The order of succession to the throne

Who

to rule England after Queen Elizabeth? The birth of this child changes the order of succession. The first is Prince Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth, born in 1948. The second is his eldest son, Prince William, born in 1982. Before the birth of the “royal baby “, number three was Harry’s brother William. Now, this is the first child of William and Kate is propelled in third place, and Harry is relegated to fourth place. If this order is respected, the baby will one day become the 43 e monarch since William the Conqueror was crowned in 1066.

But the rules have changed. After decades of discussions to end this ancient inequality, a bill aimed at greater equality was passed by Parliament. It should now be adopted by 15 other Commonwealth countries.
