A new royal baby boy has been born: Prince Louis. This means that Prince Harry moves one step further down the Royal Line of Succession.

How does he correspond into the Royal Line of Succession?

Under the Succession to the Crown Act, princes no longer take superiority over their sisters-bringing an end to the system of male priority. Therefore, Princess Charlotte is fourth in line to the throne. As Princess Charlotte is Princess Kate and Prince William’s second child, she will be before Prince Louise in the royal line of succession.

Here is the close line of succession:

1. Prince Charles Mountbatten-Windsor, Prince of Wales is first in line with a certain chance to obtain the throne once the Queen steps down.
2. Second in line is Prince William IV Mountbatten-Windsor of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge.
3. The son of Prince William- Prince George VII is the third in the line of succession.
4. Princess Charlotte is fourth.
5. Prince Louis is fifth.
6. With the birth of Prince Louis, Prince Harry has now moved to sixth in line to be king.
