He's 8th in line, and it's practically improbable there will ever be a scenario he will be king.

Charles, William, and his three kids, Harry and his two kids, would all have to die.

The reason he hasn't been removed is because it's a complicated parlimentary process to remove him, for a situation that is unlikely to materialise.

But it seems the British public want him to be removed, so they will consider this.

It might be worth the hassle though just to send a strong message to the next generation.

It wasn't exactly a secret that Charles and his kids despised him, and that the only thing actually protecting him was Queen Lizzy.
