Who was the epileptic one? If it was Prince John, he had been dead since 1919.
"But Mr. Churchill, who are we going to have on the throne?"
"My dear boy, it should be obvious. He will be the first Zombie King."

I considered saying "of Britain" but suspected someone might go "the Irish stick their tongues in your general direction."
Yeah, because it's not like the Britain consists of more than England, or anything.
To be pedantic 'Britain' is England and Wales, 'Great Britain' adds Scotland and the UK includes Northern Ireland.
In the last part you could have had [name] instead of 'the member of the Royal Family then next in succession to the Throne' and legally that person would have become King, or Queen, immediately assent was signified (which means announced in Parliament). Or you could stop after Crown, and then the Duke of York would inherit, just as happened from the actual wording. There was absolutely no reason to have anyone else, whether a dead boy, a choice of non-existent girls (George V had only one daughter) or a real live Germanophile, if the Duke of Kent was indeed such. And it is only in theory that there could have been anyone else, only the Duke of York as next in line was sure of acceptance.(1) Immediately upon the Royal Assent being signified to this Act the Instrument of Abdication executed by His present Majesty on the tenth day of December, nineteen hundred and thirty-six, set out in the Schedule to this Act, shall have effect, and thereupon His Majesty shall cease to be King and there shall be a demise of the Crown, and accordingly the member of the Royal Family then next in succession to the Throne shall succeed thereto and to all the rights, privileges, and dignities thereunto belonging.
