crown prince

The heir to the throne of a crown prince. Generally, they are the children or close relatives of the monarch, also known as Prince, crown prince, Emperor's heir, etc.

In general, when the heir to the throne dies, he is inherited by the eldest son (daughter). If the eldest son (daughter) has no heir, he is inherited by the second son (daughter) or successor of the monarch. If the monarch has no children, his younger brother (sister) will inherit it. Once they have the right of succession to the throne, they are called crown princes. In some countries, the right of succession to the throne is stipulated by the Constitution and the law.

For example, the British Parliament passed the law of succession to the throne in 1701, which stipulated the conditions of succession to the throne and arranged the order of succession to exclude the possibility of restoration of Catholic kings. At the same time, there is the principle that men are prior to women.

The constitution of the kingdom of Norway stipulates that the king must believe in evangelical Lutheranism and uphold Lutheranism. According to the law of succession to the throne, only male heirs born in a legal marriage are entitled to inherit. Inheritance depends on the distance of lineage and the order of age. According to the original law of succession to the throne in Norway, women can not inherit the throne. But in 1990, Norway amended the law of succession to the throne, clearing the way for women to succeed to the throne. Crown prince hakang's eldest daughter will inherit the throne. At that time, she was not only the first female monarch to rule the country in six centuries, but also the first female monarch born in Norway.

Under the condition of polygamy by emperors in ancient China, the system of direct eldest son inheritance was once carried out, which was difficult to be strictly carried out due to various reasons.
