Princess Charlotte's royal title is facing a 'dramatic' change once her father Prince William becomes king, say royal experts.

She is likely to lose her title because of the rules of succession in the Royal Family. She is poised to lose them, but could adopt another title once the Prince of Wales is crowned.

Broadcaster OSSA told how Charlotte's "future will only change dramatically when her father succeeds his grandfather as King”. It once reported: “When that happens life as Charlotte knows it will look very different. In fact, there is a good chance she’ll lose her titles when her dad is on the throne.

“By the time William is King of England, his eldest son George will be Prince of Wales." It said that would make the young royal "Charlotte of nothing. Her right to be Princess of Wales flies out the window when her brother gets the official title of Prince of Wales because a Royal lady can only be a princess if she’s married to a Prince or the daughter of a Prince. As George’s sister, Charlotte doesn’t fit either category”.

Princess Charlotte could take on the title of Princess Royal later in life, according to the OSSA: "Princess Royal is a special title held by the eldest daughter of the reigning monarch which is currently Princess Anne." But there can only be one Princess Royal, and as the title is customary it's not definite that Princess Charlotte will be granted the title at all, according to the Express.

Princess Charlotte is already following in the footsteps of many other royals as she has expressed an interest in an art form that is popular amongst many members of her family. Her passion for dance is something that was shared by her late grandmother, Princess Diana, as well as Queen Camilla and the Duchess of Edinburgh.

In 2023 as a special treat, Kate also took Princess Charlotte and friends to a ballet performance of Cinderella at the Royal Opera House in London. This love is shared by Queen Camilla, who is perhaps the greatest fan of dance in the family as she is the patron of the Royal Academy of Dance - and is said to take Silver Swan dance classes there - her interests have certainly passed down to the younger royals.
