who has to ask the queen's permission to marry
Royal Marriages Act 1772 The Royal Marriages Act 1772 was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain, which prescribed the conditions under which members of the British Royal Family could contract a valid marriage, in order to guard against marriages that could diminish the status of the royal house. The right of veto vested in the sovereign by this act provoked severe adverse criticism at the time of its passage.[2][3] It was repealed as a result of the 2011 Perth Agreement, which came into force on 26 March 2015. Under current law, the first six people in the line of succession (currently Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Prince Harry) need permission to marry if they and their descendants are to remain in the line of succession.
