列支敦士登宣布改革王室继承法则，将继承制度从男性优先改为绝对长子继承制[1]。这意味着今后无论性别，长子女都将成为王位继承人，进而成为列支敦士登的公主或王子[1]。现任继承人艾洛伊斯王储表示，这一法律变化旨在"确保列支敦士登和皇室由最有准备承担此责任的人领导"[1]。
该改革将适用于艾洛伊斯王储及其妻子苏菲王储妃的四个孩子的后代[1]。列支敦士登国君汉斯-亚当二世自1989年以来统治该国，艾洛伊斯王储在过去二十年执行大部分王室公务[1]。
Liechtenstein has announced a fundamental change to its royal succession rules, replacing male primogeniture with absolute primogeniture to permit women to ascend to the throne [1]. Under the new system, the first-born child, regardless of gender, will become heir to the throne and eventually serve as princess or prince of Liechtenstein [1]. Hereditary Prince Alois, the current heir who has been carrying out most royal duties for the past two decades, stated that the reform aims to ensure "that both the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Princely House are led by the person who has been best prepared for this responsibility" [1].
The change will apply to future descendants of Hereditary Prince Alois and his wife Sophie, including their four children [1]. The country, with a population of 44,000, has been ruled by Prince Hans-Adam II since 1989 [1].
