Zara Tindall and Princess Anne’s Royal Positions Set to Change Soon

Excitement is in the air for the royal family as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's first child.

The Queen's granddaughter is expected to give birth early in 2021, making the arrival of the new royal baby imminent.

This little one, who will be second cousins with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son, Archie, will hold the eleventh position in the line of succession to the throne.

However, the birth of this new member will result in a reshuffling of positions within the royal family hierarchy.

Prince Edward, currently twelfth in line to the throne, will be pushed down a spot, along with his children James and Louise, who will now occupy the thirteenth and fourteenth positions, respectively.

Despite being an active member of the royal family and a key part of the Queen's senior team, Princess Anne, currently holding the fourteenth spot, will move down to fifteenth.

Following her will be her eldest son Peter, followed by his daughters Savannah and Isla Phillips.

In the midst of these changes, Zara Tindall, who is also expecting a child, will see herself move from the eighteenth to the nineteenth position in the line of succession.

Her children will also experience a shift downward in their rankings.

However, it is unlikely that Zara will be perturbed by this change, as she has always embraced her less senior royal status with gratitude.

Princess Anne had foreseen that her children would occupy lower positions in the line of succession and thus made the deliberate choice not to grant them HRH titles, allowing them to lead more ordinary lives.

In a 2015 interview with The Times, she expressed her appreciation for her parents' decision, stating that it afforded her and her siblings opportunities for a more typical upbringing.

By not receiving funds from the royal coffers, Princess Anne has had the freedom to earn her own income, granting her greater autonomy compared to other senior members of the family.
