

If George had have been a Georgina, being the first born, would she have gotten to be Queen one day, even if she got a younger brother, or would the female be bypassed in favour of the male?

Whoops, maybe not.
from here http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_the_Queen_abdicate_in_favor_of_Prince_William

If the Queen abdicates Charles will become king by default. However as the UK has no written constitution then any law could be created by the Queen and parliament (if they jointly agree) to pass power to whomever they want. So it's possible to pass power directly to William, but that is not the default

Can't see William stepping over his dad to take the throne. He's too loyal a son, by the looks.

woah, can you imagine the family dramas iof Her Higness did that though?

Surely, she would have a private word with Prince Charles and warmly encourage him to pass the CROWN (There is just something so wrong in saying the throne LOL) to Prince William?

BTW, since he is now a Duke, do we cal HH William Duke or Prince?

(and does he have 10,000 men?)

At risk of sounding like some weird royalist I think it HRH Price William, Duke of Cambridge.

I should go and find something else up do lol

That would be Prince Andrew (Duke of York) with the 10,000 men.  

They went when his house filled with girls.

So how do they decide where they're going to be the Duke of?

"and sat all day in her room glumly looking out of the window. "

How come there are so many photos of her out and about then?.. Doing her charity work - visiting sick children & AIDs patients etc. traveling to other countries re her landmine campaign as well as Royal visits, taking her boys to theme parks etc?
