If Will and Kate's first child is a girl, it's now clear that she'll probably become queen one day — and not even getting a little brother can mess that up. The Commonwealth countries agreed Oct. 28 to change centuries-old rules of succession that put sons on the throne ahead of any older sisters. So that hypothetical daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton -- now known as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge — would have a prime place in history: the first princess to beat out any younger brothers and accede to the throne.
