Other Titles
Heir Apparent
An heir apparent is an heir who (short of a fundamental change in the situation) cannot be displaced from inheriting; the term is used in contrast to heir presumptive, the term for a conditional heir who is currently in line to inherit but could be displaced at any time in the future.
Heir Eventual
An heir eventual is an heir who (short of a fundamental change in the situation) cannot be displaced from inheriting but is not him or herself the heir apparent.
Heir Presumptive
An heir presumptive is the person provisionally scheduled to inherit a throne, peerage, or other hereditary honour: but whose position can be displaced by the birth of an heir apparent or of a new heir presumptive with a better claim to the throne.
Depending on the rules of the monarchy the heir presumptive might be the daughter of a monarch (if males take priority over females and the monarch has no sons), or the senior member of a collateral line (if the monarch is childless).
If an heir apparent is born, he becomes first-in-line to the throne, with all of his descendants taking priority over the heir presumptive in the Line of Succession. In the event of there being an heir apparent, the title "heir presumptive" lapses and is not used to describe the most senior person in the Line of Succession who is not a direct male descendant of the monarch.
