Browsing through dozens of articles about Princess Charlene of Monaco, who has just announced that she is carrying twins, I saw there was a lot of confusion about which one would become Prince of Monaco, taking over after Albert steps down or dies. (Of course this could happen in an untimely fashion, in which case it's possible that his sister Caroline would step in.)
I found the definitive article!
CONSTITUTIONCENTER.ORG MONACOS TWIN SUCCESSION
EXCERPT:
If the twins are both boys, the first child born becomes the heir to the throne, with his twin brother as heir presumptive.
If the twins are a boy and a girl, the boy becomes heir, regardless of if he is born first or second. His sister is heir presumptive unless her parents have another child who is a boy in the future.
If the twins are both girls, the first child born becomes the heir to the throne, with his twin sister as heir presumptive – unless or until another boy comes along. Then the younger boy becomes the heir to the throne.

PRINCESS CHARLENE OF MONACO IRISH ANCESTRY JUST LIKE PRINCESS GRACE!
INDEPENDENT: PRINCESS CHARLENE MONACO IRISH ANCESTRY REVEALED
I am rooting for Princess Charlene! She converted to Catholicism, married Prince Albert II, a confirmed bachelor till she did, and now she is due to give birth to her first child and a heir to the throne (so to speak) who will be mostly of Irish heritage since Princess Grace, the mother of Albert was an Irish-American. Though she is accomplished and lovely, she seems to always be attacked by the press and I'm sorry, but the Royal Family of Monaco can be difficult. Like other high profile Princesses she dare not step outside without a fabulous up-to-the-minute-but-age-and-station-in-life appropriate wardrobe and that is the total focus on someone who has so much more to contribute.
For instance she had the nerve to CRY at her wedding! So what! I cry witnessing weddings too! Many brides are overwhelmed by their weddings and emotional about moving their love into a life long commitment.
FROM THE ARTICLE!
"The research, carried out by genealogy researchers Eneclann for Tourism Ireland, shows that Princess Charlene descends from one of the most successful gentlemen-merchant families in Dublin in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Fagans made a number of enduring contributions to the development of Dublin. In 1592, Richard and Christopher Fagan, the Princess’s great (x12) grandfathers, were key figures in the foundation of Trinity College; and in the 1660s, Christopher Fagan, the Princess’s great (x9) grandfather, sold the manor of Phoenix to the Duke of Ormond to create a royal deer park – which we know today as the Phoenix Park.
Yesterday, Princess Charlene was presented with a Certificate of Irish Heritage by HE Rory Montgomery, Irish Ambassador to France, in the Prince’s Palace in Monaco, with her husband, Prince Albert, also in attendance."
