What would happen if the succession law were to be applied retroactively?

British law of succession? Lulz everyone?

  • The absolute primogeniture law has not been taken into effect atm. What will happen if Kate gives birth to a girl before the new proposed law has been ultimately signed, approved and made by Queen Elizabeth II into law and after a year the law is signed and Kate gives birth to a boy? Elder girl - is born before the new law is signed into effect (male primogeniture-bound) Younger boy - is born after the new law is signed (absolute primogeniture-bound)

  • Answer:

    The first born will still be the heir. The changes will take place retroactively.

They will have nine months from the announcement that Kate is pregnant, to get the signature. Do you REALLY think it will take the Queen more than nine months to put her signature on that piece of paper

The law will be retrospective in reference to the descendants of Charles. However, it will probably pass through Parliament with little debate. Royal Assent is no more than a technicality.
