    In 2013, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands stepped down and handed the throne to her son, Willem Alexander. In 2022 Queen Elizabeth II of the UK died at the age of 96 and her son, Charles III inherited the throne. And on January 14th, 2024, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark abdicated in favor of her son, Frederik X. In just over 10 years, the world has gone from three accomplished, popular and long reigning Queens Regnant to zero. That’s right, there are no female monarchs anywhere in the world. The future may be female, but not in the archaic system of hereditary monarchy. However there are several female heirs waiting in succession lines to be the next great Queen regnant. Let’s take a look at which monarchies even allow women to occupy their thrones, and count down from those which will have to wait a few generations before getting a female sovereign, to those which are just one heartbeat, or abdication away from welcoming the World’s next Queen Regnant.
    11. Luxembourg - No women in direct succession
    10. Bhutan - Sonam Yangdento, 3rd in line, cadet
    9. Tonga - Princess Halaevalu, Princess Nanasipau’u and Princess Salote, all cadet
    8. The United Kingdom & Commonwealth Realms - Princess Charlotte, 3rd in line, cadet
    7. Monaco - Princess Gabriella, 2nd in line, cadet
    6. Denmark Princess Isabella, 2nd in line, cadet
    5. Norway - Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 2nd in line, direct succession
    4. Spain - Leonor, Princess of Asturias, heir to the throne
    3. The Netherlands - Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, heir to the throne
    2. Belgium - Princess Elisabeth, heir to the throne
    1. Sweden - Crown Princess Victoria, heir to the throne, Princess Estelle, 2nd in line, direct succession
    Wild Cards:
    Andorra - Could have elected Princess any time, next election 2027
    Thailand - King Rama X will name heir, Princess Bajrakitiyabha is a contender

Cause hello japanese male heirs are disappearing so 🤷‍♂️ . I mean her grandfather,the former emperor, abdicated the throne and broke the law instead of serving for life. Anything can still happen , they just need to change succession laws before girl gets married (and dethroned of royal titles ☠️). And even if she doesn’t become one I really hope her cousin can break the law soon cause man get pressuring to bear a son is just 😑 .

    As a fan of your channel from Thailand, I’m so delighted to hear this story here. Furthermore, I’d like to give you more information about Thai royal family’s line of succession.
    - According to the 1923 act of succession, which was legislated by King Rama VI and is still active today, female royals were prohibited to take the throne. The reason is that it was unlikely to have a queen regnant at that time. But time flies, and the constitution has the highest rank of law. We may see a woman to wear the crown in the future. This act also determines other interesting things, for example a male royal who marries a foreign woman must be excluded from the succession. It will be affected to his future descendants. Or a female royal must resign from the royal family and loses all of royal titles, if she wants to marry a man with lower rank.
    - The King’s younger sister, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (Wikipedia calls her Princess Royal), gets more popular than her brother, because the people think that she lives a very simple life, follows her father’s footsteps and is the hardest working royal. So she may be a good choice to become queen, if the king dies or abdicates.
    - Vacharaeson’s visit to Thailand in almost 30 years surprised us all and usually stays in spotlight. It is believed that he still never met his father and sister.
    - In Thai history, we have one abdication. King Rama VII abdicated in 1934, only two years after the Siamese Revolution. He remained in the UK until his death in 1941.

    The Bhutanese rule about abdication was news to me. Thank you, I like learning something new. As for King Harald V of Norway, he has sadly been a lot in and out of hospital recently (including right now) but seems to be in great spirits, and Crown Prince Haakon seamlessly steps in as regent whenever needed as the Norwegian rules on a temporary regency are very relaxed (all you need is basically a doctor’s note).

  • @AnnaLenaGbg
    @AnnaLenaGbg 2 месяца назад +41

    I am Swedish and I believe that King Carl XVI Gustaf will continue for at least ten more years. Partly because no Bernadotte Regent has abdicated (as Lindsey said) but also because he is healthy, strong and he really loves his job. But above all because he and the queen know how tough it is to be king and queen while having small children. (After all, all other modern-day regents have been crown princes/princesses for so long that their children have at least reached their teenage years before becoming regents) Victoria and her siblings have also publicly mentioned that they found it difficult that their parents were so busy and often absent when they where kids.

  • @mehere8299
    @mehere8299 2 месяца назад +44

    The UK doesn't have a tradition of honourable abdication because the Commonwealth intentionally made it very difficult for a sovereign to abdicate after Edward VIII's abdication. To abdicate, the sovereign must obtain the permission/consent of the Parliaments of all eight of the fifteen Commonwealth realms who have the right to chime in, the legislatures of all the Australian states, and the legislatures of all the Canadian provinces.
    No one seems to understand this. It's the law. It isn't optional, and they can't get around it unless they change the law.
    An heir cannot abdicate. They can however make themselves unqualified for the throne by converting to Roman Catholicism.

    • @mehere8299
      @mehere8299 2 месяца назад +18

      And I should add that obtaining the consent means putting a bill through every one of these parliaments and legislatures, which in itself would likely take months if not years. The recent changes to the succession didn’t have to clear the Canadian provincial legislatures, and still it took *four years* for the bills allowing them to pass everywhere.

    • @annbsirius1703

      I feel that should Charles decide to abdicate down the road he would get permission even if took a bit of time and trouble. He's already past the age of retirement, he's not the icon his mother was after 70 years on the throne and William is very popular.

    • @DylanSargesson
      @DylanSargesson 25 дней назад +1

      Realistically if the King wanted to abdicate they'd move the legislation through the Parliaments much quicker. Especially depending on what the reasons were no Parliament/Government would want to be the one holding it up for everybody else.
      Of course when Edward VIII abdicated the Statue of Westminster (which recognised the monarchies of the Dominions, now Commonwealth Realms, to be seperate legally) had already been instituted, and the Canadian and South African Parliaments had to pass their own Acts to make it happen.
      Ireland also took the opportunity to change their laws and moved towards abolishing the Monarchy altogether, which I could see some modern countries doing too.

      I don't know much about the whole situation, Wikipedia (which I don't trust anyway, lol) says she's still in a coma. Do a lot of people think that she passed away and the royal family has just kept their mouths shut? And why would they not want to talk about her possibly dying? Genuinely curious! If you know any of the answers to my questions, anyway :)

      The last statement about The Princess’s health was issued on January 8, 2023. There’re rumors that her brain is completely dead and she can still be alive because of medical devices. Many people believe that she’s already gone, but her father, who actually believes in fate and fortune, is not ready to let her go and finding an appropriate day to announce her death. As a Thai, I think Princess Sirivannavari has a lack of popularity and no interest in political issues. Do not overlook Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the king’s younger sister, because she’s incredibly popular among royalists!

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@doradoraemon4087That’s not possible with the current constitution of Thailand.
      The constitution said The King may choose any of his *son or daughter* as heir to the throne. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is the king’s *sister* and therefore it would be against the constitution to designated her as heir to the throne. Even if the king did not designated an heir when his reign had ended, the government must still only invite one of his son or daughter to take the throne.
      The only possible scenario is if his reign ended and there’s no surviving son or daughter… then the throne will pass to his next eldest sibling, in this case that would be Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn but this scenario is highly unlikely as the King still has many sons and daughters…

Besides, there would have been a funeral, and the king would have been personally affected, which he did not look to be.

    Here is to hoping that Leonor marries a member of the Capetian dynasty so that the House of Bourbons does not lose the throne of Spain after her time. Unlike other royal houses like Bernadotte or Windsor (where house membership go hand-in-hand with the succession to the throne), Spain is different because the House of Bourbon is part of the larger Capetian dynasty and is thus governed by the dynasty’s rules where house membership is limited to male-line descendants only.

    The Monarchies of Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands were once all part of the Duchy of Burgundy. Burgundy knew the possibility of female succession and had it in happen in 1477, when Mary took over from Charles the Bold.
    And, last not least, but probably more important with regard to that: as long as the House of Hapsburg ruled in Burgundy (later on known as Spanish/Austrian Netherlands), it was usually the task of either the eldest sister or daughter of the current Hapsburg ruler (either in Spain or Austria) to be Governor his or her stead.
    So, those countries have a long tradition of female Rule.
