Princess Alexandra of Hanover has been removed from the British line of succession according to Point de Vue-magazine.
The 19-year-old daughter of Prince Ernst August of Hanover and Princess Caroline of Monaco recently converted to Catholicism, which disqualifies her from being in the British Royal lineage.

Princess Alexandra is the 12th in line to the Monegasque throne.
She grew up as a Lutheran – in line with her father’s side of the family – but she recently converted to the religion of her mother, who has been Catholic all her life.
Because the British monarch is also the head of the Church of England, monarchic rules prohibit a monarch from a Catholic or other non-Protestant faith.

The City Council commits to Monaco’s energy transition

The ceremony was attended by Marie-Pierre Gramaglia, Government Counselor-Minister of Equipment, Environment and Urbanism, Annabelle Jaeger-Seydoux, Director of the Mission for Energy Transition, of Marjorie Crovetto-Harroch, Deputy Mayor, Delegate to the Framework of Life, Environment and Sustainable Development, members of the Communal Council and Heads of Municipal Services.
“The commitment of Monaco City Council is a strong signal to our compatriots. Through the commitments you make, you can set an example and lead the way towards energy transition,” said Marie-Pierre Gramaglia.
As a reminder, the National Pact, set up last January, aims at the commitment of the Monegasque community to achieve the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets.
The target is, by 2030, to achieve 50% of the 1990 of carbon emissions, and, by 2015, to be carbon neutral. HSH the Sovereign Prince, followed by His Government, were the first signatories of the National Pact, which now has more than 500 members.
