Is Prince Andrew Still in the Line of Succession? Here Are the Next 38 Royals in Line for the British Throne

Princess Charlotte is the first and youngest female in line for the throne—and she retains the fourth spot over her younger brother Louis thanks to 2013’s Succession to the Crown Act.

It’s Louis! Just seven years old and already in a great spot on the line of succession. That’s the royal life for you.

Unlike William, Prince Harry wasn't exactly born to be king—but he seems perfectly cool with that. To the point where he and his wife, Meghan Markle, decided to step back from senior royal duties and move to America. But FYI, despite stepping back, Harry still remains in line to the throne.

As of March 2023, Archie Harrison officially has a princely royal title, people! And in the time since, a spokesperson for the Sussexes released a statement saying, "The children's titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace." Case = closed.

Meghan and Harry welcomed their baby girl back in June 2021 and she's next in line to the throne—right after her older brother! Upon Lili's christening in Los Angeles on March 3, 2023, a Sussex spokesperson released a statement to People, saying, "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."

Of all the Queen’s children, Prince Andrew is the one caught up in the most controversies. There have been allegations of corruption, sexual misconduct, arms sales, and cash-for-access scandals. But despite all that and being relieved of his royal duties and giving up his royal titles, he still seems to be in line for the throne.

Following the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children, Prince Andrew's daughter Beatrice and her younger sister Eugenie were bumped so sufficiently down the list that they can’t use official royal police bodyguards anymore (and their father Andrew was allegedly a bit annoyed about that).

Born in 2021, Sienna is currently 10th in line for the crown.

The newest member of the British royal family: baby Athena, who arrived earlier this year.

In 2018, Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle—the same spot where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got hitched. Back in 2021, they welcomed their first child together, who comes right after Eugenie herself in the line of succession.

Eugenie and Jack's son August officially joined the line to the British throne in 2021.

Eugenie and Jack welcomed another baby boy in 2023 (once again mixing up the line of succession) and he's precious.

Prince Edward is Queen Elizabeth II’s youngest son who became the Duke of Edinburgh in March 2023. He’s married to Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, who was apparently one of the Queen’s favorite family members. Prince Edward and Sophie have two children together—and they’re next up in line, so get ready!

James is technically a prince, but his parents wanted to give him a (slightly) less ostentatious title “to avoid some of the burdens of royal titles”—so he was a viscount for a bit (casual!). Still though, he has a lake in Canada named after him and that’s kind of a big deal? Anyway, after Edward was named Duke of Edinburgh, his previous title as Earl of Essex was passed down to James.

Lady Louise Windsor is James’s sister—and, yes, she’s below her brother on the line of succession despite being older than him because the 2013 Succession of the Crown Act does not apply to those born before it was enacted. Womp, womp. Like the Queen and her late sister, Princess Margaret, Lady Louise is a talented carriage driver—she even competed in the British Driving Society Championship for Young Drivers in 2017.

Princess Anne is the Queen’s second-born child, but she’s below her two younger brothers in the line of succession because, as with Lady Louise above her, the 2013 Succession of the Crown Act doesn’t apply retroactively. Princess Anne competed at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, riding her late mother’s horse, and she is a member of the International Olympic Committee. Oh, and she went viral for shrugging at President Trump.

Peter Phillips is Princess Anne's son and Queen Elizabeth’s oldest grandchild. He and his younger sister Zara were not given royal titles by their parents in an attempt to allow them to lead more “normal” lives.

Savannah is Peter and his ex-wife Autumn’s daughter. Because Princess Anne chose not to give Peter a title, Savannah doesn’t have one either—but she does have great taste in crown-like headbands, so it’s not all bad.
