Liechtenstein: gender equality for succession to the throne
Liechtenstein has adopted gender equality for succession to the throne, according to Le Monde. This reform affects how power is transmitted in the principality. The constitutional monarchy is led by sovereign prince Hans-Adam II, who has held this position since 1989. His son, Crown Prince Alois, serves as regent and manages the day-to-day affairs of Liechtenstein since 2004. This equality measure marks an important step in the principality's institutional development.
