After the birth of the Sussex's second child, the Queen's son the Duke of York, Andrew, will be bumped to ninth in the line of succession. Another long-held rule that was tossed out in stipulated that no heir could assume the throne if he or she were married to a Roman Catholic.
But because one of the duties of the British monarch is to head the Church of England, even today, no Roman Catholic can hold the crown. In a interview, Prince Charles caused a royal kerfuffle when he stated that he would rather be seen as a "defender of faiths," including Catholicism and other religions, according to CNN. Another form of inheritance is known as ultimogeniture, in which the last-born child again, usually a male inherits the lands and titles of his parents.
Ultimogeniture is sometimes used to compensate the youngest son for remaining in the home longer and caring for his elderly parents. It was practiced in a handful of medieval European realms and in certain Japanese dynasties. Strict primogeniture and ultimogeniture are relatively rare; in most cases, all male and female heirs are provided with some share or lands, titles or other rewards, even if they don't inherit a royal crown.
