Here’s How the Queen’s Passing Will Affect the British Line of Succession

Better known as Princess Diana’s former husband and father to Princes William and Harry, King Charles has taken over the British throne as Queen Elizabeth II’s firstborn. The queen named him the official successor in April 2018.

As King Charles’s oldest son, Prince William snagged the first spot in the long line of heirs to the royal throne.

He may be small, but the power Prince George wields as second in line to the throne is no joke.

At 7 years old, Princess Char is King Charles’s third successor.

Kate Middleton and Prince William’s youngest child is fourth in line to the throne, right behind his brother and sister.

He may have 33 years on Prince Louis, but age does not equate with privilege in this case. Because Prince William is King Charles’s eldest son, his progeny comes before Uncle Harry in the chain of royal command.

Archie is sixth in line to the throne. He currently resides at his parent’s new $14.65 million home in the wealthy Santa Barbara neighborhood of Montecito.

Baby Lili is now seventh in line to the British throne. (Casual.)

As the second eldest son of Her Majesty and Prince Philip, Prince Andrew sits comfortably in the eighth spot in line.

Princess Bea’s claim to fame isn’t just that she’s ninth in line to the throne as Prince Andrew’s oldest daughter. She also reigns supreme as queen of the fascinator game.

Although she comes after her big sister, Beatrice, in the line of succession, Princess Eugenie’s stunning wedding proves she’s totally up for the spoils of queendom.

As Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh’s youngest son, Prince Edward holds the 13th position in line to the throne.

In the 14th spot on the list of royal heirs is Prince Edward’s son, James, Viscount Severn. You’ve got some big shoes to fill, kid.

She’s the oldest daughter of Sophie, Countess of Wessex and Prince Edward, making her Queen Elizabeth’s youngest granddaughter.

Princess Anne is the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. She’s held the same royal title since 1987. NBD.

Not only is he Princess Anne’s eldest child, but he’s also Queen Elizabeth’s oldest grandchild.

You probably remember her as the troublemaker who pushed her cousin, Prince George, down a grassy hill back in 2018.

Meet Savannah’s little sister, Isla. She’s the second daughter of Peter Phillips and his wife, Autumn.

Finally, there’s Princess Anne’s only daughter. She married Mike Tindall back in 2011, and they now share three children together: Mia (8), Lena (4) and Lucas (1).
