Is it true that HM The Queen has agreed to allow the Government to change the laws of succession to the throne?
No, it isn’t true. The only thing which Her Majesty has done is to agree to allow discussion of the issue (whereby the right of succession passes to the eldest child of the sovereign regardless of gender, that is, females would have the same right of succession as males). Neither Parliament nor the Queen have decided to do anything beyond discussing the issue. For additional information, see various issues of the “Electronic Telegraph” (the online version of “The Daily Telegraph” newspaper) including those of 13 February 1997 (issue 629) and 28 February 1998 (issue 1009).
