They can't skip a generation anyway. When the Queen dies, Charles becomes King immediately (assuming he's still alive). He might choose to abdicate in favour of William, though by all accounts he has no intention of doing so, but the simple fact is that he will become King. It's hereditary, not a matter of choice like the election of a new chairman to the board where the expected candidate can be passed over.

The line of succession is determined by laws, and these laws can be changed (as was done her recently when female heirs took their place in front of younger males) all it requires is Her Majesty to dictate that divorcees cannot inherit the crown and William jumps up one place, this then needs to be agreed by all 16 countries, if not a strange situation exists where the throne passes to one person in one country and someone else in another which happened in 1837 when Victoria assessed to the UK throne but was illegible from claiming the throne of Hanover as it barred women.

But if she's going to pop her clogs before New Year to make it into the books for 2016, they haven't got time for all that lawmaking nonsense so Charles wins.

I'd been planning on watching Singin' In The Rain some time soon, as I haven't seen it in years and bought the DVD a while back. Might pop it on this afternoon.
