His oldest child is female, so the line would go to the nearest blood male relative - the brother?

Although his oldest child is female, that's not why. But you do actually have the right answer!

The other quirk (along with not allowing illegitimate children to inherit) of noble titles that affects this family is that adopted children can't inherit. This means Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis's children are excluded from the succession.

Sneaky and Pooh, you each got one half right. So decide between yourselves.

My mind's a blank. Pooh or Sneaky, or anyone else, please go ahead and pose a question.

OK - a related question ... after being restored to the throne, Charles II brought what fashion accessory into fashion at the English court?

[hint: his sister Henrietta had married Louis XIV's brother]

Very close - the ascot is the descendant of the what Charles wore ....

Spoiler:
[hint: its name is thought to be derived from the term Croat - who allegedly invented it]
