Victoria Ribeiro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victoria Lorentzen Ribeiro (born December 19, 1988) is a member of Norway's royal family but under the country's succession law she is not in line to the throne. She was born in Brazil and is the daughter of Ingeborg Lorentzen and Paolo Cesar Ribeiro Filho and is the great-granddaughter of the late King of Norway, Olav V. Though not in line to succeed the Norwegian throne, Victoria Ribeiro is in line for the British throne though quite far down the list (currently 72nd). Victoria Ribeiro's father is a Catholic and her mother, Ingeborg, lost her claim to the British throne under the Act of Settlement 1701 which excludes Catholics and those who marry them from the British line of succession. If Victoria Ribeiro declares herself a Catholic or marries a Catholic she too will be excluded from the British line of succession.
