As the elder son of Prince Charles and Diana, the 40-year-old is now heir to the British throne.
William’s eldest child, 9, follows his father in the line of succession. Prince George was born to much fanfare on July 22, 2013, as reporters and pundits waited outside London’s St. Mary’s Hospital to catch a glimpse of the royal couple’s firstborn child and heir.
George’s sister — William’s 7-year-old daughter — comes next.
The third child of William and Catherine is now fourth in line to the throne. Four-year-old Louis captured hearts and international headlines after his emotional display on the balcony of Buckingham Palace amid the pomp of the queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June.
William’s brother, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, 37, is now fifth in line to the British throne. Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, bought a $14.7 million home in California after “stepping back” from the royal family and surrendering their “royal highness” titles.
Harry’s children with wife Meghan come next. Archie, their firstborn, is 3.
Among the many jaw-dropping revelations the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made in an interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year was the claim that Buckingham Palace refused Archie the title of prince — a decision that Meghan called hurtful and suggested was driven by institutional racism within the monarchy.
Harry and Meghan’s daughter, age 1, follows her brother, Archie. The queen reportedly met her great-granddaughter Lilibet — who is named after her and after Harry’s late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales — for the first time at the Platinum Jubilee.
Charles’s first brother — second son of Elizabeth and Philip — is now eighth in line to the throne. Andrew, 62, in February settled a lawsuit with an American, Virginia Giuffre, who said she was forced to have sexual encounters with him when she was a teenager after being trafficked by U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein.
While Andrew has been stripped of his royal highness title and honorary patronages, he remains in the line of succession.
Beatrice, 34, who also goes by Mrs. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, is the elder daughter of Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah.
Beatrice’s daughter, Sienna, who is nearly a year old, is now 10th in line to the British throne.
