but what right does william have to the throne before his father???

Britain does not have a written constitution - there are no written rights of kings and queens. Parliament, as the mandate of the prople has the right to choose its king, as James II found out in 1688, or George III during the regency.

If Charles had a devine right to be king, we as the people of Britain would not have a right to abolish the king.
