And yet despite her pedigree, the princess is unlikely to be crowned queen in her lifetime.
It’s not a matter of favoritism, but of British law.
According to the officialroyal website, the monarchy is determined both by descent and by Parliament.
Then the first child of the heir takes the spot behind their parent.
For the princess to become Queen Charlotte, some unusual events would have to occur first.
For instance, Prince George could die childless either before or after being crowned king.
Since Edward had no children, his younger brother became King George VI.
There’s another distant possibility that could result in a Queen Charlotte reign.
(Confused yet?)
Still, Charlotte shouldn’t expect to rise any higher.
But that’s not a bad destiny to have.
