European princesses now equal heirs
After the death of King Harald V, Europe was distinguished by the transfer of the Norwegian throne to King Haakon, leading to an equal number of women and men in line for the throne across Europe. There are now five princesses awaiting their turn, alongside five male monarchs. One of the most notable changes is that Princess Ingrid Alexandra, aged 22, has become the heir to the throne under the system of absolute primogeniture, making her the first Norwegian queen in over 600 years, as this position traditionally remained reserved for men. The changes also include the selection of the future queen from women in other European countries, such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom, reflecting historical shifts in the line of succession in the region.
