Then she fell further when Andrew, the Duke of York, and Edward, the Earl of Wessex, had children.

Just recently Princess Eugenie gave birth to a baby boy, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, who is 11th in line to the throne.

The new Act applies to those born after 2011 and until now Princess Charlotte was the only member of the Royal Family affected.
