@thebrainypedia: Europe is about to enter a historic “Era of Queens,” something never seen before in modern times. For the first time, multiple European thrones are set to be inherited by female heirs. In Spain, Princess Leonor (born in 2005) is preparing to become the country’s first reigning queen since the 19th century. In Belgium, Princess Elisabeth (born in 2001) will be the nation’s first queen regnant. In the Netherlands, Princess Catharina-Amalia (born in 2003) is already stepping into public duties. Norway’s Princess Ingrid Alexandra (born in 2004) is the first female heir under gender-neutral succession laws. In Sweden, Crown Princess Victoria (born in 1977) has long been the heir apparent, with her daughter, Princess Estelle, next in line. This generational shift is possible because many monarchies have reformed their succession laws to establish absolute primogeniture, meaning the eldest child inherits regardless of gender. Within a generation, five major European crowns will be led by women, marking a symbolic break from centuries of male-dominated monarchy.
