Last week, The Succession To The Crown Act made history. The new law came into force on March 26 and ends 300 years of male entitlement to the British throne. Should the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a baby girl, she won't be left out in the line of succession, according to Elle UK.
The act was quickly summoned before Prince George's birth in 2013 to make sure that William and Kate's first baby - even if a girl - would be third in line to the throne.
The law in force now states: "The gender of a person born after 28 October 2011 does not give that person, or that person's descendants, precedence over any other person (whenever born)."
"The Act reflects this Government's emphasis on equality by removing centuries of discrimination on both religious and gender grounds," Clegg concluded in the announcement. "The Act puts in place succession laws that are fit for the 21st century and for a modern constitutional monarchy."
