Princess Anne, although the Queen’s eldest daughter, has no immediate claim to the throne.

While the royal line might suggest she would take over if her brother couldn’t, protocol prohibits this.

Archaic rules weighed against women on Anne’s birth in 1950, which meant they could not claim the throne as long as there was a male heir.

As such, the Princess cannot become Queen, and lags at 14th in line to the throne, behind her two younger brothers.
