Who inherited the British throne when William IV died?

  • Edward VII

  • Elizabeth

  • George VI

  • Victoria

Answer

Queen Victoria inherited the British throne upon the death of her uncle, King William IV. As the only surviving child of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, the fourth son of King George III, she became the heir presumptive after the death of her three uncles—George IV, King Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, and King William IV—none of whom had any legitimate children.
