Charlotte & George Are Known As Princess & Prince, But Charlotte's Children Won't Necessarily Get The Same Titles

Since pregnant Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed their first and second baby - Prince George and Princess Charlotte - the young royals have really won over the hearts of the public. .....
From Prince George starting school, to Charlotte having a tantrum, the nation has fallen in love with the youngest royals, and sometimes they're treats to a rare glimpse into Kensington Palace and their family life.

And many people wonder what their official royal titles and surnames are.

While we all know George and Charlotte are referred to Prince and Princess, that isn't automatic for their children. According to an expert, any children Charlotte has wouldn't automatically be given official royal titles - but according to tradition George's would.

Speaking to Town & Country, Lucy Hume, associate director of etiquette experts Debrett's, explained: "Royal titles are inherited through sons, so if Princess Charlotte has children they would not automatically inherit the titles HRH, Prince, or Princess."For example, Princess Anne's children Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips don't have HRH status, however Prince Andrew's daughters Princess Beatrice and Eugenie do.

Lucy Hume added: "The monarch may offer to bestow a royal title upon his or her daughter's children.For Peter and Zara Phillips, the Queen offered to give them a royal title when they were born, but Princess Anne and Captain Phillips opted to decline this offer."

However, this doesn't affect the line of succession - Princess Charlotte will maintain her place even if Kate Middleton - who is pregnant - gives birth to another boy.
