The nation is currently in mourning following Thursday's tragic news that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away at the age of 96. Although her legacy will live on indefinitely following a lifetime full of achievements, one gesture in particular will see the Royal Family change forever.
That gesture was made to her great-granddaughter, Princess Charlotte, and has seen the seven year old Princess sparred from the same unfair treatment that had impacted her own daughter, Anne, Princess Royal. The said treatment saw Princess Anne dropped down the line of succession simply because of her gender, the Daily Express reports.
Although she was born before her brothers Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, they were put in line for the throne before her. Princess Charlotte - who will one day inherit the prestigious Princess Royal title from her great-aunt - is the only daughter of Prince and Princess of Wales, and is the couple's middle child between her older brother Prince George and younger brother Prince Louis.
Previously, that would have seen Prince Louis moved up in the line of succession.That was until the Queen issued the Succession of the Crown Act before the birth of Prince William and Princess Catherine's first child. The Act saw an update to the discriminatory royal laws and meant that their child would have equal right to the throne regardless of their gender.
As a boy, George's place as third - and now second - in line to the throne did not change, but the Queen's rule meant that Charlotte kept her place and was not bumped down when Louis arrived. Constitutional expert Iain MacMarthanne explained: "The 2013 Act sought to bring multiple pieces of outdated and discriminatory legislation relating to the monarchy up to date.
