Archie was born seventh in line Credit: Dominic Lipinski/PA  Andrews eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, has moved to 10th in line. His youngest, Princess Eugenie, has fallen out of the top 10 to become 11th in line, and her son August has moved to 12th place, the Earl of Wessex to 13th place and the Princess Royal to 16th. There will be further changes in the autumn when Beatrices baby arrives and becomes 11th in line. Lili is the Queens 11th great-grandchild, and the first of the monarch and the Duke of Edinburghs great-grandchildren to be born since Philips death in April. Listen to the Royal Rota, our royal podcast:  The Queens great-grandchildren are: Savannah and Isla Phillips; George, Charlotte and Louis; Mia, Lena and Lucas Tindall; Archie and his sister, and August Brooksbank. Beatrices son or daughter will become the monarchs 12th great-grandchild. The Sussexes new baby will not require the Queens permission to marry. For hundreds of years, the Royal Marriages Act 1772 meant descendants of George II had to seek the sovereigns consent before they wed, otherwise their marriages were deemed invalid.

As the new baby is eighth in line, she will not at present need to seek a monarchs approval to wed.  She might have to do so in the future though, when the Duke of Cambridge eventually becomes king and if there have been no further additions ahead of her in the succession line. George III, George IIs grandson, had ordered the 1772 Act after his younger brother, the Duke of Cumberland, secretly married Lady Anne Horton, deemed to be a highly disreputable widow of a commoner.
