Top 100 in line to the throne

By Channel 4 News

Updated on 27 March 2009

As MPs discuss the future of royal succession, Channel 4 News online details the 100 currently on the list.

MPs are today debating changing the rules which limit royal daughters' claims to the throne, and the ban on heirs marrying Catholics.

The issue was due to be raised in the House of Commons during a debate on legislation introduced by Liberal Democrat MP Evan Harris, to end the "uniquely discriminatory" rules laid down by the 1701 Act of Settlement.

Prime minister Gordon Brown has already leant his support to the idea, but as things stand, who is in line for the throne?

Channel 4 News online lists the 100 people next in the queue to replace the Queen, from Prince Charles to Princess Katarina of Yugoslavia.
