  Line of succession to the Monegasque Throne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The line of succession to the Monegasque Throne passes to the descendants of the reigning Prince of Monaco in accordance with male-preference primogeniture.
The line of succession was most recently and notably modified by a constitutional change implemented by Princely Law 1.249 of April 2, 2002.
With the 2002 changes, for a biological descendent to be added to the line of succession and potentially succeed to the throne now, his or her parents must have been legally married at some point.

The line of succession is mentioned in three places in the Constitution: in Article II, Section 1, in Section 3 of the 20th Amendment, and in the 25th Amendment.
Though the statutory list of Presidential succession has only 17 officials, there are conspiracy theories about the existence of a much longer, secret list that lists hundreds of politicians, statesmen and officials, including all governors and senators.
Though it is possible a longer list could have been devised as a part of the Continuity of Operations Plan in the anticipation of nuclear war, such a list would be unlikely to have any legal or constitutional standing.

According to the accounts of historian Diodorus Siculus and geographer Strabon, the area's first permanent settlers were the mountain-dwelling Ligures, who emigrated from their native city of Genoa, Italy.
However, the ancient Ligurian language, which was apparently not European, is not connected to the Italian dialect spoken by the modern inhabitants of Liguria, nor to the modern Monegasque language.
One of the motivations for the treaty was the upcoming Monaco Succession Crisis of 1918.

 Prince - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The female form is "princess", but this is also generally used for the spouse of any Prince (of the blood, or of a principality), and also the daughter of any monarch, though in some monarchies (by law and/or tradition) the award is explicit, not automatic.
A number of nobiliary territories, carrying with them the formal style of prince, are not (or no longer) actual (political, administrative, etc. principalities, but are maintained as essentially honorary titles (though some land, income etc. may be attached to them), and are awarded traditionally (or occasionally) to princes of the blood, as an appanage.
This is done in particular for the heir to the throne (creating a de facto primogeniture), who is often awarded a particular principality in each generation, so that it becomes synonymous with the first in line for the throne, even if there is no automatic legal mechanism to do so.
