Princess Charlotte is due to be granted one of the "grandest" royal titles after it was reserved for her by King Charles.
According to a new book written by veteran royal correspondent Robert Jobson, the seven-year-old's title will change from Princess Charlotte of Wales as she grows older.

This meant punching him, pulling his ears, all out of sight in the scrum,” he wrote for the British outlet.“[Charles] never said a word.
