The line of succession to the Autelian throne consists of people entitled to become head of state of Autelia.
The succession is currently governed by Article IX of the Constitution, altered most recently in 1960 to introduce absolute primogeniture among the children and further eligible descendants of King Alexander III.
Only legitimate descendants of a living monarch and the living monarchs' siblings and their legitimate descendants can be in line to the throne. In the event that there is no-one in the line of succession, the Parliament has the right to elect a successor under Article X (if the monarch is alive) or Article XXVI (if the monarch has died). Following the death of Queen Marie-Claude in 2023, the line of succession has been limited to descendants of King Alexander IV.
Upon acceding to the throne (and being of age), the Autelian monarch is required by Article IX of the Constitution to take an oath before members of the Parliament and undergo a coronation ceremony.
