Although it is said that it has entered the 21st century, in countries with a constitutional monarchy, the princesses of the royal family are still the focus of attention. As the darlings of fairy tales, these princesses are almost synonymous with beauty, kindness and nobility. However, the Spanish princess to be talked about today not only has all the above beautiful vocabulary, she will also be the queen of Spain in the future, but to become a queen, she must also meet the following conditions. So, why are these conditions?
Why didnโt Spain change the law?
As one of the few countries that retain the monarchy, Spanish law also follows the past traditions, and this is the first-class order of succession of men to the throne is superior to women, as of the 21st century, Spain has not The reasons for improving this law are very complicated.
And this law can be traced back to 1978. It was through reference to the then "Law of Succession to the Throne" that Prince Felipe became the first heir to the Spanish throne. In fact, it was before Prince Felipe. There are two sisters. If one were to inherit the throne in the order of birth, then Felipe would never have his turn.
In fact, the Spanish royal family has gone through a period of turbulence, and Spain has only been free from dictatorship for more than 40 years. Therefore, many parliamentarians believe that the current "Law of Succession to the Throne" will Provide some stability to Spanish politics.
Therefore, if you want to amend this law, so far seems to be a relatively difficult thing. Because this law also involves matters related to the royal family, including inheritance rules.
What are the requirements for changing the law?
To change the content of this law requires the following conditions: 1. Approval of the parliament to amend this law, but a multi-vote system is required, which means that more than two-thirds of the people need to agree to the next step.
2. Abolish the old "Law of Succession to the Throne" and immediately revise the new "Law of Succession to the Throne". 3. After the new "Law of Succession to the Throne" was promulgated, it was voted through by the Spanish Parliament and again passed by a majority vote, that is, more than two-thirds of the people passed the new "Law of Succession to the Throne."
4. Finally, a referendum will be held to determine whether the new "Law of Succession to the Throne" can be passed.
Spain had the intention to amend the law
In 2005, Felipe had his first child, but this child was a girl, that is, Princess Leonor. The birth of the princess
made people re-examine whether the "Law of Succession to the Throne" was outdated. At that time, the main political forces and the Spanish people believed that the "Law of Succession to the Throne" that gave priority to men was out of fashion.
Princess Leonor should be the first person to inherit the throne, rather than choosing between men and women. The Spanish government also heard the voice of the people, and proposed the following agreements based on the original "Law of Succession to the Throne": 1. The new "Law of Succession to the Throne" still applies to Prince Felipe, because he was the throne at the time. An order heir, and his two sisters were excluded for historical reasons. 2. Felipe's first child will become the first heir to the throne regardless of male or female.
In 2008, the Spanish Parliament discussed this agreement, but this matter began to become complicated, because some political parties wanted to take the opportunity to add other reform projects, so other content was added to the agreement, which was complicated. Under the circumstances, this agreement was not passed.
In addition, Princess Letizia gave birth to a second daughter at the time, and they seemed to have no intention of wanting children anymore. Therefore, the revision of the "Law of Succession to the Throne" has become an urgent matter.
Will Princess Leonor become the Queen of Spain?
No coincidence is a book. In 2008, there was a scandal in Spain. Among the members of the royal family involved, only Felipe did not participate, which also made Felipe won the favor of everyone.
However, the "Law of Succession to the Throne" is still a stumbling block in front of Princess Leonor. Princess Leonor is only the temporary first heir to the Spanish throne, because apart from her sister Sofia, she never stops. There are no other brothers and sisters.
and Queen Letizia is 47 years old this year. Although she is not very old, it seems unlikely that she wants to have another child. On another level, even if the "Law of Succession to the Throne" cannot be changed, she may still become the future queen of Spain.
Although it is not impossible for Spain to move towards a republic, with the success of the handover of the old and new kings, Felipe's low-key and positive image has also won public opinion.
And Felipe has always been cautious, low-key, and modest. According to the survey, most people in Spain are also very supportive of a constitutional monarchy, which shows that Felipe has a high approval rate. Therefore, it is impossible for Spain to change the system in a short time, and Princess Leonor is very likely to succeed. And became the Queen of Spain.
