Can the Queen of England change the line of succession?
In 1701, Parliament passed the Act of Settlement. This act established the line of succession to the British throne, and the rules by which members of the Royal Family could succeed. Ever since, the line of succession has obeyed the following rules:
1) The Monarch's children are the first in line, with all boys preceding all girls, and after that from eldest to youngest.
2) No adoptions, step-children, or illegitimate children can succeed.
3) Only current members of the Anglican church can succeed.
4) No one who has ever been a Catholic can succeed.
Recently, just before the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son, Prince George, a rule change was made: children of the Monarch are now placed in the line of succession by age alone, irrespective of gender. In other words, the eldest is first-in-line and the youngest is last-in-line among any given set of royal children, regardless of gender. The rule does not affect already-living Royal Family members; Prince George was the first Royal child for whom the rule could have been significant.
The Monarch cannot change the order of succession, or supersede any rules set forth by the Act of Settlement (she cannot, for example, allow a Catholic to succeed her) without Parliament passing another act.
