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:
“At all events, as she, Ulster, cannot have the status quo, nothing remains for her but complete union or the most extreme form of Home Rule; that is, separation from both England and Ireland.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“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)
“Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
