Succession To The Thrones
She is second in the line of succession to the Dutch throne, and because the crown of the Netherlands devolves upon the eldest child regardless of sex, she will not be replaced in the line of succession by any future son of her father. So, providing her father and grandmother, the Queen, predecease her or abdicate and she does not marry without permission of Parliament, she will become Queen regnant of the Netherlands.
She is also 868th in the line of succession to the British throne, as she is a descendant of King George II through his granddaughter, Princess Augusta, who was also a sister of King George III (George III and Augusta's father predeceased George II). In accordance with the British Act of Settlement 1701, her father was removed from the line of succession to the British throne after he married a Roman Catholic.

Famous quotes containing the words succession and/or thrones:
“We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We imagine much more appropriately an artisan on his toilet seat or on his wife than a great president, venerable by his demeanor and his ability. It seems to us that they do not stoop from their lofty thrones even to live.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
