The location of royal descendants in the line of succession often puzzles people.
As reported by PEOPLE, Prince Andrew is more likely to take the throne than his older sister, Princess Anne, although he is the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
This is actually because Prince Andrew and Prince Edward jumped their sister down the line of succession, as shown in the recently released fourth season of The crown.
According to a law implemented before 2013, the older sisters of the royal family would be moved to a place in the order of succession if their parents had a younger child, as in the case of Princess Anne.
However, this changed forever after Law of succession to the crown of 2013, which dictates that birth order actually determines who will occupy the throne next, regardless of the royal gender.
That’s why Princess Charlotte has been able to keep her royal place in line, after Prince George and not Prince Louis.
The birth of Prince Louis has historical significance and value, as it saw Princess Charlotte become the first royal woman in line to be unaffected by the arrival of a younger brother.
The law was passed when Prince William and Kate Middleton were pregnant with Prince George and affects all royals born after October 28, 2011.
