What is the law for adopted children? Can they climb the throne?
Referring to history, the answer would be no. "Adopted children do not have the right to get a headline," explains Marlene Koening, a renowned British kingdom. "To be right, you must be Sophia's Protestant offspring." Sophia who ?!
Then, since Queen Anne's leadership at the beginning of the twentieth century, XVIII ended with her death in 1714, the British throne passed into the hands of her cousin, Sophia from Hanover. But Sophia died less than two months after taking the throne, so the crown passed over to her great son, King George I. Now, all those who become monarchs must be descendants of Sophia and the line that came after the death of Queen Anne.
"This excludes adopted children," says Koening. "A royal family member is unlikely to adopt a child; more likely there is a labrador to be adopted than a toddler. "
These basic rules were introduced long ago in the Settlement Act in 1701. However, over time, they have changed. In 2013, radical changes were made, where girls were included for the first time in the order of the heirs to invitations, which were previously shifted by their brothers.
Will the kingdom allow the presence of adopted children and their right to participate in the throne line?
Experts are of some opinion, but a good part thinks that this will happen one day. It may take years and decades, but it will happen.
Although an adopted child may not be welcome on the line of inheritance, it will soon be welcomed within the royal family. We say that Prince George, the son of Prince William and Duchess Kate, decides later to have no children, but to adopt one. Perhaps today they would strictly forbid them, just as they might have done with Harry years ago on marriage with Meghan, but later they do not know. The royal family has shown how much the strike rules, so it is able to break them.
