Princess Charlotte made history when her younger brother Prince Louis was born in 2018 as she maintained her position in the Line of Succession - and it's all thanks to a change the late Queen introduced
The late Queen was a pioneer in quietly modernising the Royal Family throughout her monumental 70-year reign.
The reason behind this is down to a significant alteration the late Queen introduced which changes the rules of primogeniture and who can overtake who in the Line of Succession. The adaptation to the rule means that Charlotte was not leapfrogged by Louis. The reason for this is a historic rule known as primogeniture that unseats any female heir if a younger brother is born. The rules of primogeniture were altered in the Succession to the Crown Act 2013, meaning that any younger brother born after this date can no longer leapfrog an older sister.
