How would Charles abdicate?
The Abdication Process and Prince Charles: The procedure of a monarch stepping down, termed as abdication, is intricate and multifaceted. As per the academic repository of University College London’s Constitution Unit, there’s a specified mechanism for Prince William to assume the position of King. Notably, it could only transpire if Prince Charles voluntarily decided to abdicate.
The necessary legislative procedure that facilitates this process is akin to what was witnessed with the Declaration of Abdication Act of 1936. Historically, the entire lineage of royal succession has been under the jurisdiction and regulation of the parliamentary system, manifesting through acts like the Act of Succession 1700 and the Succession to the Crown Act 2013. The monarch in power cannot unilaterally tweak this succession order.
