There is no specific requirement to qualify as an heir to the throne aside from selection by the Grand Duke. The succession plan does not take gender, age, or other status into consideration; however, if the time comes that an heir is required to ascend to the throne, the Succession Committee is responsible for ensuring the designated heir is willing and able to serve in the role of Sovereign. If the heir declines to serve as Sovereign, the Committee members then contact the next heir in the line of succession until a new Sovereign has been invested or the list has been exhausted.
