The Stunning Transformation Of Lady Louise Windsor

Posted by Erma Hippe on Thursday, May 30, 2024

As many royal fans know, the line of succession for the throne is a fickle thing, and it changes every time a royal baby is born. However, in 2013, The Succession to the Crown Act was passed, as noted by Hello! Magazine.

In order to understand the act, let's go back in time a little bit. Queen Elizabeth had four children — Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward — in that order. However, because The Succession to the Crown Act was not in place until the mid-2010s, both Andrew and Edward surpassed their older sister, Anne, in the line of succession. The same is true for Louise. Unlike her young nieces, who were born after the cut-off date of October 28, 2011, Louise will continue to stand behind her younger brother in the line of succession.

So to answer the question — yes, Louise's life was altered by the passing of the act, but not in a way that benefits her standing. She now stands in the 16th position in line to the British throne as of publication, behind her brother, despite being the older sibling. According to Express, "Unfortunately, Louise was born too early, before the cutoff date, to benefit from the act. As heirs are born, she will unfortunately continue to move down the line of succession."
