This is what Princess Charlotte’s title will be when Prince William becomes King

Interesting.

When it comes to names and titles, the royal family are no stranger to change.

Many of the most important members (those closest to the throne) will go through a few names in their life.

Take Prince William as an example.

He started off as Prince William, moved on to the Duke of Cambridge, and will inevitably become the Duke of Cornwall and prince of Wales when his father becomes King.

Eventually, Prince William will also become King, which will mean a change of title for his children.

All going to plan, Prince George will eventually become King, but what about Princess Charlotte?

Currently, Princess Charlotte’s full title is Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

However, when her father, Prince William, ascends to the throne, her title will likely change.

Princess Royal is one of the most prominent titles in the royal family, and is reserved for the eldest daughter of the monarch.

The title not only honours a royal’s lineage, but also recognises involvement in the family business.

At the moment, Princess Anne, who was named the hardest working member of the royal family for 2018, holds the Princess Royal title.
