arest male heir is 
a distant cousin who lives in Toronto."It's unfair to my son," said 
Wood, 35. "When he was born, it suddenly felt like I could 
keep (the title) going down the family line ... but it's going 
to go to somebody else, a guy in Canada."Wood admits that she 
values her father's title for its "sentimental value more than anything 
else." Unlike the Downton ladies, she has her own career in publishing. 
Most noble titles are now just that -- a form of address, 
not necessarily tied to fortunes or estates. Some hereditary peers still 
wield political influence in the House of Lords, but most were kicked 
out after reforms in 1999.Still, the tradition of bypassing women just because 
of their gender jars with current thinking -- especially when even the 
monarchy is getting rid of sexism in the succession to the throne. 
That means that if Prince William and Kate have a girl first, 
she will become queen, and no younger brother will be able to 
jump the line and get ahead of her.Those changes have prompted many 
to ask: Why not take the reforms to the aristocrats as well?The 
short answer is that it is much easier said than done. Some 
conservatives fear change and tinkering with age-old tradition, and many 
argue that the rules involved are too complicated to reform. The issue 
also doesn't just concern one family -- as in the royals -- 
but affects hundreds. And any reform, which would need to be passed 
by parliament, could potentially so

story reads like a real-life version of "Downton Abbey," the hit period 
drama about the family of an earl who has no direct heir 
to inherit his title.Like the fictional character Lord Grantham, the aristocrat 
has three daughters but no sons. In order for his title to 
live on in future generations, the 69-year-old has no choice but to 
pass it to a distant relative abroad, someone he has not even 
met."It's a sadness in life that my wife and I never had 
a son," said the viscount, who lives with his wife in the 
countryside west of London. "But I suppose I would rather someone inherit 
it than have it dying out.""Downton Abbey" may be set in the 
early 20th century and its characters may be fictional, but the effects 
of a centuries-old rule that puts boys before girls are very real 
to Torrington and hundreds of hereditary peers in modern Britain. It's still 
a man's world when it comes to inheritance among Britain's peerage, an
