It's a bit late now but Prince Philip WAS in line to the throne. He was number ~300 as the great-grandson of one of Queen Victoria's daughters. But he would have had to outlive all his own descendants and all the descendants of Victoria's sons until it's time to look at Victoria's daughters. It's a bit moot now but that could have been a movie plot in the 90s, someone's been killing off distant relatives to the Queen and it turns out to be Philip working on becoming King by killing hundreds and hundreds of people with better claims than his own.

3:36 Also, when the primogeniture is male preference, the dynasty remains patrilineal. In other words, if one day, a queen is crowned and marries her not king, but prince consort, the royal house changes to the prince consort's royal house. In absolute primogeniture, the total patrilineal dynastical system becomes cumbersome as the royal house will theoretically change every 2 generations instead of many, so they made it so the dynasty will become matrilineal whenever a queen is crowned. In other words, the royal house will remain the same forever (assuming every king/queen dies with an heir) as changing royal houses increases the chance of the monarchy being abolished. Also, this absolute primogeniture gives birth to the term "King Consort" in royalty, as the dynasty became matrilineal. That is why King Charles III belongs to the house of Windsor, and not Mountbatten. If Queen Elizabeth died before 2013, the UK will get to have a chance to open its last royal house, the House of Mountbatten (because no more royal houses will open in the future due to absolute primogeniture, assuming no kings/queens will die without any heir).

Eliminating the male part of the primogeniture rule had actually been agreed to in 2011. It took some negotiation because it had to be agreed upon by all the realms for whom the British Monarch is the head of state. When the law was actually passed in 2013, it was more or less a formality. And in the event, there are now a line of three males for the throne after Elizabeth, so it'll be the better part of a century before the change has any real effect, assuming nothing serious happens to George.
@qwertyTRiG8 років тому
Lytrigian They didn't *have* to change it in each realm: they *could* have allowed the different realms to have different rules, in which case the thrones would (eventually) separate. Would have been (a) interesting and (b) very very messy, so I can see why they didn't want to, but it's a theoretical possibility. And, actually, they didn't have to get *all* the countries to agree, because many Commonwealth Realms don't set out rules for inheritance: they simply specify that the Monarch of the UK is also their Monarch. TRiG.
@XBlueM0ndayX8 років тому
TRiG (Ireland) It would be a very strange circumstance given that, for instance, the Queen of Australia is legally distinct from the Queen of England, but that office happens to be held by the same person.

He left out one important bit: the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 is not retroactive. Those born BEFORE 28 October 2011 follow the old format (male primogeniture). Those born after will fill cognatic (gender-neutral) order. Thus, any further children born to the Cambridges will come after Charlotte. Any children born to Harry will follow the new formula.
@ang_1315 років тому
This is a good point. Though you really have to dig down in the line of succession before you find someone that would have benefited from a retroactive application, namely, Princess Anne and her family. The Princess is currently 13th in line but if the fourth rule for male preference had been repealed, she would be 7th after Prince Harry.

@davidguthary81473 роки тому
Just a couple notes: First, while Grey mentions the line of succession going all the way back over 1,000 years, the current rules state that the monarch must descend from Sophia of Hanover (1630-1714). This was done primarily to exclude James "The Old Pretender" from the throne as he was next in line after William and Mary but was Catholic. As a result, the current number of potential heirs stands at around 5,000. Second, while the rules have been amended from male primogeniture to strict primogeniture, this change is not retroactive and did not alter the line of succession established previously. For example, under the current rules, Anne, Princess Royal would be 8th in line for the throne, ahead of her younger brothers Prince Andrew, Duke of York (15th) and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex (18th). However, because the new rule is not retroactive, Andrew is 8th, Edward is 11th, and Anne is 14th.

1980 my country's (Sweden) Act of Succession was updated and the rule was changed from agnatic primogeniture to absolute primogeniture. The heir apparent prior to this change was Prince Carl Philip (born 1979, our king's only son), but after the change Princess Victoria (born 1977, the king's eldest child) became the heir apparent and thus her children come before Prince Carl Philip in the line of succession, followed by him and his children and lastly the king's youngest child, Princess Madeleine and her children. Interesting fact: all European royal families are in the British line of succession. Sweden's king is place 300 something (source I found said 309, but that was written in August 2020 and Elizabeth II has died and I don't know who else in line before Sweden's royal family have died, if any. I have found that at least 3 in line and higher up than the Swedish king were been born in 2021 however). Worthy of note is that in the British line of succession Prince Carl Philip and his children come before Victoria and her children, or at least according to the source I found on Sweden's royal family's position in the British line of succession. Also, Queen Victoria was Sweden's king's Great-Great-Grandmother and so is the case for both Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip as well (note that these two are also related through one more line, so they were both third cousins and second cousins once removed).

CGP Grey should do a video on the house of Lords and how that has historically worked in Parliament, since it seems quite odd to an American like myself.
@iaincampbell54538 років тому
+KaiGonGinn It is a bit odd. Basically the peers were historically the Lords appointed by the Crown and hereditary titles, along with the Bihops of the Church of England. Now, however, the title of Lord is non-heriditary, but you still hold the possition for life and can attend the House of Lords for life as a peer (they do have to declare if inactive though and only get paid if they turn up a lot). The unfortunate thing is that bishops can still sit (even new ones) and the old hereditary titles are still in effect. As of 1999 most of these lines are no longer hereditary peerages and their heirs will not attend parliament, but will still keep the name. However 92 of them still are hereditary peerages and upon the deth of the peer, their heir becomes a peer (some of these even still use male primogenetur). This whole system is rediculus as it is the Queen, on the recomendation of the prime minister, who apoints the peers. The most ause of this power in the history of the United Kingdom has come form David Cameron, who for political gain is trying to flood the Lords with his party donars and old friends. THE LORDS NEEDS REFORM!!!!

Historically it was the equal to the commons and represented the other side of the people. MP's were merchants and other aristocrats, Lords were nobles. Now however since the 1919 and 1949 parliament acts it functions as a mere review chamber with a delaying power of a year. Although members may still propose legislation. Most lords are appointed for the excellency in their fields, making it a highly professional body. It also has a sufficient portion of non-party affiliated members to create a balance. Party politics is rarely argued in the lords and debate is much more mannered. The lords itself is regarded as one of the most highly respected bodies in the world, and its committee papers are some of the best produced. :P
@PsychoBensTV7 років тому
Except in this day and age of career politicians the House of Lords looks less like a hereditary position than the commons, with people from other walks of life actually having a say in government such as successful businessmen, scientists, religious figures, actors, judges, police officers, members of the armed forces and charity workers. Leftists of your caliber seem to forget that the only time you will see people from normal walks of life play a role in law making is in the House of Lords, is the name the problem? Should we rename it to the "House without career politicians"?.
@lurkingharris7 років тому
You're incorrect on what happens when a sitting hereditary peer dies. Essentially, whenever there is a "vacancy" for a hereditary peer any hereditary lord can put their name forward to be elected by the others (unsure if all hereditary lords vote or just the peers), so even if you're a hereditary lord and your father was elected into the house by the other hereditary lords, you won't necessarily become a peer yourself.

The order of succession for the crown was a bit different before William the Conqueror invaded, who breaks the 1701 rules because he was illegitimate therefore sometimes referred to as "William the Bastard." Before 1066 monarchs weren't given the crown for being the next of kin, they had to be nominated by the monarch's council known as the Witan. An interesting fact is that William the Conqueror technically wasn't the next king after Harold Godwinson but was Edgar Ætheling, nominated as king by the Witan shortly before William claimed the throne.
