This list shows the line of succession for England as at 10 March 2010. To see a different line, use the Search Criteria at the bottom of the page.
At the top of the list should be the current monarch on that date. If you happen to have specified one of the few dates on which there was no reigning monarch, the most recent monarch before that date will be shown.
On 24 June 1701, the English Act of Settlement received Royal Assent. This stipulated that, after Anne and her direct heirs, the succession should pass to the Electress Sophia of Hanover (a granddaughter of James I, and mother of the future George I) and her heirs; it also excluded anyone who was a Catholic, and anyone who had married a Catholic.
Italicised names, with no position, represent those who are excluded from the succession; when you rest your cursor on one of these names, a small label should appear containing the reason for the exclusion (please note that this feature may not work in all versions of all browsers).
