So I'm revisiting this story for the time being. I don't know exactly how often I'll be updating, or when I'll be updating but I'm going to be looking at it a bit more than I have been. Right now however, I'm just updating Fanfiction . net with the chapters that have already been published in different archives…along with a massive grammar/spell check.

For those of you who don't know, and didn't bother to look into the summary, this is a part of my "A Royal Predicament" Series. The first two stories are under "A Royal Misconception" Which will also be reviewed for grammar/spelling over the next couple of weeks.

I hope you all enjoy.

It's May 23, 2019 and it's just coming upon 6:30 in the evening, and Kurt is finally getting home from work. He's an assistant to a fashion designer in New York and most evenings he doesn't get home until 8pm or later, but today his boss left early, which gave Kurt time off as well. Not being one to waste it, he rushed home so he could spend it with his boyfriend. However when he walked through the front door, he realized that something was definitely, definitely wrong.

"Honey, I'm home early." He called out to Blaine, who was sitting in the living room, apparently watching TV. He looked at the screen, and saw five words he never thought he'd see flash across his flat screen.

Princes Die in Plane Crash

"What happened?" Kurt asked, as he sat down next to Blaine on the couch.

"It's Charles and William. Their plane went down over the coast of Spain. They haven't released a statement as to why, yet."

"What about Kate?" Kurt asked, worriedly. Blaine shook his head.

"She was at Clarence House when it happened, she wasn't with them."

"Well that's good at least. I can't believe Charles and William are gone."

"Me neither Kurt, me neither."

They both sat there watching the TV for a few minutes, listening to the reporter speak.

"Princes Charles and William's plane crashed this afternoon around 3pm GST off the coast of Spain. Officials have yet to release a statement as to why the plane went down, so all we have now is speculation. Some say there was faulty machinery, and some say it was shot down. Whatever happened, we can confirm that both Prince Charles and Prince William are dead. This is the most recent death in a string of royal family deaths which leaves everyone wondering, who is next in line to the throne? John, you have some insight into that for us, right?"

"Well Connie, since both Charles and William are gone and Prince Henry gave up his right to the throne back in 2013, it would have been Prince Andrew, but he himself died of a heart attack back in 2016. Considering Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have yet to be located after going missing on their African exploration trip last year, next in line would have fallen to Prince Edward, who like we all know succumbed to colon cancer over 6 years ago. The next in line, would be Viscount Severn, followed by Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, however both of these teens haven't even hit the age of majority yet. So who knows what would happen if the worst were to happen."

"John, what is the line of succession for the next 10 or so people, just so people at home are informed."

"Well as I said, it would be Viscount Severn, Prince Edward's 12 year old son, followed by Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor who is only 16. After Princess Anne's death along with her entire immediate family, including Peter, Savannah, Isla and Zara in a gas explosion back in 2017, following Lady Louise, would be Viscount Linley, the late Princess Margaret's son and his two children Charles Armstrong-Jones, and Margarita Armstrong-Jones. After that would be the Lady Sarah Chatto, and her two sons Samuel and Arthur. Following that, I'm unsure, but hopefully no one will have to know."

Blaine turned the TV off and looked over at Kurt who was deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?" He asked.

"I never stopped to think about it...with so many members of the royal family having died in the past 8 years... I'm not 26th in line anymore. Including the 8 people that they said on the news cast...there's only like...my grandmother rose, my uncle Jonathan and his daughter, and my Aunt Mary and her children before..." Kurt shakes his head. "No, can't think like that."

"Why? It would be entertaining if you were the King of Britain. I mean, it sucks that everyone else is dying, but a lot of them are old. Sure William and your second cousins weren't exactly getting senior citizen discounts but, the others? Edward, Andrew, Charles, Anne? They were all getting on in years, and especially in Andrew and Edward's cases were in pain before they died."

"That still doesn't mean I want to fantasize about what I would do if I was King, Blaine. I'm already royalty, remember? I was made Prom Queen 8 years ago. Now can we drop this?" Kurt asked with a grimace, mourning the loss of two members of his extended family.

"Sure Kurt, sure." Blaine said, as he pulled his boyfriend into his embrace. It probably isn't a pleasant thought that if 16 more people died, Kurt would become King of Britain, because that's a lot of pressure to put on a 24 year old. Especially a 24 year old who never wanted that life to begin with.
