Known for Third in line to inherit the throne of the United Kingdom

Princess Charlotte of Wales (born 2 May 2015) is a member of the British Royal family. She is the daughter of William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales. As the granddaughter of Charles III, Charlotte became third in line of succession to the throne when he succeeded to the monarchy in September 2022.

The Succession to the Crown Act of 2013 changed the rules for Royal children by replacing male-preference primogeniture with absolute primogeniture. Charlotte is the first female to be affected by the change. Prior to the Act, Royal daughters like her great-aunt Anne, Princess Royal, were lower in the line of succession than any younger brothers, but Charlotte is higher than her younger brother Louis (born 23 April 2018), who is fourth in line.
