They are Anglicans. If a member of the Royal Family converts to Catholicism, or marries someone who is a Catholic, he or she is automatically excluded from the line of succession.However, their descendants are eligible to be included in the line of succession.

Moreover, on 28 October 2011, during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, Australia, Prime Minister David Cameron proposed changes to the law governing succession to the Throne which was broadly adopted by all of the 16 nations of which the Queen is Sovereign. The proposed legislation, if ratified by each of these governments, would not only ensure that the principle of primogeniture be applied (irrespective of sex), but also enable the Monarch to marry a practising Catholic, though the Sovereign would still need to be a confirmed Member of the Church of England, since he or she is temporal head of that church, and upon coronation takes a vow to be "Defender of the Faith", ie Anglicanism.
