William the Conqeuror was another heir to the throne (and so was Harold). William was from Normandy and he sailed to England to claim the throne. Harold was elected to be the next king by the nobles, but William insisted he was the next rightful king because he was a relative. At the battle of Hastings, it was the major turning point and William became king.

William The Conqueror claimed that Edward The Confessor had pry sent him a letter saying that he should be the next king of England. However nobody knows if this event actually took place.
No, his grandmother is still queen and the next in line is his father.

His father, Prince Charles, in next in line for the throne, and so should be the next King. However, many British people feel William would be a better choice.

king William
In my opinion he should have been king because Edward the confessor said he could be next in line also William the conqueror forced Harold to make an oath he didn't want to make.
The Norman conquest of England began on September 28,1066, as forces of Normandy led by William the Conqueror landed at Pevensey, England. William had been the designated successor of Edward the Confessor, but Harold II was crowned king instead. William's fight for the crown ended victoriously with the Battle of Hastings, in October 1066; Harold II died in the battle. William was crowned king in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day. Normandy changed hands several times during the next 400 years, and only returned to French sovereignty in 1450.
