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.
