Girls equal in British throne succession
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15492607#dna-comments
Quote:
Sons and daughters of any future UK monarch will have equal right to the throne, after Commonwealth leaders agreed to change succession laws.
The leaders of the 16 Commonwealth countries where the Queen is head of state unanimously approved the changes at a summit in Perth, Australia.
It means a first-born daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would take precedence over younger brothers.
The ban on the monarch being married to a Roman Catholic was also lifted.

Well we have joined the 21st century at last..Pity we didn't manage this during the last century.Princess Anne was always a bet bet than her two younger siblings.

Re: Girls equal in British throne succession
Can someone tell me what happens when William becomes King? Does Middleton become Queen or can you only have one? If he died would his first born become King or would it be Harry?

Re: Girls equal in British throne succession
Kate will become Queen when William becomes King.
If he was King and died before his first born was 18, a regent would stand on the throne until the Heir became 18.
If this would be Kate or Harry I don't know.

If we had really joined the 21st century we wouldn't even have such an institution but given I quite like Her Maj + Charlie and the alternative is President Blair and the like I'm all for it and a better bet as what? Being the never used spare is hardly some thing to get upset about.

I believe she becomes Queen but can't actually rule should some thing happen to Bill, same thing happened to the Queen mum when her husband died.

When a king inherits the throne on the death of his father, his wife becomes Queen Consort and his mother, if she's still alive, becomes Queen Mother.
A king's wife is Queen Consort, but if the reigning monarch is a Queen rather than a king then her husband is Prince Consort, e.g. Victoria's husband, Prince Albert.

Re: Girls equal in British throne succession
See? This is why punctuation is important:
Quote:

A comma or new line would have avoided all that needless consternation.

Sounded good to me, no WWI, WWII and no Hitler, trouble is history revisionism is never quite as easy as simply changing a few facts.
