Prince Louis, the young prince who is just five years old, may be on the verge of stepping into a new royal role, all thanks to the recent changes initiated by King Charles III.
As the fourth in line to the British throne, following his father and two older brothers, Prince Louis could potentially inherit a prestigious title that has long been associated with the royal family.
The alteration in titles made by King Charles III has paved the way for the possibility of Prince Louis being bestowed with a new royal designation.
With his elder brother, Prince George, aged 10, poised to ascend the throne in the future, Prince Louis could find himself stepping into a role that holds significant historical significance within the royal lineage.
Last year, on his 59th birthday, Prince Edward was granted the title of Duke of Edinburgh by his brother, King Charles III.
This change in title resulted in Prince Edward’s former designation, Earl of Wessex, being passed down to his 15-year-old son, James.
When the time comes, and Prince Edward passes away, the title of Duke of Edinburgh cannot be inherited by his son, thus opening up the possibility for it to be conferred upon Prince Louis.
In the foreseeable future, Prince George is expected to ascend to the throne as king, while Princess Charlotte could potentially assume the esteemed title of Princess Royal, which is currently held by Princess Anne.
However, there have been speculations suggesting that Prince Louis might be considered for the title of Duke of York, a position currently held by Prince Andrew, traditionally reserved for the second son of a monarch.
The title of Princess Royal is customarily bestowed upon the eldest daughter of the reigning monarch, a title that Princess Anne continues to hold with distinction.
Notably, the Prince of Wales recently engaged in a private meeting with his father, King Charles III, indicating discussions about the future royal roles and responsibilities within the family.
Meanwhile, Prince William is slated to make a return to his public duties this coming Sunday at the prestigious BAFTA awards ceremony.
