It would have gone on just as before. She would be in line after her father and uncle, until a brother came along. Liberals would complain, but half of them want to abolish the monarchy altogether. If they’re going to have a monarchy, they should do it right, which means following primogeniture.
They are following primogeniture - just no longer male preference primogeniture.
Personally, speaking as somebody who is committed to the Monarchy, I think it was time for this change - at a when it did not alter a status quo already in place. If the chance had been missed, it could be decades before another simple opportunity came up, because of the requirements under the Statute of Westminster. It prevents one argument being used throughout the Commonwealth Realms against the monarchy - and means any move towards republicanism is more likely to be based on real issues of governance that matter, rather than mere symbolism.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is the best basis for a system of government.
You should claim supreme power just ‘cause some watery tart throws a sword at you!
I agree with you both. A thousand years of history and tradition was changed for, what? Political correctness?
Primogeniture is still being followed.
