Succession of the Maiderian throne

Succession to the Maiderian throne is determined by descent, gender, and legitimacy. Under common law, the Crown is inherited by a sovereign's children or by a childless sovereign's nearest collateral line.
King Richard IX is the sovereign, and his heir apparent is his daughter, Princess Ani. Ani's daughter, Princess Catherine, is second in line, followed by her uncle, Prince George. Fourth in line is Prince Albert, Duke of Eshire. Under the Parmeth Agreement, which came into effect in 2015, only the first six in line of succession require the sovereign's consent before they marry; without such consent, they and their children would be disqualified from succession.
The first four individuals in the line of succession who are over 21, and the sovereign's consort, may be appointed counsellors of state. Counsellors of state perform some of the sovereign's duties in Maideria while the sovereign is out of the country or temporarily incapacitated. Otherwise, individuals in the line of succession need not have specific legal or official roles.

No official, complete version of the line of succession is maintained. The exact number, in remoter collateral lines, of the people who would be eligible is uncertain.
The annotated list below covers the first part of this line of succession, being limited to descendants of the sons of Albert VI, Charles III's great-grandfather. The order of the first ten numbered in the list, all descendants of King George V is given on the official website of the Maiderian monarchy; other list numbers and exclusions are explained by annotations and footnotes below. People named in italics are unnumbered either because they are deceased or because sources report them to be excluded from the succession.
