ROYAL SUCCESSION
A table of those people closest to the British throne, as far down as 54th in line (all the living descendants of King George V). Those in yellow-green shading have been excluded from the succession, for either being illegitimate and/or Catholic. The 55th in line is James Duke of Fife (1929-) and the nearest foreign monarch is King Harald V of Norway at 62nd. Both are great-grandsons of King Edward VII.
