1-The Sovereign.

2-The Duke of Edinburgh. A royal warrant of 15 September 1952 decreed that he should take precedence immediately after his wife and Sovereign ‘except where otherwise provided by Act of Parliament'. In the Parliament Roll he is positioned as the most junior of the dukes in the peerage of the United Kingdom inasmuch as his dukedom was only created in 1947. This reflects the provisions of Henry VIII's act of 1539.

3-The Queen Mother.

4-The Prince of Wales, or the eldest son of the Sovereign if not yet created Prince of Wales.

5-The Princess of Wales, where such exists.

6-The Duke of York.

7-The Duchess of York, where a current wife of the Duke of York exists.

8-Prince Edward.

9-The Princess Royal. (Capt Tim Laurence derives no official position in the table of precedence from his wife, but in practice if he were attending a function with her he would be assigned a precedence commensurate with hers.)

10-The grandsons of the Sovereign, in order of age if born of the same two parents, and according to the laws of primogeniture generally. Thus Prince William would take precedence of:

11-Prince Harry.

12-Princess Beatrice of York.

13-Princess Eugenie of York.

14-Peter Phillips.

15-Zara Phillips.

16-Princess Margaret.

17-The Sovereign's uncles, where such exist.

18-The Sovereign's uncles' wives, now represented only by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester.

19-Viscount Linley, as the Sovereign's nephew.

20-Viscountess Linley.

21-Lady Sarah Chatto, as the Sovereign's niece.

22-Samuel Chatto, as the Sovereign's great-nephew.

23-The Duke of Gloucester.

24-The Duchess of Gloucester.

25-The Duke of Kent. Future Dukes of Gloucester and Kent of the present creations, i.e., the present Earls of Ulster and St Andrews respectively, together with their eldest male children, if any, and the latter's eldest male children and so on, will have precedence above the other non-royal Dukes but beneath the two Archbishops and the Great Officers of State, in accordance with the precedent of 1439. The position of the Earl of St Andrews in the Table of Precedence is not affected by his having married a Roman Catholic. Mutatis mutandis with Prince Michael of Kent.

26-The Duchess of Kent.

27-Prince Michael of Kent. In the orders of precedence of 1479 and c 1490 the younger sons of Dukes of the Blood Royal were placed below the eldest sons of Marquesses and above the younger sons of Marquesses respectively. In 1840, when PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE had become 21 and was within a few years of succeeding his father ADOLPHUS (GEORGE III's 7th son) as DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, he was assigned precedence before the Archbishop of Canterbury and after all the other members of the Royal Family covered by HENRY VIII's Act of 1539.

28-Princess Michael of Kent.

29-Princess Alexandra.
