Introduction:

1, the succession to the British throne is based on the inheritance right of the eldest son. In other words, from the descendants of Prince William, both sons and daughters will inherit the throne strictly according to their age, but according to the law, the succession to the British throne is not automatic. 170 1 year passed the Settlement Act, which stipulated that the throne should be passed to the blood descendants of Madame Sofia, the elector of Hanover, and the heir should not be a Catholic or marry a Catholic.

2. Some people think that this provision conflicts with the provisions prohibiting religious discrimination in other British laws. But in fact, the vast majority of people who are eligible to inherit the throne are Protestant Christians, and most of them claim to be members of the Anglican Church in public.

In addition, the bill also stipulates that the succession to the throne is decided by parliament, not by the monarch himself.
