A number of the Royal family are Catholics, Lord Nicholas, whose mother Katherine, the Duchess of Kent converted to Catholicism in the 90's, converted in 2001 and became ineligible to inherit the throne. The Succession to the Crown Act of 2013 means that marrying a Catholic no longer invalidates your position as heir to the throne, however, the heir, himself (or herself) must still be Anglican. There was some news in the headlines that Kate Middleton was a Catholic when she married Prince William, the Prince of Cambridge, who at the moment is second in line to the throne after his father, Charles, the Prince of Wales; but I can find no truth to this rumor.

If the parents are not Catholic, and they do not wish for their children to become Catholic, then pressure on the child may cause strain in the relationship. Being largely unequal in the relationship, a top down scenario if you will with the parents at the top, then while the parents may be strained, the child is likely to be heavily stressed.If you are the child looking to convert to Catholicism, by all means study the religion, get as much information as you can and make an informed decision. Then, talk to your parents and try to explain to them why you've made this decision. If they resist still, you have your whole life ahead of you.
