From Richard Kay's column in the DM:
QuotePaola's a new royal mum

With their first wedding anniversary fast approaching, Lord Nicholas Windsor and his pretty wife Paola have much to celebrate.

For Paola, 38, has given birth to their first child - a boy named Albert after Queen Victoria's consort.

Albert, who arrived 12 days ago when Cambridge-educated Paola gave birth at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, is 26th in line to the throne - but only until he is baptised as a Roman Catholic.

Then, like his father, who six years ago emulated his mother the Duchess of Kent by converting to Catholicism, Albert will forfeit his royal succession. Albert is also the first royal descendant of George V to bear the surname Windsor but no courtesy title.

I am told Lord Nicholas, 37, dotes on Albert, who is the Kents' eighth grandchild. Last November, he became the first royal to marry in the Vatican for 400 years after the Queen gave special permission for him to wed the Croatian-born Paola.

That article cannot be entirely correct, can it?

QuoteAlbert, who arrived 12 days ago when Cambridge-educated Paola gave birth at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, is 26th in line to the throne - but only until he is baptised as a Roman Catholic.

I thought the fact the father was a Catholic and therefore disqualified from the line of succession meant that his offspring were also automatically ineligible to succeed to the throne, especially since the father was Catholic before the child was born?

My first thought was because it wasn't baptised yet that kept him in the line of succession, but I thought the same thing at first.

If the child is baptised in the Church of England, he will be 26th in line to the throne after Lady Amelia Windsor, daughter of the Earl of St. Andrews skipping his father Lord Nicholas Windsor, son of the Duke of Kent. Just because his father gave up his claim to the throne does not mean he will too unless of course he is baptised Catholic

Thanks, I didn't know that. So if William marries a Catholic then he and his offspring are no longer in the running (since the throne goes to Harry), but it's the reverse for the other minor royals? I'm still confused.

And I doubt whether a couple who married in the Vatican are for one minute contemplating the idea of a family baptized in the Anglican faith.

The de facto line, not the de jure.

I like the fact that Master Albert has the first name of Albert. This is a name that Queen Victoria hoped would be given to males in the Royal Family for generations.

Awful name.  Really Victorian, and always reminds me of the priggish "Albert the Good"
