Princess Charlotte May Take On Unique Royal Title — But It Won't Happen Immediately

Even though she is only six years old, Princess Charlotte may hold a unique and special title when Prince William and Kate Middleton take the throne one day.
The tot is officially known as Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, but it's likely that she will inherit the title of Princess Royal.
At the moment, Princess Anne holds the title, as she was given it in 1987.
“The title of Princess Royal is traditionally bestowed on the eldest daughter of the monarch," expert Duncan Larcombe noted. "It is a title that remains for life, so Princess Charlotte will have to wait at least until the death of the current Princess Royal."
Charlotte is already loving being a part of the royal family — especially when it comes with certain perks!
“She’s obsessed with her mother's jewelry,” an insider told Life & Style of the little girl. “[Prince] William once found her covered in Kate [Middleton’s] makeup and wearing a $4 million tiara.”
The source added that the youngin already has "very expensive taste."
However, the couple try to not give their three kids — Prince George, 8, Charlotte and Prince Louis, 3 — everything.
“While Kate and William avoid overly spoiling the children, they let the rule slide at Christmas,” a source told Us Weekly.
While George cares deeply about the environment, "Charlotte is just a bit young, she's still not quite sure, and actually [Prince] Louis just enjoys playing outside the whole time — he lives outside," William revealed. "But I think it is slowly dawning on them that these things matter, but when you are that young, you just want to have fun and enjoy it."
"I think he [George] has a definite sense of realization and understanding, so education is really key," the dad-of-three added. "So, for instance, knowing not to overuse water, being careful with our resources, turning off light switches, things like that, which was instilled in me growing up. So yes, he is acutely aware, more so than the other two at the moment."
