The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's only daughter could be given another title when her father ascends to the throne
Danielle Stacey The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's only daughter is currently styled as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, but the seven-year-old could be given another title in the future.When Prince William becomes King, Charlotte could be named The Princess Royal, but that depends on a number of factors.The royal family shared facts on their social media accounts about Princess Anne's life in the lead-up to her 70th birthday on 15 August 2020.
Despite being the eldest daughter of the sovereign George VI at the time, Princess Elizabeth was never known as the Princess Royal because her aunt Princess Mary was in possession of the title. Similarly, if Princess Anne is still using the title when her nephew William ascends the throne, he will not be able to bestow it upon his daughter Charlotte.
The title was first used in 1642 when Princess Mary, daughter of King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria, was made Princess Royal. Queen Henrietta Maria, who was the daughter of King Henry IV of France, is said to have wanted to imitate the way the eldest daughter of the French King was styled as"Madame Royale".
