There’s no credible evidence that the scenario you described—a royal communiqué in which Princess Anne skips over Princess Lilibet and bestows the prestigious title of “Princess Royal” on 10-year-old Princess Charlotte—has actually occurred.
Here’s what factual sources confirm about the title and the current state of affairs:
What Is the Title “Princess Royal”?
- The title Princess Royal is a historic honorary designation typically granted by the monarch to their eldest daughter. It is not automatic, and only one person may hold the title at any given time.
- Princess Anne has held the title since June 13, 1987, and will retain it for life.
Could Princess Charlotte Ever Be Named Princess Royal?
- In theory, Princess Charlotte could become Princess Royal, but only after two conditions are met:
- Prince William must become King
- Princess Anne must have passed away, freeing the title
- Scholarly and media sources consistently state this would be a future possibility, not a current event.
So What’s the Reality?
- No official statements, press releases, or credible royal sources report that Princess Anne has “skipped” anyone or is passing on the title now.
- The scenario described appears to be entirely fictional, as such an announcement would be widely covered if genuine.
