列支敦士登王室周六表示，这个微型国家将修改王位继承规则，以便女性未来能够继承该国的亲王爵位。
世袭亲王阿洛伊斯在该国国庆日的演讲中宣布了这一修改。他表示，规则修改已于周三获得了有权就此投票的王室成员三分之二多数的支持。
根据王室官网发布的演讲文稿，阿洛伊斯表示，此次投票将使“王室所有女性后裔都将获得与男性后裔同等的参与家族法相关事务的权利”。
“王位继承线将从男性长子继承制调整为绝对长子继承制，”阿洛伊斯说，“这意味着未来无论性别如何，第一个出生的孩子都将成为王位继承人，日后成为列支敦士登的亲王或女亲王。”
此次修改在近期内不会对王位继承顺位的顶端产生影响。
汉斯-亚当二世亲王仍是国家元首，但他在2004年将大部分权力移交给了长子阿洛伊斯，现年58岁的阿洛伊斯目前掌握实权。这符合列支敦士登君主将权力移交给继承人的传统。
阿洛伊斯的四个子女中年龄最大的是31岁的约瑟夫·文策尔亲王。
列支敦士登是一个富裕的小国，人口约4万，与瑞士和奥地利接壤，按照欧洲标准来看，其君主制拥有异乎寻常的强大权力。现任亲王有权否决全民公投结果、任命法官和解散政府。
该国传统上偏向保守，1984年成为最后一个赋予女性全国选举投票权的欧洲国家。当时男性选民以微弱优势通过了这项由汉斯-亚当亲王支持的修宪公投。
去年，布丽吉特·哈斯成为该国首位女性首相。
Liechtenstein moves to change rules of succession so women can inherit principality’s throne

Liechtenstein’s royal house said Saturday that the tiny country’s rules of succession will be changed so that a woman could inherit the principality’s throne in the future.
Hereditary Prince Alois announced the change in his speech marking the country’s national day. He said it was approved on Wednesday by the necessary two-thirds majority of family members who can vote on such matters.

The prince said, according to a text of his remarks posted on the princely house’s website, the vote allowed that “all female descendants of the Princely House will be granted the same participation rights in matters governed by the House Law as male descendants.”
“The line of succession will be adjusted from male primogeniture to absolute primogeniture,” Alois said. “That means that in the future, the first-born child will, regardless of sex, become the heir to the throne and later the princess or prince of Liechtenstein.”
The change shouldn’t affect the top of the line of succession in the immediate future.
Prince Hans-Adam II remains the head of state, but in 2004 handed over most of his powers to Alois, his eldest son, who is now 58. That was in line with a tradition of Liechtenstein monarchs giving up the reins to their heirs.
The eldest of Alois’ four children is 31-year-old Prince Joseph Wenzel.
Liechtenstein, a wealthy nation of 40,000 people that borders Switzerland and Austria, has an unusually powerful monarchy by European standards. The ruling prince has the power to veto referendum results, appoint judges and fire the government.

The country is traditionally conservative and in 1984 became the last European country to grant women the right to vote in national elections. Male voters narrowly approved the change, which Hans-Adam had backed, in a referendum.
Last year, Brigitte Haas became its first female prime minister.
