She is in the line of succession to the British Throne as she is a direct descendent of Duchess Augusta of Brunswick, elder sister of King George III. In accordance with the British Act of Settlement 1701, her father was removed from the line of succession after he married a Roman Catholic. [edit] Ancestry
