No he won't, because Charles will be dead, and the succession is immediate.
I think "heir apparent" means an heir whose claim can't be eclipsed by the birth of a further child (so QE2 was never heir apparent). It doesn't mean an heir who has not yet inherited, who then becomes an heir.

Yes, so then allegiance will switch to Charles’s heir, William.
They don’t pledge allegiance now to all persons who might at some point become Charles’s heir, for example Harry.
As you can see there’s lots of different types of heir. The heirs of “heirs and successors” aren’t just whatever heirs you want them to be, for example Harry, or someone who isn’t the monarch.

“The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.”

UK media returns fire at 'Harry the Nasty' over Netflix doc
Britain's media, the main focus of criticism so far in Netflix docuseries "Harry and Meghan", on Friday hit back at the estranged prince and his wife, accusing them of lying and insulting Queen Elizabeth II.
wow!

So, this loyalty passes down unproblematically to the next monarch?
And if Charles had snuffed it before he'd had kids, you'd have been happy saluting and being loyal to King Andrew?

What disrespect?
Soldiers abide by rigid hierarchy and although Charles is Harry's father, on paper at least, he's also his BOSS. Because that's how these cunts operate.

That sounds like an answer to "what boss?"
What does that mean?

The same boss who tormented his mother half to death?
Nobody owes loyalty to the abusive or the corrupt. No pact or oath can bind one party but not the other.

It sounds like the kind of thinking that gets people put on watchlists.
"Don't worry Your Majesty, you might be dead but I'm still loyal to my oath, I think your grandson has disrespected you so I will murder him if the opportunity arises."

Eventually, what with the 'heirs and successors' bit, it might become necessary for Harry to defend his honour by murdering himself. In which case he would probably become his own heir and the whole thing would collapse into a black hole.

Yes, but I don't see any disrespect.

I genuinely can’t see what they have done that is so terrible or disrespectful. Could you spell it out for me please?

They have criticised the institution, which is hardly worthy of respect
Glitter

They have, and it isn’t. But that isn’t disrespectful to do. Hence my confusion.

Have they genuinely criticised the institution though?
All I have seen (reported, because I haven't watched any of it) is criticism of some of the behaviour of some (so far unnamed?) members of the family and the media.
If they were to actually criticise the institution, it would be far more notable, and I might even have a bit of grudging respect for them.

It IS disrespectful, but that’s ok as no respect is warranted

they’ve complained about the inherent racism, haven’t they? I dunno. I get all my info from this thread and the odd glimpse of Twitter

I get almost all my info from this thread too, but I from what I've seen they haven't suggested the Royal Family as an institution is inherently racist, rather that the behaviour of various people towards Meghan has been racist, which to me is significantly different.
Anyway...

Sorry if already mentioned.....I gather Harry says royals don't marry for love. No shit Sherlock, what she'll has he been hiding under for the last few hundred years. It's been about alliances, peace keeping, money or simply producing an heir. For god's sake wake up lad.
