Danish Act of Succession

The Danish Act of Succession is a legal framework that determines who can inherit the Danish throne. Established in 1953, it allows for both male and female heirs, promoting gender equality in royal succession. The Act outlines the eligibility criteria for inheritance, stating that only descendants of the current monarch can ascend to the throne. It also mandates that the Crown Prince or Crown Princess must be of Danish nationality. The Act reflects modern values while preserving the historical continuity of the Danish monarchy.
