Princess Charlotte Set to Inherit New Royal Title
Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, may soon be known by a different royal title, according to a royal expert.
Initially baptized as Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge in 2013, she is now commonly referred to as Princess Charlotte or even Mignonette, Prince William's affectionate nickname for her.
However, speculations suggest that her name could change permanently in the future, contingent upon another royal family member.
Reports indicate that Charlotte is poised to inherit the title of Princess Royal following the passing of its current holder, Princess Anne.
This transition would signify a significant shift for the seven-year-old, as she would adopt her late grand-aunt's prestigious title for formal occasions.
Despite this anticipated change, royal expert Marlene Koenig affirms that Charlotte's position in the line of succession remains secure.
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Ms. Koenig emphasized that Charlotte currently holds the third position in the line of succession and is unlikely to be displaced by any future brothers.
This assertion underscores the fact that gender equality in the line of succession does not extend to Princess Anne, ensuring Charlotte's place ahead of her younger brother, Prince Louis, and any potential siblings.
Discussions surrounding royal titles have also raised questions about whether Prince William will bestow the title of Princess Royal upon Charlotte when he ascends the throne.
However, Ms. Koenig suggests that this scenario is improbable, particularly as Louis may inherit a dukedom title instead.
Given Charlotte's precedence over Louis in the line of succession, her status is expected to remain unchanged.
Notably, Charlotte's elder brother, Prince George, currently holds the second position in the line of succession, with their father, Prince William, next in line to the throne.
Following the Wales children, Prince Harry ranks fifth in the line of succession, despite his departure from royal duties, followed by his children, Archie and Lilibet.
Both Charlotte and George are anticipated to attend King Charles' coronation in May 2023, having participated in various royal engagements in recent months.
The siblings notably attended the late Queen's state funeral last month alongside their parents, showcasing their growing presence within the royal family.
As discussions around Charlotte's potential new title continue, observers eagerly await further developments in her royal journey.
