The British royal line of succession is determined by the order in which the Queen’s descendants are born and by a set of legislative provisions enacted by Parliament.
Some examples are the United Kingdom’s Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Act of Settlement (which was later reaffirmed by the Acts of Union).
For future heirs, the Succession Crown Act of 2013 altered this restriction “to make succession to the Crown not dependent on gender,” indicating that future monarchs’ daughters can also have the opportunity to rule one day, if they choose to do so.
