Well, I suspect Kate will be under enormous pressure to produce a son so that the issue will be rendered moot. :)

Hopefully she doesn't fail and go crazy like that Japanese chick.  :ph34r:

A daughter would do the deed as well, Harry would by bypassed by any scion of Kaylliam*.

*Just coined that one.   :ph34r:
if they have a daughter first then a son, does the son superceed? i forget

Yes.

What I like is how the King of Norway is currently 68th in line for the Throne.
Getting ready to make IEDs against American Occupation Forces.

I kind of wondered at one point several years ago:  If Prince William married Princess Victoria of Sweden, would the countries be united once they both had succeeded to their respective thrones? :hmm:

Only to the extent Canada and Australia and Great Britain are I presume.

See, if I was a Prince, I would consider it my duty to marry specifically in order to enlarge my territory. :showoff:

Both Parliaments would probably pass a law that makes sure the two countries remain separate, sovereignty and all that. Or, one would be forced to abdicate or renounce his or her claim - most probably the bride.

If they do have a daughter first the secession law will probably be changed.

Have you not played EU3? :rolleyes:

Sweden and the UK (and Australia, Canada,, etc) would be in a personal union - shared monarch, but separate countries.

Hell Scotland and England were in the same situation up until the Act of Union.

Hey if they had let elder daughters inherit the crown in 1901 the Kaiser Wilhelm II's mother would have been Queen and a few months later Wilhelm would have united the crowns of Germany and Great Britain  :lol:
