Especially, the UK not sufficiently preparing the spare is strange given that they were one of the European monarchies who had to rely on the spare (I grouped them in 'no children' vs 'dysfunction' - the latter can play out in different ways) in the 20th century:
Belgium: 1993: throne went to spare (brother) because the monarch had no children
UK: 1936: throne went to spare (brother) because of a dysfunctional monarch
Luxembourg: 1919: throne went to spare (sister) because of a dystunctional monarch
