Coat of Arms of Princess Eugenia of France, currently the only daughter of our King Louis XX, we shall remember that even she is a daughter of France, she is unable to succeed, and that all the Royalists shall pray for a male heir to Louis XX
We currently live in an egalitarian world, were both sexes have the same rights and obligations, this has affected the lines of succession of several Western countries, which I certainly consider to be a big failure and a potential step before the total abolition of most of the Western thrones.
I totally embrace the feminist views of equality between males and females, however when we talk about a succession to the throne, the things are really different, the Western European tradition is patrinileal and it most be kept that way and not changed through artificial means, this is not against females, many societies arround the world, mostly in Africa were matrilineal, and im sure no one is there trying to change it to be patrilineal just by a decree.
We shall just explore how the lastnames are passed from generation to generation, most Western countries have a really clear naming rules, and the lastname from the father comes first before that of the mother, it is just a cultural feature and not a way of discrimmination.
In France specially the application of the Salic Law (Only male sions of the royal blood could succeed and pass the rights to the throne) has a historical and totally rational explanation, indeed France owes its existence and integrality to the pure and rigid application of the Salic Law.
The Salic Law was applied in order to keep the throne in the hands of French princes of the royal blood, otherwise the throne should have passed in 1328 (Date of the extinction of the main line of the House of Capet) to the son of Isabella of France (Sister of king Charles IV, the last of his House), the king Edward III of England would have succeeded and most likely France would have become a vasal of England, losing eventually its autonomy, culture and nationality.
The Salic Law is totally rational and it saves France of being inherited by a foreign monarch or prince, instead if Salic Law is applicated it is ensured that the throne will be kept by the royal blood line of Hugh Capet founder of its House and of the Modern France.
Nowadays the application of Salic Law is most important than ever, if we consider that most princes are getting married to commoners and the thrones will be eventually inherited by lines of non-royal blood, for example the case of Sweden were the Crown Princess Victoria is engaged to a commoner, their issue will not belong to the House of Bernadotte (Even if the law is changed, according to genealogists and pure royalists the House of Bernadotte will stop reigning after Victoria dies), this is most critical if we consider that the current king has a male heir that was displaced of his rights by a decree of the elected authorities.
Royalists shall always embrace the principle of male-preference inheritance in the Succession of the Western thrones, and always keep in mind that the Salic Law of France is a principle of big importance that shall not be changed, we have also to pray to God, so that Louis XX may have a male heir soon.
