The rumor that King Charles has stripped Princess Charlotte of all her current titles and replaced them with the Princess Royal title is unfounded and not supported by official sources. However, Princess Charlotte is indeed poised for an important future royal title — the Princess Royal — but this will only happen when her father, Prince William, ascends the throne.
The Princess Royal title is traditionally given to the monarch’s eldest daughter and can only be held by one person at a time, typically for life. Currently, Princess Anne holds this prestigious title, and upon her passing, no one else can acquire it until it is bestowed by the reigning king. Since King Charles has no daughters, the next in line to receive this honor is expected to be Princess Charlotte once Prince William becomes king.
Princess Charlotte's current titles include Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Wales, and she is third in line to the throne. She is known for breaking royal tradition by retaining her place in the line of succession despite the birth of her younger brother, Prince Louis, due to the Succession to the Crown Act of 2013, which ended male preference primogeniture.
Charlotte is celebrated for her poise and growing role within the royal family and has made notable public appearances alongside her parents. When William ascends the throne, Charlotte’s royal status will strengthen, and the Princess Royal title will reflect her elevated role within the monarchy, honoring a line of illustrious predecessors who have shaped British royal history.
Any title changes for Princess Charlotte will thus follow royal tradition and timing rather than abrupt removal or replacement, signaling her important place in the future of the British monarchy.
