Birth secures line of succession for third generation
The last time the monarch met her great-grandson was when Queen Victoria was alive at the same time as her son Edward (later Edward VII), his son George (later George V), and his son Edward.
Christopher Warwick, royal biographer, noted: “Obviously the great thing is that the new royal birth secures the line of succession for the third generation, which is the first time since 1894, since the birth of Queen Victoria’s great-grandson, the future Edward VIII. We have got the sovereign and three heirs living in Charles, the heir presumptive in William, and now the baby prince — from that point of view it is good news.
