Upon his arrival, he became third in line to the throne. His father, Prince William, is the second in line to the throne, while William's father, Prince Charles, is the first in line.

PRINCESS CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH DIANA

On May 2, 2015, William and Kate welcomed their second child, Charlotte Diana Elizabeth. Upon her birth, she became the fourth in the line of succession.

PRINCE LOUIS ARTHUR CHARLES

In 2018 when Prince William and Duchess Kate had their third child and second son, Prince Louis, a phenomenal change in the Royal family occurred. Typically, his birth meant that he would replace his older sister, Charlotte, as fourth in line.

However, the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 ruled out this gender disparity, allowing Charlotte to keep her status despite having a younger brother. Prince Louis is now fifth in line.

LENA ELIZABETH TINDALL

Princess Anne's daughter, Zara, and her husband, Mike, had their second child, a daughter named Lena Elizabeth, in June 2018. Being the Queen's seventh great-grandchild, the little girl was born as the 21st in the line of succession.

ARCHIE HARRISON MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR

On May 19, 2018, Prince Harry, the younger brother of Prince William, tied the knot with actress Meghan Markle, assuming the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The Sussexes welcomed their son, Archie, on May 6, 2019. While Prince Harry is the 6th in line to the throne, he and Markle's son, Archie, is the 7th in line.

This year has been a booming year for the next generation of Royals. Princess Eugenie, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, gave birth to her first child, her son, August.

Eugenie shares her son with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, to whom she has been married since 2018. Eugenie is tenth in the line of succession to the throne, directly behind her older sister, Princess Beatrice. Baby August was born as the eleventh in line.

LUCAS PHILIP TINDALL

The second baby born in the Royal family this year is Zara Tindall's third child. She and her husband welcomed their son, Lucas, this March, in a surprise birth on their home bathroom floor.

The line of succession to Queen Elizabeth's throne is undoubtedly long. Although public displays of affections are quite against the royal etiquette, it is clear that there is plenty of love to go around, and the members of the next generation of royals are a promising bunch!
