The inheritance rule that meant Lady Louise Windsor was leapfrogged by her younger brother to become Earl of Wessex is “unfair”, it has been claimed.
Lady Helen Nall, wife of Sir Edward Nall, is fuming at the law of primogeniture which means titles are passed down the male line and ignore any women.
As a result of the rule, which has been in place since Norman times, Lady Louise’s younger brother has succeeded Prince Edward as the Earl of Windsor.
