Edward VIII had no heirs so not a precedent that backs up my argument though. In fact there isn't a precedent so it would be a 'constitutional crisis' in the press.
This the closest precedent I guess... "In June 2014, King Juan Carlos of Spain announced his intent to abdicate in favor of his son, Felipe." - Source Wikipedia- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdication
But I am not a hereditary lineage, monarchical constitutional law expert.

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostSuch vulgarity could lessen the economic value of the monarchy. All that's needed is a robust competitive tender, and we'll see what comes out. Maybe there will be creative 'offers' that go down the kinds of path you describe. Maybe a bidder will opt for a traditional approach. One of the oil rich sheikhs may come in with a belter of an offer, because they're looking to get a foot-hold in the European monarchy market.
The free market will sort it out.

Sometimes you'll hear people say that it makes money for the UK, but then they refuse to engage in a free market solution to put the monarchy out to competitive tender, to see if the UK can get a more economically advantageous contract than the one with the incumbent monarchic service providers.

Anyway, there is no precedent needed as Parliament would just pass an act defining the succession. This is all very silly anyway. If you believe in a hereditary monarchy, you need to accept that sometimes you'll get a duffer.
