Titles have been a topic du jour in the royal family of late—from Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet officially becoming so (after all, as their parents correctly said, it is their birthright), to Prince Edward inheriting the Duke of Edinburgh title like his parents always wanted.
Now the title conversation has shifted to Princess Charlotte, who, Robert Jobson writes in his latest book Our King, is set to eventually receive one of the “grandest royal titles”—specifically at her grandfather King Charles’ request. Currently, Charlotte sits at third in line to the throne behind her father, Prince William, and her older brother, Prince George. She made history as the first female member of the British line of succession to not be leapfrogged by her younger brother, Prince Louis, who prior to 2012 would have jumped over his sister in the line of succession simply because he is male. Not so anymore, thanks to a directive from Queen Elizabeth, set in place before William and Kate began having children. (George was born in 2013.)
