Live Royal Wedding Coverage.

Oh right, I forgot the British aren't male-only in the line of succession.

[HVC]

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. 

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

*Just coined that one.  

if they have a daughter first then a son, does the son superceed? i forget

What I like is how the King of Norway is currently 68th in line for the Throne.

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?

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.

Yes.

Feminists are gonna love that outcome hah

[Valmy]

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

[Barrister]

Have you not played EU3?

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.

[Valmy]

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 

[Malthus]

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

I can see you marrying a woman with huge ... tracts of land.
