Princess Charlotte Could Be Granted Two Potential Titles When She Grows Up—Including One Surprising Choice—Says Royal Author

Princess Charlotte might only be 11, but one day, her father, Prince William, will become King. It’s a lot of responsibility for a tween to take on, but one matter that royal watchers have wondered about for years is which title Charlotte will be granted when she’s an adult. Speaking to Hello! magazine, royal biographer Robert Jobson shared two of the possibilities ahead for Prince William and Princess Kate’s only daughter.

Traditionally, a monarch’s eldest daughter is given the title of the Princess Royal. In Queen Elizabeth’s case, her only daughter, Princess Anne, was granted the title. But the title is not hereditary, meaning it can’t be passed down to Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall. Princess Anne will hold her title for life, but once she dies, it will return to the Crown.
