    Yes he will but as Anne comes after all her brothers and their children in the succession that makes him currently #11 which is not exactly much chance in the first place.

    Under a non male preference primogeniture system he would have been third in line. Under the Royal Marriages Act he would theoretically have needed the Monarch's permission if he was under the age of 25 which he isn't

    We do have some amazing antiquated laws.

    I think I recall reading that he did ask, and that permission was granted by the Queen in Privy Council.

    There is a neat news story on Scotland on TV about the opening of the center and it shows the two young lads that won the contest. They were kilted at the opening!
