@The State same lol

2019-10-28 19:31:33 UTC  

Prince George is followed by his 2 siblings

2019-10-28 19:32:03 UTC  

Princess Charlotte

2019-10-28 19:32:13 UTC  

4th in line to the throne

2019-10-28 19:32:36 UTC  

Would've never even had a chance at claiming the throne if the queen didn't change succession laws in 2013

2019-10-28 19:32:51 UTC  

Really?

2019-10-28 19:32:55 UTC  

What did she change them to?

2019-10-28 19:33:08 UTC  

Before 2013 the throne went to the eldest male

2019-10-28 19:33:16 UTC  

What is it now?

2019-10-28 19:33:23 UTC  

The eldest descendant

2019-10-28 19:33:42 UTC  

So it would've skipped the princess and gone to her younger brother

2019-10-28 19:33:53 UTC  

Then to prince Williams brother the race mixer

2019-10-28 19:33:56 UTC  

And his sons

2019-10-28 19:34:00 UTC  

Well if women couldn't inherit the throne how did Elizabeth herself or Victoria become Queen?

2019-10-28 19:34:05 UTC  

Let alone Elizabeth I

2019-10-28 19:34:11 UTC  

There we no male heirs

2019-10-28 19:34:29 UTC  

The closest male heir to the throne in Elizabeth's time was a French king

2019-10-28 19:34:37 UTC  

From a royal marriage

2019-10-28 19:34:47 UTC  

A matrilineal descendant

2019-10-28 19:35:13 UTC  

And after Elizabeth died the throne went to the Scottish

2019-10-28 19:35:20 UTC  

And they United the two countries

2019-10-28 19:35:20 UTC  

Well done @Veritas, you just advanced to level 8!

2019-10-28 19:35:27 UTC  

Matrilineal lines were automatically discounted

2019-10-28 19:35:32 UTC  

Yeah

2019-10-28 19:35:41 UTC  

It would have to be patrilineal

2019-10-28 19:36:02 UTC  

King James I & VI was related to the English throne patrilineally from the 1300s

2019-10-28 19:36:22 UTC  

James I of England and VI of Scotland for whoever reads this after and doesn't understand

2019-10-28 19:36:25 UTC  

Well that's how he inherited the throne

2019-10-28 19:36:28 UTC  

Yeah

2019-10-28 19:36:35 UTC  

There were literally no heirs left

2019-10-28 19:36:38 UTC  

If James died

2019-10-28 19:36:47 UTC  

The English royal line would've ended

2019-10-28 19:36:58 UTC  

But yh

2019-10-28 19:37:02 UTC  

Wonder what they would have done in such a case

2019-10-28 19:37:12 UTC  

I guess every man for himself at that point

2019-10-28 19:37:16 UTC  

It's happened maybe 3 times

2019-10-28 19:37:26 UTC  

With no heir at all

2019-10-28 19:37:34 UTC  

So what happened then?

2019-10-28 19:37:41 UTC  

They've been forced to look at the matrilineal line

2019-10-28 19:37:56 UTC  

Once in the 1200s
