This paper discusses issues related to reforming the rules of succession in the UK's royal house, commenting on issues of sex and religion. It explores the UK's existing legislation on religion and succession regulated in laws like the Bill of Rights and discusses the main problems related with altering the succession to the crown, including discrimination, assent of the Commonwealth and the Queen's consent. Subsequently, the paper reviews the value of the Royal Marriages Act dating back to 1772.
