He is the prince of wales and therefore next inline BUT in my opinion Elisabeth has still years ahead of her as a queen, that woman seems to be immortal. Charles is already like... 60 or even older.
Let's say E. is going to die in 5 years. Would you want a king who is at least 65? How long will he last? And to be quiet frank, the guy doesn't seem to have the guts to be king. And he isn't that popular with his people either.
William on the other hand looks like he can handle tough situations better. He would be young and it would mean a change in politics for certain. So I hope it'll be William, since Camilla had to agree never to be officially called Queen or something before she married Charles, it seems the best choice possible. Besides getting rid of that ridiculous system.

He will only be crowned king when Queen Elizabeth II dies, or renounces the throne. If Charles dies, William will be next in line for the crown.

Nope... the Queen is going to pass him up and go to William.
I was expecting him to take the throne before the divorce with Diana and now the union with Camilla (who is not royalty material).
Now it would just seem tacky. I'm sure he would pass the responsibility to William.

Although the Queen is 83, her mother lived to 101. Of course, there is nothing that says Prince Charles won't have a long life too. Royal families and their royalist supporters like succession to be orderly and consistent. When the Queen's health eventually fails the family and advisers will consider the health and credentials of her heirs at that time. If she died suddenly now, Prince Charles would almost certainly inherit the throne. It should be noted that Prince Charles has been doing an excellent job of being a Crown Prince all these years in countless ways.

I think it's possible. If the Queen was going to renounce him, between his divorcing Diana and then marrying Camilla, I think she'd have done it already.
So it's really a toss-up as to who is going to outlive the other. She maybe had a more normal childhood than he did because while she was a member of the royal family, she wasn't expected ever to take the throne. She also had a more happy life until the last 15 years or so. She could outlive him, which would be sad for her.
I do think if Charles reigns, it won't be for very long.
