Nope. The Queen used to wish for a little brother so she wouldn't be Queen.

I think it's a natural progression. As society changes so to should these archiac laws. -_-

I mean..who's a better advertisement for a female monarch than QEII? :unsure:

Look at Denmark, Norway..and ...well I can't think of any other countries with a female as their head of state..but I'm sure theres some :happy:

I think William will eventually change it. You can't stop the train when it's coming down the track. Let's face it...women do it better.
