"VADUZ, Liechtenstein – Liechtenstein has changed its royal succession rules to allow women to inherit the throne, ending a system that gave male heirs priority.

The change was announced on the central European country’s national day on Friday. Okay News reports that under the new rules, the first-born child will inherit the throne regardless of sex.

The House of Liechtenstein said the succession system was changing from male primogeniture to absolute primogeniture, meaning a first-born daughter will have the same right to inherit as a first-born son.

The change will not immediately alter the succession line. The current ruler, Prince Hans-Adam II, is expected to be succeeded by his eldest son, Hereditary Prince Alois, who has carried out most official duties for about two decades.

The new rule will instead apply to the descendants of Alois and his wife, Hereditary Princess Sophie. The couple have four children."
