Status
She is the only one of Princess Caroline's four children who bears any style or title. She is presently fifth in the line of succession to the Monegasque throne. Through her father, she is included in the line of succession to the British throne. However, because the British Act of Settlement declares that no dynast may marry a Roman Catholic and retain a right of succession, her father automatically forfeited his eligibility for the British crown upon his marriage to the Catholic Princess Caroline. However, this has no effect on the rights of Princess Alexandra, because her parents have raised her as a Protestant.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
