By simply being born, he changed the line of succession.
Of course, that raises the question: what evenisthis line of succession?
However, it’s notsolelyabout birth order.
Parliament also has a say in who gets to sit on the throne.
As such, “a Sovereign can be deprived of his/her title through misgovernment.”
So, who is?
Allow us to explain.
Prince Charles
In 2016, Queen Elizabeth II officially becamethe longest-reigning living monarch.
That’s quite the accomplishment.
That’s not to say she hasn’t been weighing her options though.
He continued, writing, “Abdication, however, is not even a consideration.”
According to the expert,the Regency Actenables the queen to name Charles Prince Regent.
However, the experts don’t foresee this happening.
“I think he will become King.”
But that’s not actually possible.
“The Act of Settlement of 1701dictates that the crown would go to the monarch’s first direct heir.
In this case, Charles.
Unless Charles dies before his mother, William will likely not be the next to rule.
Instead, asthe second in the line of succession, he will ruleafterhis father’s reign.
Upon his birth, the young prince became thethird in the line of succession.
His birth was also monumental for another reason.
After his father’s reign, George would then have his turn to rule.
But he wouldn’t be making any major decisions.
This is another situation in whichthe Regency Actcould come into play.
Pending any other tragic circumstances, this would be his uncle, Prince Harry.
And it was a monumental change.
Instead, Louis assumed his position asfifth in the line of succession.
If they do, Louis' chance of ruling becomes even slimmer.
This also creates an interesting sibling dynamic because he will likely see big brother George take the throne.

Prince Harry
Prince Harry knows what its like to be continually bumped away from the throne.
These days though, it’s very unlikely.
Upon Louis' birth, Harry became thesixth in the line of succession.
However,Latin Timeshighlighted the five ways Harrycouldconceivably become king.
But keep in mind that these are all highly unlikely scenarios.
So, basically, don’t hold your breath.
This is why he’s notPrinceArchie.
Still, it was thought thatMeghan and Harrywould choose some form of royal title.
Instead,his parents seem to have elected to use no such title.
Royal expert Rebecca English confirmed onTwitterthat Archie will simply be known as “Master Archie.”
Although Archie was born without a title, hestands to inherit oneafter his grandfather Prince Charles becomes king.
Prince Andrew
In recent years, most haven’t heard too much about Prince Andrew.
But that wasn’t always the case.
Though the scrutiny was perhaps warranted.
Eek.His divorce from Sarah Fergusonin the mid-’90s was also considered a scandal at the time.
“Believe me, he can do no wrong.”
Some may be relieved to know that Andrew is no longer fourth but insteadeighth in the line of succession.
As such, Beatrice is not entitled to an income from the royal family viathe Sovereign Grant.
Beatrice may not be a “working royal,” but shedoeswork.
After she and her longtime boyfriendJack Brooksbankgot engaged, we started looking forward tothe royal wedding.
Held in October 2018, Eugenie married her groom at Windsor Castle where Meghan and Harryhad marriedfive months prior.
“I love being able to share my passion for art with people,” she told the publication.
That’s what I find most thrilling about working in a gallery.”
The queen appears to have a particular fondness for the youngest ofher children and body language experts agree.
However, being the Queen’s favorite son doesn’t make Edward any closer to the throne.
In March 2019, the princecelebrated his 55th birthday.
But he did earn a new title on that day.
Still, you likely won’t see James very often.
In an interview (viaDaily Mail), his mom spoke about shielding her children from the limelight.
“Certainly when they were very young we tried to keep them out of it,” she explained.
Here’s the deal.
For centuries, being male usurped birth order.
With the new act, the crown was no longer dependent on sex.
However, this act did not apply to Louise because she wasborn in 2003.
Although she will likely never sit on the throne, she’s still a queen in our eyes.
After all, she has lived quite the life.
At 23 years old, the royal was nearly kidnapped at gunpoint.
Her response to the would-be kidnapper when he ordered her to leave her car or else?
“Bloody likely,“E!
Newsquotes her as saying.
That said, Anne is probably okay to stick to tiaras instead of the crown.
