Succession to the British throne

Oaths to heirs and successorsIn general, this oath is sworn to the crown,
monarch, sovereign, or regent, as represented by the incumbent
king or queen, currently Elizabeth II. This oath also specifies that
this same oath to the Queen, is equally sworn to her (plural) "heirs
and successors," rather than the (singular) heir and successor, or
even, heir and/or successor. This (plural) anomaly indicates that
any oath given to the Queen is equally given to all of her heirs, i.e.,
her/their children, and her/their grandchildren, and equally to all
successors to the British throne, currently listed in the line of
succession to the British throne.
This oath to the Queen, her heirs, and successors, has never been required to be sworn by
the Queen's subjects who have that status from birth, but is now a requirement to be
sworn by immigrants to the United Kingdom who seek to become naturalised, in citizen
ceremonies on becoming British citizens.[3] Other exceptions to a requirement to swear
this oath include; magistrates, who only swear allegiance to the Queen,[4] whereas judges
swear their allegiance to the Queen, and to her heirs and successors; police officers in
England and Wales pledge their allegiance to the Queen, but not her heirs and successors
