- Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick (1988)
- The Lady Mariana-Charlotte Windsor (1992)
- The Lady Amelia Windsor (1995)
Due to her being brought up in the Catholic faith and not converting prior to marriage, her husband renounced his rights to the crown. Later on, in their teen years, Lord Downpatrick and The Lady Mariana-Charlotte Windsor also renounced their rights to the throne by converting to Catholicism. The Lady Amelia is currently the only one in succession, in 39th place. However, with the new succession rules in effect, because he just married a Catholic, rather than converting to Catholicism himself, he regained his place in succession in 38th place, followed by his youngest child {Source}.
