Custom byline text:
It is a marriage that would not have been considered possible only a few years ago – for William’s father for example – and the fact that it is possible now is a great advance and evidence that this is a more modern Royal marriage and a more modern relationship. However, should Kate and William have a child, and should that child happen to be a girl, we would see another side to this supposedly modernising institution. We would see, in fact, that a system that gives preference to men, a system hardwired into the constitution for 300 years, is still very much in place.
