Princess Charlotte, the second child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is a unique member of the royal family.
Despite being the granddaughter of the King and third in line to the throne, royal experts believe she will likely not be a working royal and will need to pursue a career, in line with King Charles III’s vision of a slimmed-down monarchy.
Charlotte has already captured the hearts of many, with many noting her striking resemblance to her late grandmother, Princess Diana—not just in appearance but in personality as well. In fact, she even carries her grandmother’s name as her third name.
Titles and Royal Traditions
While Charlotte is third in line to the throne, she may miss out on a title her brothers will receive when they marry—that of a Duchess. Traditionally, royal men, such as Prince William and Prince Harry, were granted dukedoms on their wedding days, making their wives Duchesses.
Charlotte, however, would only receive such a title if she marries a Duke. This could change with modern updates to royal tradition.

“Now, with gender-equal succession, I think it would be more possible to grant a peerage to Charlotte,” royal historian Marlene Koenig told Hello! Magazine. “Prince Louis will get one when he marries, so it would only be fair if Charlotte was named a Duchess on her wedding day.”
