Will Princess Charlotte lose her royal title when Prince William becomes king? Here's what to expect

Post by: Pratik Kumar

Princess Charlotte is facing a significant change in her royal status as the rules governing royal titles are set to be applied when her father, Prince William, eventually ascends to the throne. The 9-year-old young royal may find herself losing the title of "Princess" under the anticipated reshuffling of titles in the British monarchy. While there is a possibility that she could gain a new title in the future, the outcome largely hinges on the dynamics within the royal family at that time.

Royal commentators have elaborated on the stipulations surrounding the title of Princess, noting that it is traditionally held by women who are either married to a prince or are the daughters of a prince. Currently, Charlotte fits into the latter category, being the daughter of Prince William. However, the landscape of her title could shift dramatically once William becomes king.

When Prince William ascends the throne, "life as Charlotte knows it will look different." There is speculation that the young princess may choose to step into the professional world and pursue her own career path, which would further change her relationship with royal titles.

The situation becomes clearer when considering that, by the time William becomes king, his eldest son, George, is expected to be given the title of Prince of Wales. This would mean that Charlotte’s claim to the title of Princess of Wales would no longer be valid, as the title is reserved for the monarch's eldest son and for women married to princes. The loss of her current title would mean that Charlotte would essentially be "Charlotte of nothing," as described by commentators.

Charlotte has held the title of Princess Charlotte of Wales since William was named Prince of Wales in 2022. However, with George set to assume that title, Charlotte will no longer hold the title of Princess of Wales, currently held by her mother, Kate Middleton. Despite this significant transition, there may be another prestigious title on the horizon for her. She has often been likened to the "next Princess Anne," and there are discussions suggesting that she could potentially take on the title of Princess Royal in the future.

The title of Princess Royal is traditionally granted to the eldest daughter of the reigning monarch and is held for life. Currently, this title is held by Princess Anne, the second child and only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II. However, Charlotte would only be eligible for this title after Princess Anne’s passing, leaving her with a complex and evolving royal status as her father prepares for his future role as king.

In summary, while Princess Charlotte is poised to lose her current title as the landscape of royal hierarchy shifts with her father's ascension, she may still have opportunities to embrace other significant roles within the monarchy. The coming years promise to reshape her identity as a member of the royal family.
