Prince Harry is to be pushed down to fifth in line to the throne following news that the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant with her second baby.
Harry had dropped to fourth in the line of succession after Prince William’s first child, Prince George was born in July last year; he has now fallen further down just days before his 30th birthday on September 15, following the announcement.
Regardless of the baby’s sex, he or she will take Harry’s fourth spot when, as expected, the baby is born next year – making it extremely unlikely that the Prince will ever become king.
