I’ll stop there - the line of succession is actually known to somewhere over 5000 places at this point - but I’ve done the first thirty as an illustration of how confused the line can seem at first glance - the first person without a title comes at number 7, but there are actually people with the title of Prince at number 48 (Prince Michael of Kent - the Queen’s first cousin, and a grandson of King George V) and Princess at number 53 (Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy - also the Queen’s first cousin, and a granddaughter of King George V).
The line is fixed by Acts of Parliament (most notably the Act of Settlement of 1701 that provided that the protestant heirs of Sophia, Electress of Hanover (mother of King George I - she died two months before he became King or she would have been Queen) would form the line of succession - those 5000 or so people are all of her non-Catholic descendants - and can only be altered by Act of Parliament.
Prince Richard seems like he is gnawing at the bit for the job.
Thanks. We have been binging on “The Queen”. Finished last night.. changing my opinion on Monarchy. It would be nice to have someone at the top who actually cared about the country as a whole.
I know they passed a revision law to eliminate male heirs over female ones so the order only goes by birth order regardless of gender and it only applies to newly born royals. Princess Anne should be ahead of Andrew and Edward.
