I just read somewhere that Harry has to wait to marry until William and Kate produce a child, now that they are getting married.
Obviously, the oldest child is in line for the throne, but what William and Kate are doing is producing an heir to the throne.
So, Harry would still become King after William, right? Even if something were to happen William.
This is all of course on the decision that Charles would make to give up his throne and stand aside for William.

I haven't heard of any such idea; that's not a policy that was followed by the British royal family in the past. For example, King George V had five children who lived to adulthood, but the oldest (Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor) was the last to marry, and he never had any children. And closer to the present, Princess Anne married eight years before her older brother Prince Charles did. -

No that's not true Harry can marry when ever he's ready. Harry really is in the best position. He can have all the fun and non of the responsibility. And now that Willie is married Harry never has to take the throne, but he will always have the benefits of royality without much of the responsibility.

The Queen's youngest grandchild (born in 2007) is higher in the line of succession than her oldest grandchild (born in 1977, five years before Prince William). It's not when you're born, it's who you're born to.
