Who is bumped down the line of succession by Harry and Meghan's second child?
By Connor Sephton, news reporter  Harry and Meghan may have taken a step back as senior royals, but their baby daughter still takes a place in the line of succession. Sons traditionally came before daughters in the line of succession, even if they were born later. But changes to the law, made in 2013, mean age is now the only factor that affects the line to the throne. When someone in the line of succession has a baby, their child automatically comes after them and their other children, bumping others further down the line. Here is how the arrival of Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor affects things. Prince Charles  Now 72 years old, Prince Charles has been first in line to the throne since he was three - making him both the oldest and longest-serving heir apparent in our history. The father of Prince William and Prince Harry, he and the late Princess Diana divorced in 1996. He went on to marry Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005. Prince William  As the first-born of the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge is now second in line to the throne. He married Kate Middleton in 2011, and together they have three children: George, Charlotte and Louis. Although they officially reside in Kensington Palace, reports have recently suggested that the Cambridges may spend more time in Scotland. As a senior royal, the duke regularly undertakes duties on behalf of the Queen, including welcoming visiting heads of state on official visits to the UK. In 2015, he said: "All of us who will inherit the legacy of my grandmother's reign and generation need to do all we can to celebrate and learn from her story. Speaking for myself, I am privileged to have The Queen as a model for a life of service to the public."

The seven-year-old is third in the line of succession to the British throne - and like his father and grandfather, is expected to become king one day. A few months before he was born, a bill that ends succession to the Crown based on gender became law. This meant that even if Kate and William's first born had been a girl, they could become monarch in the future.

Her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, has regularly released pictures of her children to mark their birthdays. The latest photograph to be released showed Charlotte looking happy and relaxed in a floral summer dress.

Prince Harry  The arrival of William and Kate's three children meant that Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, moved down the line of succession - from third to sixth. Like his older brother, he served as a senior royal and stood in for the Queen on official duties after becoming a counsellor of state on his 21st birthday. In January 2020, the duke announced that he and his wife Meghan were taking a step back from royal life, giving up their patronages as a result. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor  Harry and Meghan's first child was born in May 2019. A name of German origin, Archie is the shortened version of Archibald, meaning "genuine", "bold" and "brave". Meanwhile, Harrison is of Aboriginal origin and means "son of Henry" or "son of Harry". His full name means "genuine, bold and brave son of Harry". Archie has not been given a royal title, with Harry and Meghan opting for "Master".

Lili is named after her great-grandmother the Queen - who was affectionately nicknamed Lilibet by her family - and her grandmother, the late Princess Diana. She will be entitled to be a princess and Archie a prince - both with HRH styles - when the Queen dies and Prince Charles becomes king. This is because they will have moved up the line of succession to become the children of a son of a monarch. Prince Andrew  Lili's arrival means the Duke of York is now ninth in line to the throne. His daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are 10th and 11th respectively. See an updated version of this story here.
