    Actually, itâ??s even less likely than the other posts. According to the Act of Succession (Various parts of it) in order to be in line for the Throne, you must meet the following criteria;

    You can not be Roman Catholic
    You can not be married to a Roman Catholic
    You must be in communion with The Church of England
    You must be a descendant of the Electress Sophia

    These are just *SOME* of the â??qualificationsâ?? you need.

    While it isnâ??t impossible that you are in line, itâ??s EXTREMELY unlikely. HRH The Duke of Edinburgh himself is actually 496th in line for the Throne in his own right, so that gives you some idea of just how far down the line you might be!
