What significant change in law impacts Princess Charlotte's place in the line of succession?

  • Marriage Act

  • Succession to the Crown Act

  • Property Act

  • None

Answer

The Succession to the Crown Act of 2013, which came into force in 2015, impacted Princess Charlotte's place in the line of succession by removing male primogeniture and ensuring that the first-born child of the monarch, regardless of their gender, inherits the throne. This means that Princess Charlotte is now second in line to the throne after her brother, Prince George, and ahead of her uncle, Prince Harry.
