The British line of succession shifted significantly following the heartbreaking death of Queen Elizabeth II. Her eldest child, the former Prince Charles, succeeded to the throne, making Prince William the first in line to the throne.
The King or Queen is a hereditary title and passes down a line of succession, meaning the next will take over immediately after the incumbent dies or abdicates.
In the past, male heirs were favoured in primogeniture laws, meaning that a younger son of a sitting monarch would be in line before their older sister, such as the case of Princess Anne, who is below her younger brothers, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
The laws around this changed in 2011 following the Perth Agreement, meaning that Princess Charlotte was not moved down the line of succession following the birth of her younger brother, Prince Louis.

Meet the 10 royals below…
Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi - tenth in line to the throne

Their daughter doesn't hold a royal title because Edoardo wasn't granted a title when they tied the knot. However, Edoardo does have ties to nobility, meaning that Sienna will one day be passed on the whimsical title of Nobile Donna (Noble Woman).
August and Ernest Brooksbank - 12th and 13th in line to the throne

Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall - 18th and 21st in line to the throne

While the late Queen did offer Princess Anne's first husband Captain Mark Phillips an earldom, he declined the offer. In a similar vein, Anne also turned down her mother's offer to give Zara and Peter royal titles.
Reflecting on her decision, Princess Anne told Vanity Fair in 2020: "I think most people would argue that there are downsides to having titles… So I think that was probably the right thing to do."
Meanwhile in 2015, Zara, 42, told The Times: "I'm very lucky that both my parents decided to not use the title and we grew up and did all the things that gave us the opportunity to do."
Savannah and Isla Phillips - 19th and 20th in line to the throne

Mia, Lena and Lucas Tindall - 22nd, 23rd and 24th in line to the throne
