This is how it goes...

Well I've finally sorted out the answer to the question I asked on May 5th about the order of succession to the throne.  The Act which did away with the precedence which males used to have over females was the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 and this provided that "Males born after 28 October 2011 no longer precede their elder sisters in the line of succession".  (The emphasis is mine). So that's why the Princes Andrew and Edward still take precedence over Princess Anne.  I am no longer confused!
