As one of the most famous families on the planet, the royal family ’s day-to-day life is full of unique traditions. From instructions surrounding when and when not to wear a tiara to how and how not to drink tea, being royal comes with its own quirks. And one notable tradition regards the names of members of The Firm, with many royals holding different titles that are often influenced by their ancestors.
In fact, while Princess Charlotte is formally known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, the seven year old’s title could change in the future. When her father Prince William becomes King, the little one could be called The Princess Royal, though this change is not definite. According to a post shared on the royal family’s social media accounts in August 2020 when celebrating Princess Anne’s birthday, the title follows some specific rules.
“HRH The Princess Anne was named The Princess Royal, a title traditionally bestowed upon the eldest daughter of The Sovereign, in 1987,” it read. “HRH is the seventh Princess Royal, following Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V.” As a result, two people cannot be using the Princess Royal title at the same time. For instance, while the Queen was the eldest daughter of the sovereign George VI before she became monarch, she was never known as the Princess Royal.The reason for this is because her aunt Princess Mary held the title, therefore leading the Queen to be known as Princess Elizabeth.This means that if Princess Anne is still using the title when Prince William becomes King, Charlotte will not be able to use the title.

move to Adelaide Cottage – a “humble” Grade II-listed property just a short walk from Windsor Castle.While Kensington Palace has been their main residence since 2017, Kate and Wills are said to be keen to raise their children – George, eight, Charlotte, seven, and Louis, four – in more of a rural setting, with the added benefit that they will be just ten minutes away from 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth.The four-bedroom cottage is said to have been chosen by the couple due to its modest offerings and the fact it has no need for renovation, having undergone work in 2015.Many have noted the contrast between the Cambridges’ choice and that of Harry and Meghan, who came under fire after spending an estimated £2.4million of taxpayers’ money renovating their chosen residence, Frogmore Cottage, also in Windsor. The full amount was eventually paid back by the Sussexes, following their departure from frontline duties.Kate and Wills’ decision to move closer to the Queen may cause further tension between them and the Sussexes – who live in a £11m house in California – particularly following Harry’s recent comments about ,“Making sure [the Queen is] protected and has the right people around her.”And even with William turning 40 this week, an opportunity to make peace together seems far from anyone’s plans, as a royal insider tells us, “This is a huge milestone for William – and Harry knows it – but Meghan believes they’ve got to stop making the first move and offering all these olive branches that just get thrown back in their faces.
