Prince Louis, the youngest of Prince William and Kate Middleton almost did not get his royal title. But a major change from Queen Elizabeth II made it possible. Explanations.
The aerial ballet Trooping the Color fast approaching. It looks like Meghan and Harry weren’t invited. Either way, Royal Family fans can’t wait to see Prince Louis participate. Remember, the year before the little boy had stolen the show at this great royal event by entertaining everyone with his hilarious antics and grimaces. Standing next to her great-grandmother on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, he covered his ears when the RAF flypast passed overhead.
Currently, the five-year-old boy is fourth in line to the throne. Behind her father, Prince William, and her older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Its official title is His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Wales. However, he might not have become a prince. Indeed, a major change made by the former queen finally made it possible.

Prince Louis deprived of his title? Queen Elizabeth II changes the rules
Queen Elizabeth II intervened to overturn a rule put in place by King George V. In 1917, the latter established new guidelines for members of the royal family who were allowed to bear titles. And those deemed too far from the line of succession to be able to obtain it. He decided that all the sovereign’s children would automatically become prince or princess, as well as all grandchildren born in the male line. However, great-grandchildren were not included in this list.
This posed a problem when George was born, who, although being our future king, should not have borne this title. The Queen intervened and said that George would get a title. She then decided to extend this change to all of Kate and William’s children. As a result, Charlotte and Louis also received a title at birth. However, if she hadn’t made this change, he would have become a prince when his grandfather, King Charles, ascended the throne.
