In the rule as you see it Bob, I understand that the checkmated King is removed but no attacking piece is moving on its square. Imagine White King is checkmated and that, in checkmating, Black is eating a piece. As he also removes the white King, Black is actually taking 2 pieces in a single move. That was probably my problem. This is why, I said that the White King is becoming a White Prince.

In the rule as I'm trying to implement it, for the succession on White's side to be triggered, Black has to actually take a turn to capture the White King. Then the White Prince immediately becomes the White King.
