Everything About Queen Elizabeth's Great-Grandchildren

The late Queen Elizabeth had a long reign, serving for nearly 71 years. In her time as a Queen, she was also a mother, then a grandmother, and finally a great-grandmother. She had four children of her own: Princess Anne, King Charles, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward. They all went on to have children of their own, and those children are now of an age to have their own kids.

It’s a lot to keep track of, but for fans of the UK royal family, we’ve compiled a list of the Queen’s great-grandchildren and which branch of the royal family they hail from. You might not be able to memorize them all, but this is a good cheat sheet.

William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, welcomed their first child, Prince George, on July 22, 2013. George’s name honors Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI. After his dad, George, now 9, is next in line to the throne. Their next child is Princess Charlotte, born on May 2, 2015. Their youngest is Prince Louis, born on April 23, 2018.

The Succession to the Crown Act of 2013 means that Charlotte, 7, is next in line after George to the throne, followed by Louis, 5. Old laws prevented Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth’s second oldest child, from being next in line to the throne after her brother Charles. Birth order now determines succession over gender.

The family moved in 2022 from London’s Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

Zara Tindall and husband Mike Tindall welcomed now nine-year-old daughter Mia Tindall, on January 17, 2014. Zara initially dealt with fertility issues, and Mike told The Sunday Times in 2017 that Mia was their “saving grace” shortly after his wife experienced a miscarriage.

They went on to have two more children, now four-year-old daughter Lena Tindall, who was born on June 18, 2018, and now two-year-old son, Lucas Philip Tindall, born on March 21, 2021. The family recently moved to be closer to Princess Anne, settling in at her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, welcomed their son Archie Harrison on May 6, 2019. Their second child, a little girl, was born June 4, 2021. Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana was named after the late Princess Diana, her grandmother. She also was given the name Queen Elizabeth used as a child, honoring her lineage.

“Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet,” the couple said in a statement. “Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.”

There are not many photos of either of their kids out there, though they occasionally release them for big events, like for Lili’s first birthday that fell during Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. And yes, she’s adorable.

Both children will likely inherit new titles when Charles is officially coronated, becoming Prince and Princess. They live in Montecito, California, where Harry and Meghan moved after stepping back from their duties as working members of the royal family.
