Legitimate descendents of Electress Sophia of Hanover are elegible to ascend the throne of the United kingdom per the Act of Settlement of 1701.

In 2000, someone sat down and tracked them all down. The following website lists them as of January 1, 2001.

We know there's more now, but here are the inmediate decendants of George VI as of that date. Interesting that even with immediate grand neices and nephews of the queen, there's already people most of us have never heard of.

SOV Elizabeth II Q Gt Britain (*1926) m. Philip D Edinburgh [556, below]
1. Charles P Wales (*1948)
2. William P Gt Britain (*1982)
3. Harry P Gt Britain (*1984)
4. Andrew D York (*1960)
5. Beatrice Pss Gt Britain (*1988)
6. Eugenie Pss Gt Britain (*1990)
7. Edward E Wessex (*1964)
8. Anne Pss Royal (*1950) m1. Mark Phillips m2. Timothy Lawrence
9. Peter Phillips (*1977)
10. Zara Phillips (*1981)
11. Margaret Pss Gt Britain (*1930) m. Antony Armstrong-Jones 1 E Snowdon
12. David Armstrong-Jones V Linley (*1961)
13. Charles Armstrong-Jones (*1999)
14. Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones (*1964) m. Daniel Chatto
15. Samuel Chatto (*1996)
16. Arthur Chatto (*1999)

So, an H-bomb hitting London, would put young Mr Chatto on the throne.

BTW - some of you young ladies might want to look up young Mr. Chatto. I'm just sayin....

Wow, can you imagine how much different our daily lives would be with one of those people on the throne! Really makes you think.

Who the heck is Electress Sophia of Hanover?
