A significant shift in the status of a minor royal family member is on the horizon, all thanks to the impending reign of King Charles.
The 20-year-old Lady Louise Windsor, despite being the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, was not bestowed with the prestigious HRH title at birth.
This decision was made at the behest of her parents, Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, now known as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
However, under the reign of King Charles, there is speculation that Lady Louise may receive a brand-new royal title, potentially altering her standing within the royal family.
Lady Louise’s younger brother, James, Earl of Wessex, experienced a similar transformation in his title following the passing of the previous monarch.
Upon Prince Edward assuming the title of Duke of Edinburgh, 16-year-old James inherited his father’s earldom, becoming the Earl of Wessex.
Should Lady Louise undergo a title change, it could pave the way for her to become an active member of the royal family.
In an exclusive interview with GB News, royal historian Gareth Russell hinted at the possibility of Lady Louise Windsor ascending to a senior position within the royal hierarchy.
Speculation regarding this matter emerged last year, fueled by Lady Louise’s commendable demeanor and interactions within the palace.
Observers have lauded her for being articulate, composed, and engaging, qualities that are highly valued in the royal circles.
Traditionally, royal women have often followed non-conventional paths within the family structure, deviating from the standard practices.
The exception lies with the eldest daughter of the monarch, who typically assumes the title of Royal Princess and receives a designated position.
Furthermore, the precedence of succession has evolved over time, with changes implemented during Queen Elizabeth II’s later years.
Russell opined that King Charles might introduce gradual reforms during his reign, potentially leading to more titles for older women in the royal family.
As the prospect of King Charles III ascending the throne looms closer, the narrative of a more contemporary monarchy emerges, spearheaded by the collaboration with Prince William.
