In 1980 Sweden adopted equal primogeniture, meaning that the eldest child of the monarch, regardless of gender, takes precedence, with children taking precedence over grandchildren. Sweden had previously (since 1810) used agnatic primogeniture, meaning that only males could inherit the throne. See also: Order of succession
