Princess Märtha Louise of Norway is the first-born of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, but she is fourth in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne because of gender-biased primogeniture. However, the royal recently revealed that she was offered a chance to change the law and become the queen.
Princess Märtha Louise was born in 1971, at a time when women were barred from inheriting the Norwegian throne. Her younger brother, Crown Prince Haakon, was born two years later and became the heir apparent to the throne. The laws of succession were eventually changed to allow absolute primogeniture in 1990, but this only applies to children born after that, so the princess is still behind her younger brother and his children in the line of succession to the throne.
