Good question!!!! My guess would be Stephanie, but I could be wrong since Andrea is over 21 and a male heir. I am assuming preference is still given to the male heir?

Succession is by primogeniture...Caroline and her 4 children and then Stephanie and her first 2 children (Camille is not in the line of succession). Only legitimate children may succeed so Camille could only enter the line if Stephanie were to marry the father. In the event a minor were to succeed to the throne a Regent would need to be appointed. Rainer made Grace the Regent should Albert have succeeded as a minor.

Andrea for he is in line after his mother.
