Liechtenstein Allows Women to Inherit Royal Throne for First Time in Centuries

Liechtenstein has amended its succession rules to allow women to inherit the royal throne for the first time in centuries. Hereditary Prince Alois announced the historic change during his speech on the country's national day. The reform was formally approved on Wednesday by a two-thirds majority of eligible family members, meeting the required threshold for such a constitutional change. The move marks a significant shift in the principality's centuries-old tradition of male-only succession.
