Succession for Royals Revised

Kind of interesting.
A deal was agreed today (28.10.11) which will allow the eldest child of Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to inherit the throne regardless of its sex.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has put an end to more than 300 years of history by scrapping the rule that the first-born male inherits the throne ahead of any elder sisters.

The agreement - which Cameron thrashed out with other Commonwealth leaders - also ended the ban on members of the royal family who marry a Roman Catholic being able to succeed to the throne.

Announcing the agreement, Cameron said: "Put simply, if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to have a little girl, that girl would one day be our queen.
No royal Catholics, eh?
