When a new monarch ascends to the throne there are often a number of title changes that happen within the Royal Family. One member who could receive a new title is Princess Charlotte when her father, Prince William, becomes King.
The Princess is the second eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and currently she is formally known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, The Mirror reports. But when Prince William becomes king the youngster, who is seven, could be given the title of The Princess Royal.
According to a post shared on the royal family’s social media accounts in August 2020 when celebrating Princess Anne’s birthday, the title follows some specific rules. “HRH The Princess Anne was named The Princess Royal, a title traditionally bestowed upon the eldest daughter of The Sovereign, in 1987,” it read. “HRH is the seventh Princess Royal, following Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V.”
