Liechtenstein alters royal inheritance laws
The ruling Liechtenstein family announced a change to the succession rules, shifting from a male-preference primogeniture system to a birth order-based system regardless of gender. This change will apply to Prince Alooís’s grandchildren and not to the current line of succession, as the family仍s still adhere to the previous system, with the impact of this on the current heirs remaining uncertain. The aim of this modification is to promote gender equality within the succession system, aligning with a broader European move toward more egalitarian monarchies. Its true effect will become apparent with the birth of future generations, who will follow the birth order regardless of gender—potentially increasing women’s chances of ascending the throne in the future.
