This is a very interesting thread, especially now with the Duchess of Cambridge's pregnancy. I was wondering if the unborn child is already third in line to the throne, and from reading this thread he/she is. Therefore it is already proper to say that Harry is fourth in line to the throne.
As a result, what would happen with the Council if for example (please excuse the morbid thought) if the Queen, POW and Prince William were all to die during this time that Kate is pregnant. Would Harry 'temporarily' be proclaimed King, and then at the birth of the child, cease to be King, and the infant would be proclaimed Monarch, or would the unborn child be proclaimed King/Queen - not knowing if it was King or Queen? I think its safe to assume Harry would be Regant.
