The designation is currently held by Prince Edward\u2019s wife, Sophie Rhys-Jones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, the same reports suggest that Charlotte\u2019s younger brother, Prince Louis, may miss out on a traditional royal title usually associated with a monarch\u2019s second son when William eventually ascends the throne.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Charlotte has been linked to a prestigious new royal title as discussions about her future role within the monarchy continue, shortly after she turned 11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As the only daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the sister of a future king, Charlotte holds a unique place in the line of succession. Royal experts have now suggested that another title may already be under consideration for her adulthood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI was told the King wanted to reserve the Duchess of Edinburgh role for her, which could happen,\u201d royal author Robert Hardman told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hellomagazine.com\/royalty\/901127\/princess-charlottes-careful-and-controlled-introduction-to-the-spotlight\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Hello;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Hello&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Hello<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cEdward, when he dies, will lose that title.

There\u2019s no better model.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh titles are currently held by Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie. However, Edward\u2019s dukedom was granted on the understanding that it would revert to the Crown upon his death rather than pass to his son. That arrangement could leave the door open for Charlotte to one day hold the prestigious Duchess title in her own right as a senior working royal.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Charlotte\u2019s Princess Royal Path Depends On Anne<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal dialogue\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The more traditional path for the 11-year-old is the historic title of The Princess Royal, which is usually bestowed on the eldest daughter of the reigning monarch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, the title currently belongs to Princess Anne, who holds it for life. That means Charlotte cannot become Princess Royal immediately when her father becomes king if Anne is still alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Because the title is held for life and is not hereditary, it also cannot be passed down to Anne\u2019s daughter, Zara Tindall. Instead, once the title eventually reverts to the Crown and Prince William is king, Charlotte would be considered the natural successor, although it would still need to be formally bestowed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Anne has held the title since 1987, when she was 36. Due to her decades of royal service, Hardman believes she is the strongest possible model for Charlotte\u2019s future role.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">How Charlotte\u2019s Future Role Mirrors Princess Anne\u2019s<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Princess Anne seen on Day Two of the Festival of British Eventing 2023\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"568\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/gJQfX8sEj5.oIbQyo6bogw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTcxMDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/theblast_73\/3c23f1031a4a9a9724af0b11e5179438\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal dialogue\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Anne and Charlotte have a lot in common, particularly because both grew up as the sisters of future kings.

The disgraced royal was stripped of it, along with other titles, over his controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein, although he has denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Andrew was made Duke of York by Queen Elizabeth in 1986, and the title remains strongly associated with him. The controversies and negative headlines surrounding Andrew may be why William would prefer Louis to receive a different title instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other vacant dukedoms that have been suggested for Louis include the Dukedom of Clarence and the Dukedom of Windsor.
