Q: I just found out that Princess Anne is 8th in line to the throne. Since she is Queen Elizabeth’s second child, why is this so? -- DE (Ref:1109)

A: The crown passes to the sons and their offspring first. Presently this means Charles is first in line followed by William and Harry, and they are followed by Charles’ brothers and offspring. However, the Queen has changed the rules so that in the future, the throne will be passed to siblings in birth order -- March 21 2005
