Commonwealth ends male heir rule

Commonwealth rulers agreed to end the centuries old rule of favouring males over females in the line of succession to the British monarchy. In the future the first born (male or female) will be the heir to the throne, not the first born male. In addition it is now allowed for monarchs to be married to people from any religion, including Roman Catholocism.
