News from Liechtenstein indicates that the country will gradually change its succession system to an absolute primogeniture system. In this system, the future prince or princess, regardless of gender, will inherit the throne.

This change not only represents Liechtenstein's progress but also reflects the gradual adoption of fair succession systems by countries around the world.
