Charles becoming King has created a new line of succession – with more children than adults now making up the top eight positions. Here is the new hierarchy: 1. Prince William, 40 The eldest son of King Charles and Diana, the Duke of Cambridge is now heir apparent and next in line to the throne. 2. Prince George, nine Kate and William’s oldest son, George, takes William’s place as second in line to become the next British monarch. 3. Princess Charlotte, seven After the death of her great-grandmother, seven-year-old Charlotte becomes the most senior female royal in terms of succession. 4. Prince Louis, four The youngest member of the Cambridge family, Louis rose to prominence after acting his age at the Queen’s jubilee celebrations. 5. Prince Harry, 37 He has a new life in California but the Duke of Sussex is still fifth in line to succeed his father. 6. Prince Archie, three The oldest of Harry and Meghan’s children was born in London. 7.
