Outside of fashion, some big news recently swept the British Royal Family and its laws pertaining to the throne succession.

Though its always held that the immediate heir to the throne is the first-born son of the monarch, a new unanimously-approved amendment could make Prince William and Kate Middleton's first-born daughter queen someday.

British Prime Minister David Cameron explained, "Put simply, if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to have a little girl, that girl would one day be our queen."

During a speech, Queen Elizabeth praised the decision. "It reminds us of the potential in our societies that is yet to be fully unlocked, and it encourages us to find ways to allow girls and women to play their full part."
