she is quite possibly the heir to the throne.

but, well, she is still a halfblood(and bastard), like Sean, so, that should also make her an exile and i don't think anyone will let her heir the throne(in Austria, if i remember that right, a girl can become a heir apparent only if there is no other male relatives. and i have no idea if a halfblood can become a king\queen). In most monarchies boys are favored to girls. I think Sweden is currently the only exception. And if the child is officially accepted, it sure is eligible to inherit the throne (anyone ever heard of Monaco and the "Bastard-Child" of the Fürst? Same concept here)

But direct bloodlines are ranking higher that sidelines. i.o.w. Diana is higher up in the ranking, than the current Crownprince for he is just the nephew and Diana is the Granddaughter.
