In case you missed it, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their third child.
(We’re kidding, you could have been living in the Amazon and still have known about this.)
Speculation around the unborn royal’s gender and name aside, it got us thinking about the royal children and what happens to the next generation, say when Prince George and Princess Charlotte start having kids.
(Yes, we know, we’re getting ahead of ourselves, but still…)
What will their titles be?
Well, it seems that despite the royal ruling that Kate and William's firstborn would have eventually rule, no matter what their gender, there's still some sexism in that British royal rulebook.

Prince Edward's children are not Prince/ Princess either.. Yes, Princess Anne refused titles for her children when offered - nothing to do with gender.. Prince Edward's children are likewise not Prince/ Princess.. The York title comes with privileges (ie, kids are Princess/ Prince) so that explains Beatrice & Eugenie..
As for the Duchess of Cambridge, she will enjoy a name change if / when Prince Charles goes up a notch and her husband likewise..
I'm not an avid royalist and I am aware of all of this.
There is enough actual gender bias to deal without writing erroneous pieces.. It does not do the cause any favours!. Please at least fact check before you write..
Perhaps these laws surrounding titles hark back to the days when Royal children(daughters) were used as pawns and only married other Royal/, therefore the daughters would adopt their husband's title?
