As a fan of your channel from Thailand, I’m so delighted to hear this story here. Furthermore, I’d like to give you more information about Thai royal family’s line of succession. - According to the 1923 act of succession, which was legislated by King Rama VI and is still active today, female royals were prohibited to take the throne. The reason is that it was unlikely to have a queen regnant at that time. But time flies, and the constitution has the highest rank of law. We may see a woman to wear the crown in the future. This act also determines other interesting things, for example a male royal who marries a foreign woman must be excluded from the succession. It will be affected to his future descendants. Or a female royal must resign from the royal family and loses all of royal titles, if she wants to marry a man with lower rank. - The King’s younger sister, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (Wikipedia calls her Princess Royal), gets more popular than her brother, because the people think that she lives a very simple life, follows her father’s footsteps and is the hardest working royal. So she may be a good choice to become queen, if the king dies or abdicates. - Vacharaeson’s visit to Thailand in almost 30 years surprised us all and usually stays in spotlight. It is believed that he still never met his father and sister. - In Thai history, we have one abdication. King Rama VII abdicated in 1934, only two years after the Siamese Revolution. He remained in the UK until his death in 1941.

I hope I will live to see the day Princess Ingrid Alexandra becomes Queen of Norway!

You forgot the first female co-princess of Andorra from 1398-1412. Isabella of Foix inherited the County of Foix from her brother Matthew and therefore became co-princess of Andorra at the same time.

The UK doesn't have a tradition of honourable abdication because the Commonwealth intentionally made it very difficult for a sovereign to abdicate after Edward VIII's abdication. To abdicate, the sovereign must obtain the permission/consent of the Parliaments of all eight of the fifteen Commonwealth realms who have the right to chime in, the legislatures of all the Australian states, and the legislatures of all the Canadian provinces. No one seems to understand this. It's the law. It isn't optional, and they can't get around it unless they change the law. An heir cannot abdicate. They can however make themselves unqualified for the throne by converting to Roman Catholicism.

@mehere8299

2 ай бұрын

And I should add that obtaining the consent means putting a bill through every one of these parliaments and legislatures, which in itself would likely take months if not years. The recent changes to the succession didn’t have to clear the Canadian provincial legislatures, and still it took *four years* for the bills allowing them to pass everywhere.

Ай бұрын

Realistically if the King wanted to abdicate they'd move the legislation through the Parliaments much quicker. Especially depending on what the reasons were no Parliament/Government would want to be the one holding it up for everybody else. Of course when Edward VIII abdicated the Statue of Westminster (which recognised the monarchies of the Dominions, now Commonwealth Realms, to be seperate legally) had already been instituted, and the Canadian and South African Parliaments had to pass their own Acts to make it happen. Ireland also took the opportunity to change their laws and moved towards abolishing the Monarchy altogether, which I could see some modern countries doing too.

When Edward VIII abdicated, it helped that it was before his coronation. I'm not saying it wouldn't have been possible, but it would have been harder for him to abdicate after he'd been anointed King.

I am Swedish and I believe that King Carl XVI Gustaf will continue for at least ten more years. Partly because no Bernadotte Regent has abdicated (as Lindsey said) but also because he is healthy, strong and he really loves his job. But above all because he and the queen know how tough it is to be king and queen while having small children. (After all, all other modern-day regents have been crown princes/princesses for so long that their children have at least reached their teenage years before becoming regents) Victoria and her siblings have also publicly mentioned that they found it difficult that their parents were so busy and often absent when they where kids.

The Bhutanese rule about abdication was news to me. Thank you, I like learning something new. As for King Harald V of Norway, he has sadly been a lot in and out of hospital recently (including right now) but seems to be in great spirits, and Crown Prince Haakon seamlessly steps in as regent whenever needed as the Norwegian rules on a temporary regency are very relaxed (all you need is basically a doctor’s note).

Here is to hoping that Leonor marries a member of the Capetian dynasty so that the House of Bourbons does not lose the throne of Spain after her time. Unlike other royal houses like Bernadotte or Windsor (where house membership go hand-in-hand with the succession to the throne), Spain is different because the House of Bourbon is part of the larger Capetian dynasty and is thus governed by the dynasty’s rules where house membership is limited to male-line descendants only.

Love your channel 😍

The Monarchies of Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands were once all part of the Duchy of Burgundy. Burgundy knew the possibility of female succession and had it in happen in 1477, when Mary took over from Charles the Bold. And, last not least, but probably more important with regard to that: as long as the House of Hapsburg ruled in Burgundy (later on known as Spanish/Austrian Netherlands), it was usually the task of either the eldest sister or daughter of the current Hapsburg ruler (either in Spain or Austria) to be Governor his or her stead. So, those countries have a long tradition of female Rule.

Even if the king did not designated an heir when his reign had ended, the government must still only invite one of his son or daughter to take the throne.

Bravo on another interesting look at royals across Europe. I have a video request: Through the channel UsefulCharts I learned about several matrilineal dynasties amongst royal history in Europe. I checked, and noticed that not only were Isabella I of Castile and Manuel I of Portugal were matrilineal cousins, but there was more inbreeding in the Iberian Peninsula than I'd previously known of. Would a video on that history, which adds to the Habsburg inbreeding problems mentioned in previous videos, be a possibility?

I mean uk may have a queen if george bears a daughter as the first born when the time comes he is an adult. Or if he is married but without an heir and dies then yeah charlotte may claim the throne.

Malaysia actually has 9 individual sultanates! It's counted as one because they have rotating 5-year terms for each sultan of a state (e.g. Sultan of Johor) to become Sultan of Malaysia

I agree with the King of Sweden. You can change the rules going forward. But it is inappropriate to change the rules retroactively.

In the UK it is possible to abdicate until the coronation. After that leaving tends to be fatal - James II was an exception as he ran away from his people.

Edward was able to be PUSHED to abdication BY The GOVERNMENT AND THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND......BECAUSE he Had NOT been Crowned! After to Coronation, Abdication of the British Monarchs is Extremely Difficult

Why is Princess Charlotte included here?? Her brother is the first in line,,, just want him to disappear?

@mariaaguilar9270 Charlotte is shown to the side of George , which is correct and to the side of her would be Louis. Only when George marries and has children would Charlotte and Louis' places be altered.

My first thought at the title was Princess Victoria from Sweden as she's the oldest of the heir apparent princesses. Earlier,, I thought it odd that Sweden's king took away his already born son's position by making the change of succession retroactive (instead of for future heirs like England did). But apparently he didn't want to but the country made him? It's odd that Swedish people insisted the change of succession had to be retroactive and not just for future born heirs?

The reason why Queen Elizabeth II didn't abdicate is because of her uncle Edward VIII

Yes, But This Video is About Queens REGNANT! Every Monarchy which has a King as it's Monarch, Has a Queen, AS Every King is Married. But yes, Mary Of Australia, has done a terrific job of becoming Danish. As has Queen Maxima of becoming Dutch. I take my hat off to these two especially extra amazing Queens, though we know, EVERY woman who has supported her husband the King, IS Amazing!

@@naa7523 I know she is not The Queen but she is literally known here as "Our Queen Mary" even though we are ruled by the British Royal Family. It's like "The people's Princess" or "the Queen Mother" it's not a real title.

Bit weird for Charlotte and Gabriella to be on here when they both have older brothers. If you include them, why not include Sofia of Spain or Alexia of the Netherlands too? Also, Henri has FOUR sons ;) Guillaume, Felix, Louis and Sebastian, it's just that Louis is no longer in the line of succession. Felix also now has a second son, Balthasar.

Alexia and Sofia both have big sisters so they wouldn’t be the next queen of their houses. Charlotte and Gabriella don’t have any females in succession lines before them.

Australia doesn't need Charles; they've got their own queen now 🤩 And we are so grateful for her 🥰 that we'll happily lend you our king for a couple of weeks a year. After all, he's THE royal, who's spend the most time in Australia 😉😉 Peace and love from Denmark

Only if the existing monarchies survive

Sad the Japanese princess had to give up her title coz she wanted to marry a “commoner”

YESSSS YOU MENTIONED THAILAND OMGGGG!!!!

You saying Charles is unloved is cruel and not true

Leonor is 18.

UAE doesn’t actually pass down leadership automatically to the eldest son and until recently neither did Saudi. The current president of the UAE succeeded his brother. KIngs in Saudi up till now were all brothers, only the current crown prince is a son of the current king. I don’t think he is the eldest son but could be wrong. But yes, no women rulers.

I wish Princess Kako of Akishino could be empress of Japan 😢

I mean, base on the injured the Thailand First Princess got, I'm not sure she's still survived
