Princess Charlotte might lose her current title when her father, Prince William, ascends the throne, royal experts have suggested.
Celebrity news channel OSS, has previously stated that Charlotte’s “future will only change dramatically when her father succeeds in becoming grandfather as King”.
They also noted: “When that happens life as Charlotte knows it will look very different, in fact, there is a good chance she’ll lose her titles when her dad is on the throne. By the time William is King of England, his eldest son George will be Prince of Wales.”
This would leave Charlotte without a title, or as they put it, “Charlotte of nothing”. The reason being, once Prince George is granted the title of Prince of Wales, Charlotte cannot claim the title of Princess of Wales, the Express reports.
The channel explained: “Her right to be Princess of Wales flies out the window when her brother gets the official title of Prince of Wales because a royal lady can only be a princess if she’s married to a prince or the daughter of a prince.”
Since Charlotte does not fit into these categories as George’s sister, she would not hold the title. After William was named Prince of Wales in 2022, Charlotte became known as Princess Charlotte of Wales.
Charlotte has been tipped as the “next Princess Anne” and might one day be known as the Princess Royal. OSSA detailed: “Princess Royal is a special title held by the eldest daughter of the reigning monarch which is currently Princess Anne.”
The title could pass to Charlotte if Prince William ascends the throne and after Princess Anne’s lifetime.
