Therelationship between King Charles III and his granddaughterPrincess Charlotte is special.
“She is beautiful,” he said at a 2015 royal appearance, perExpress.
“I was hoping for a granddaughter someone to look after me when I am very old.”
In addition, the two are connected by name since Charlotte is the female variation of the name Charles.
She’s third in the line of succession due to a change in the royal rules.
Before Prince George was born, UK Parliament passed the2013 Succession to the Crown Act.
For royal children born after October 28, 2011, gender no longer determines the succession lineup.
Now a royal author has revealed the title the king has in mind for Charlotte.
However, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip once had a specific request for the title.
AfterPrince Philip died in 2021, the title was inherited by Charles.
Once he became king, it went back to the Crown, where it was up for grabs.
After some consideration, Charles found a way to fulfill his parents' wishes and his own.
In March 2023, he bestowedPrince Philip’s former title on Edwardin honor of his 59th birthday.
Currently, this title is held by Queen Elizabeth’s daughter,Princess Anne.
Before Anne, her great-aunt, Princess Mary, held the title until she died in 1965.
