Princess Charlotte of Wales: A Young Royal with a Bright Future

Princess Charlotte of Wales is the second child and only daughter of Prince William and Princess Catherine. She was born on May 2, 2015, in London at St Mary’s Hospital. Her full name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, with her middle names paying tribute to her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her late grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

Currently third in line to the British throne, following her father and older brother, Prince George, Princess Charlotte plays an active role in the royal family. She participates in royal duties and engagements suitable for her age, supports charitable causes, and represents the monarchy both within the UK and internationally.

How Old Is Princess Charlotte Now?

Charlotte is now 11 years old. According to Jason Kelce, she has a “fire to her.” The NFL player, and brother of Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, met the young princess at Taylor’s Eras Tour in June 2024. He and Travis then discussed the encounter on their podcast, New Heights.

“Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte,” Jason said. “She was so f**king adorable.”

“She was a superstar,” Travis added. “Maybe because I have three girls now. She had a fire to her. She was asking questions,” Jason continued.

What Happened to Princess Charlotte?

Charlotte made history when she was born. Her birth marked the first time in British history that a female royal retained her place in the line of succession despite having a younger brother, Prince Louis, due to changes in succession laws that came into effect in 2015, which prioritise birth order over gender.

Where Does Princess Charlotte Live Now?

Charlotte lives with her family. The Wales family’s primary residence is Kensington Palace in London. They also spend time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, which is known to be their country home.

Will Princess Charlotte Lose Her Title?

There is no reason to expect that Charlotte will lose her title. At birth, her official title was Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, but following the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Charlotte’s official title is now Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Wales.

Of course, as the royal family’s structure inevitably changes through the years, Charlotte’s full title will also change slightly throughout her life. But, ultimately, she’ll always be considered a ‘princess’ – unless there’s an unprecedented change in circumstances or royal protocols, but that’s very, very unlikely.

Sweetest Photos of Princess Charlotte

Here are some of the sweetest photos ever taken of the middle Wales child:

01: 11th Birthday

As is traditional in the British Royal Family, a new portrait is shared on the day of a Royal’s birthday. For her 11th birthday, Prince and Princess of Wales shared a portrait of Charlotte in a field of daisies, her hair, like her mother’s, long and flowing. In addition, the Wales family released a home video of the young princess playing cricket on the beach and cuddling with her dogs.
