Most of the first generation of illegitimate children on this table are all legitimatio per matrimonium subsequens or legitimated by subsequent marriage. Under British law, they and their descendants are excluded from the line of succession. In some cases they are also excluded from other titles. Other monarchies are different. Monaco, for instance recognises children so legitimated as eligible for the throne. Suspected illegitimate children not openly acknowledged by members of the family are not included in the table.

The Catholics are from the Duke of Kent's (#37) family.

  • The Duke's wife converted to Catholicism decades after they were married. Her later conversion did not exclude him.
  • Their oldest son, George Windsor (#38), married his Catholic wife in 1988 and was thereby excluded until 2015, when the Perth Agreement was implemented. Two of his three children are Catholics. Only Lady Amelia Windsor (#39) is still in the line, but it is presumed that she will follow the lead of her siblings and parents and be confirmed [in the Catholic faith] when she is older and hence will be excluded from succession.
  • Their second son, Lord Nicholas Windsor, converted to Catholicism, married his wife in the Vatican, and his three children are baptised Catholics.

The Duke's brother, Prince Michael of Kent, married his Catholic wife in 1978 and was thereby excluded until 2015. His children were raised in communion with the Anglican church and have always been eligible.

Descendants of Edward VII

The House of Windsor was created from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a minor branch of the House of Wettin). Officially, Edward VII was the only British monarch to rule as a member of this house. George V is considered to be a member of the House of Windsor. The 6 living descendants of Lady Maud Duff are considered part of the extended British Royal family.
