Succession to the Crown Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Trefgarne (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 March 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Succession to the Crown Bill.

My Lords, I, too, broadly support the principle behind the amendment, but I ask my noble and learned friend about a related matter which I raised in Committee but did not get a full and clear answer. Is it in order and open to the sovereign to confer on his or her eldest daughter the princessdom, if I may call it that, of Wales? We know that the princedom of Wales is in the gift of the sovereign—my noble and learned friend explained that at the previous stage, but he was not clear whether it could go through the female line if that was the wish and view of the sovereign of the day. I hope that he can help me with that.
