Women are expected to inherit the thrones of five European countries within the next two generations. Princesses Victoria, Elisabeth, Catharina-Amalia, and Leonor are all the heirs apparent of their respective countries; Ingrid Alexandra and Estelle, meanwhile, are both second-in-line. It’s therefore probable that at some point in the near future, five queens regnant will reign concurrently in Europe.

Legal changes brought about this anticipated and unprecedented--albeit symbolic--era of female rule. In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, almost all surviving European monarchies established absolute primogeniture, meaning that the order of succession is determined by the ages of a monarch’s children regardless of their sex. Princess Elisabeth would be Belgium’s first-ever queen regnant, while Ingrid Alexandra would be Norway’s first in six hundred years.
