The line of succession for the British monarchy is determined by primogeniture, whereby the eldest son of the incumbent inherits the throne, the line of succession then follows the descendants of the person in line before going on to consider their siblings. Sons are always considered before daughters. Only Protestant descendants of Electress
Sophia of Hanover are eligible to inherit the throne.
Anyone who is a Roman Catholic or who marries one is excluded from the throne. They have been noted below as "skipped".
