‘What queens would England have had if firstborn daughters, not firstborn sons, had inherited the throne?<\/p>\n

We may think of princesses as dutiful and elegant, wearing long flowing dresses, but the eldest daughters of England\u2019s kings have been very different.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s meet them.’<\/p>\n
