The royal family is an institution rife with rules. Some make sense, and some are – well, some are more confusing.
A rule that was quite confusing for many in the past year or so was why, even though Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was seventh in line to the throne (he is now sixth in line, upon the accession of Charles to the throne) and his younger sister Lilibet - or Lili - was eighth in line, they were not given HRH (His or Her Royal Highness) designation, nor were they a prince or a princess, respectively.
