Lilibet’s Whereabouts: Cambridge Kid Poised to Snatch Vital Title, Sending Meg Into a Frenzy
In an exclusive revelation, it has come to light that the six-year-old Charlotte, currently known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, may potentially acquire a significant title currently held by Princess Anne.
As the Duke of Cambridge ascends to the throne, Charlotte could inherit a title traditionally bestowed upon the eldest daughter of the monarch.
The Royal Family's social media team shared intriguing details about the reasons behind Princess Anne's possession of the title in anticipation of her birthday in August.
Taking to Twitter in August 2020, they clarified that the eldest daughter of the sovereign usually receives this prestigious designation.
In 1987, HRH The Princess Anne was named the Princess Royal, becoming the seventh individual to hold this esteemed title.
Her predecessors include Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V.
However, there have been exceptions to this tradition.
Despite being the eldest daughter of George VI, Princess Elizabeth did not possess the title before her accession to the throne in 1952.
This was due to her aunt, Princess Mary, who was still alive and held the title at the time.
Similarly, if Princess Anne retains the title when William becomes King, Charlotte will be unable to inherit it.
Even if the position is vacant, it does not automatically pass on to the daughter of the monarch.
The Queen herself bestowed the title upon Anne in 1987, despite it remaining vacant since the demise of Princess Mary in 1965.
Its origins trace back to 1642 when Princess Mary, daughter of Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria, was first granted this honor.
Allegedly, Queen Henrietta Maria, daughter of King Henry IV of France, aimed to emulate the French tradition of referring to the eldest daughter of the French King as Madame Roy L.
In recent news, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle privately extended birthday greetings to Kate Middleton on her 40th birthday, now that they are aware of the vital title belonging to the Cambridge family.
It is customary for members of the British Royal Family to convey their birthday wishes via social media platforms.
Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, were among those who publicly shared their well-wishes for the Duchess of Cambridge on her special day.
However, fans were particularly curious about whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex managed to greet Kate Middleton on her birthday.
According to American author Christopher Anderson, the couple had a video call with the birthday celebrant as they no longer have active Instagram and Twitter accounts.
He emphasized the private nature of this interaction, highlighting that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle refrained from posting anything as they had done two years ago.
Anderson noted the stark contrast in their approach, stating that this time around, everything was kept behind closed doors.
The Royal Family has chosen not to disclose any details regarding Kate Middleton's birthday celebration.
Instead, they commemorated her 48th birthday by releasing a series of exquisite portraits that will be exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery.
However, Anderson claimed that the Duchess of Cambridge opted for an intimate gathering with close friends and family at Anmer Hall.
He further revealed that Kate has a small circle of friends and continued her mother Carol Middleton's delightful tradition of baking her own birthday cake.
Allegedly, Kate Middleton preferred a low-key affair due to the upcoming grandiose celebrations planned for the royals this year.
It is speculated that Prince William will have a joint birthday celebration with Queen Elizabeth II during her Platinum Jubilee festivities.
Anderson explained that both the Queen and Prince William have significant plans in store, and if circumstances permit, there will be extravagant parties once again.
As the Platinum Jubilee celebrations approach in June, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to return to the UK, ensuring their presence during Prince William's birthday.
