Succession to the British throne is determined by descent, sex (for people born on or before 28 October 2011), legitimacy, and religion. Under common law, the Crown is inherited by a sovereign’s children or by a childless sovereign’s nearest collateral line. The Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701 restrict succession to the throne to the legitimate Protestant descendants of Sophia of Hanover who are in “communion with the Church of England“.[1] Spouses of Roman Catholics were disqualified from 1689 until the law was amended in 2015. Protestant descendants of those excluded for being Roman Catholics are eligible.[2]
Queen Elizabeth II is the sovereign, and her heir apparent is her eldest son, Charles, Prince of Wales. Next in line after him is Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Wales’s elder son. Third in line is Prince George, the eldest child of the Duke of Cambridge, followed by his sister, Princess Charlotte, and younger brother, Prince Louis. Sixth in line is Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, the younger son of the Prince of Wales. Under the Perth Agreement, which came into effect in 2015, only the first six in line of succession require the sovereign’s consent before they marry; without such consent, they and their children would be disqualified from succession.

The Palaces
Possibly the most famous palace in the World, the Buckingham Palace is a British crown estate everybody has heard of. It is the official residence of the Royal Family in London since 1837 and an administrative headquarters of the ruling monarch.
But it hasn’t always been the main home of Queen Elizabeth II. Actually, it hasn’t even always been a palace. The building that became a core of the estate as we know it today, was built in 1703. It was the house of the Duke of Buckingham and Normanby. Later, it was sold to the George III as served a purpose of the official residence of his wife, Queen Charlotte. The palace became the official royal residence in 1837, during the reign of Queen Victoria.
The palace has the astonishing number of 775 rooms, some for the Royal family, some for their guests and staff, some serving as offices and staterooms, as well as bathrooms and kitchens.
The Buckingham Palace is the residence where all the official events are held. Each year thousands of guests, including heads of states, politicians, and celebrities, are invited to the balls, receptions and parties at the estate. In summer parts of the building are also open to visitors.
