Explanation

Under male-preference primogeniture rules in place until 2013, sons took precedence over daughters regardless of birth order. Queen Elizabeth II's children are Charles (eldest), Anne, Andrew, and Edward (youngest). This placed Anne last in succession: Charles (1st), Andrew (2nd), Edward (3rd), Anne (4th).
