Only a year and a half on the throne, King Charles III is battling cancer, opening the door to the possibility of abdicating his position in favor of Prince William, his eldest son. If this happens, the line of succession will be fulfilled and there will be changes, particularly for Charlotte, the heir to the Princes of Wales, as experts point out.
At eight years old, Kate and William’s middle daughter has long attracted attention for the charismatic and cheerful image she displays in official events, but now there are other reasons that make her stand out. In this case, the uncertainty regarding the role she will have when her father takes over the reign.
At that time, George, the eldest brother, aged 10, will become the immediate heir to the British throne, having to wait for William, as monarch, to offer him the title of Prince of Wales. As the king’s eldest daughter, Charlotte will be a royal princess if this is formally granted to her, which can only happen when Princess Anne, her great-aunt, is no longer alive.
“The Mirror” notes that it entails “many responsibilities and strict rules”, including when it comes to relationships. In fact, “under the old law, anyone who slept with the Princess Royal before marrying her was considered guilty of treason, which was once punishable by execution,” royal journalist Duncan Larcombe told Town and Country magazine. ”.
