How to use primogeniture in a sentence?
If the Queen had not issued a Letters Patent in 2012, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis would now be styled as the children of a Duke, the 2012 Letters Patent was a reflection of the then upcoming changes to the Succession to the Crown Act, which in 2013 ended the system of male primogeniture, and meant that Princess Charlotte kept Princess Charlotte place in the line of succession when Princess Charlotte younger brother was born.
In really early wills, the law of primogeniture was still in effect, which basically said that your oldest son is going to inherit everything. In some of those wills, he wouldn't even be mentioned because it was just assumed he was oing to get everything.
