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.

“What is clear is that Christianity directed increased attention to childhood. For the first time in history it seemed important to decide what the moral status of children was. In the midst of this sometimes excessive concern, a new sympathy for children was promoted. Sometimes this meant criticizing adults. . . . So far as parents were put on the defensive in this way, the beginning of the Christian era marks a revolution in the child’s status.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
