Of Queen Charlotte and George III's 15 children, 13 of them survived into adulthood. Two of their sons died in childhood. Prince Octavius was born on Feb. 23, 1779, and was the queen's 13th child.
Why? Royal custom dictates that royal titles are passed down via sons, but not daughters.
Due to the introduction of the Perth Agreement, which replaced male preference in the line of succession with absolute primogeniture – when the child of the sovereign has the same right to the throne no matter their gender – Charlotte did not move down the line of succession when her younger brother, Louis, was born.
All royals are expected to bow or curtsy to the sovereign and his wife, King Charles and Queen Camilla.
It would take extraordinary circumstances to ever see Charlotte as queen, but as we've seen before in history — it can happen. It's more likely that she will become Princess Royal, which is “customarily given by the Sovereign to his or her eldest daughter” and is considered an honorary title.

It's explained in the very beginning of the first episode that “it is not a history lesson. It is fiction inspired by fact. All liberties taken by the author are quite intentional.”
The British Line of Succession. Charles is now King—here's who will follow him to the throne. When Queen Elizabeth died, her eldest son and heir, the former Prince Charles, automatically became King Charles, and the line of succession shifted.
This is because when a member of the royal family has a child, tradition says that only the father may pass on his title, and the only princes and princesses in the family have fathers in the direct line of succession.
Gary's recently said that his biggest regret is telling Charlottethat he loved her. And yet she still goes back for more, every time.
Charlotte stopped trusting Emily when she told Emily that she thought her mother was having an affair, and Emily told others as a way to manipulate people for her plans of revenge. Charlotte then did everything she could to ruin Daniel and Emily's engagement by adding Sara Munello to the equation.
