Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, is the oldest child of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde. The 16-year-old, is the immediate heir to the throne, and impressively opened the Princess Elisabeth Children’s Hospital in 2011.

According to the Palace, she loves playing sports, has been playing piano for a few years and enjoys volunteer work. She currently goes to school in Brussels.

Two-year-old Princess Charlotte is fourth in line for the British throne, following her big brother, Prince George. She’ll become a big sister in April 2018, when her parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, welcome their third child, who will be the fifth heir to the crown.

Four-year-old Prince George is the oldest child and only son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the great-grandson of Queen Elizabeth II. The tot is currently third in line for the throne following his grandfather, Prince Charles, and his father, Prince William.

The twelve-year-old is also a grandson of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world’s longest-reigning monarch before the title was taken by Queen Elizabeth II. King Bhumibol Adulyadej died in October 2016.

Prince Dipangkorn is considered next in line for the throne, and is currently studying at a private school in Germany. His mother is a commoner, Srirasmi Suwadee, whom Vajiralongkorn wed in 2001 as his third marriage.

Prince Alexander’s younger brother and the youngest member of Sweden’s Bernadotte Dynasty was just born in August this year. The three-month-old is Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia’s second child and is sixth in the line of succession, following his older sibling.

Prince Alexander Erik Hubertus Bertil, Duke of Södermanland, is one of Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar’s cousins. (His father, Prince Carl Philip, is their mother Crown Princess Victoria’s younger brother.)

image

Princess Sofia de Borbón y Ortiz, Infanta of Spain (meaning the child of the reigning monarch) is the second daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, and younger sister of Princess Leonor. At 10 years old, she is second in line for the throne, following her older sibling.

Princess Leonor of Spain

Leonor de Borbón y Ortiz, 12, holds the title of Princess of Asturias, meaning she’s the official heir to the throne. She’s the elder daughter of King Felipe VI (who inherited the crown after his father King Juan Carlos I’s abdication in 2014) and Queen Letizia. Her other titles include Princess of Girona, Princess of Viana, Duchess of Montblanc, Countess of Cervera and Lady of Balaguer.

Prince Sverre Magnus of Norway
image

Eleven-year-old Prince Sverre Magnus is the third in line for the throne, following his father, Prince Haakon, and big sister, Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

He famously stole the show at his grandparents’ 80th birthday celebrations when he dabbed on the balcony during a royal photo opp. What a rebel.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway
image

Thirteen-year-old Princess Ingrid Alexandra is second in line for the throne, following her father, Crown Prince Haakon. She is also the granddaughter of Norway’s King Harald.

Though she’s still an early teen, the princess has already begun participating in official royal engagements, like the annual children’s parade and the traditional ski jumping tournament in Oslo.

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands
image

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima’s third and youngest daughter is Princess Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Ines, Princess of Orange-Nassau. The ten-year-old is third in the line of succession, following her two siblings. In addition to sharing her oldest sister’s hobbies, she also enjoys drawing.

Princess Ariane of the Netherlands

Princess Alexia Juliana Marcela Laurentien, Princess of Orange-Nassau, is the second daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. She’s also one of Princess Catharina-Amalia’s younger sisters. The 12-year-old royal is second in line for the throne, following her older sibling.

Princess Catherina-Amalia of the Netherlands
image

Princess Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria, 14, is the oldest child of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. She holds the titles of Princess of Orange, (meaning she’s first in line for the crown), Princess of the Netherlands and Princess of Orange-Nassau.

According to the Palace, her hobbies include horse riding and hockey, but she also has a musical side and enjoys singing and playing the piano.

Princess Lalla Khadija of Morocco
image

The 10-year-old princess is the second child of King Mohammed VI and Princess Lalla Salma and the younger sister of Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan. Like her brother, the young royal began participating in public engagements at an early age, starting with an inauguration of a children’s cancer center in Casablanca with her mother in 2013.

Prince Moulay El Hassan of Morocco
image

Prince Moulay El Hassan is the first son of King Mohammed VI and Princess Lalla Salma and the first in line for the throne after his father.

The 14-year-old began taking on public engagements with his father in 2015 and made headlines in 2016 for refusing to let foreign dignitaries kiss his hand when he met them. Despite breaking protocol, the prince is consistently sharply dressed for his appearances.

Princess Gabriella of Monaco
image

The royal two-year-old is technically the first child (by two minutes) of Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, and the granddaughter of Prince Rainier and Princess Consort Grace Kelly. Her twin brother, Prince Jacques, with whom she often shares matching outfits with, is next in line for the crown.

Prince Jacques of Monaco
image

Prince Jacques is the son of sovereign Prince Albert and his wife, Princess Charlene, and the grandchild of Prince Ranier and Grace Kelly. The two-year-old has a twin sister, Princess Gabriella. Even though he was born two minutes after his sibling, he is the heir to the throne, because in Monaco royal inheritance is passed on to the first-born male child, even if he has an older sister.

Prince Hashem of Jordan
image

Twelve-year-old Prince Hashem is the fourth and youngest child of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah.

Since his older brother, Crown Prince Al Hussein, currently has no male heirs, according to the Jordanian constitution, Prince Hashem is technically next in line for the throne, but that will change if Al Hussein bears a son.

Princess Salma of Jordan
image

Princess Salma, 17, is the third child and first daughter of King Abdullah II (pictured) and Queen Rania Al Abdullah. She has three siblings: Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, 23, Princess Princess Iman, 21, and Prince Hashem, 12.

The royal teen is not an heir to the throne because the Jordanian constitution states that the royal title is passed from the king to his eldest son.

Prince Hisahito of Japan
image

The grandson of Japan’s Emperor Akihito is third in line for the Imperial Throne. His parents are Prince Akishino, the Emperor’s younger son, and Princess Kiko. The royal tween just turned 11 in September, but here he is photographed on his first day of school at Ochanomizu University Elementary School.

Prince Hisahito’s older sister Princess Mako, 25, famously announced this year that she’s giving up her royal status to marry her commoner fiancé, Kei Komuro.

Princess Athena of Denmark
image

Five-year-old Princess Athena Françoise Marie, Countess of Monpezat is the youngest of Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik’s grandchildren. She’s also the younger of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie’s two children together. She follows her brother Prince Henrik as the 10th in line for the throne.

Prince Henrik of Denmark
image

Prince Henrik Carl Joachim Alain, Count of Monpezat, is Prince Joachim and Princess Mary’s first child together. (They wed in 2008, four years after he divorced Countess Alexandra.) The eight-year-old is ninth in line for the throne, after his half-brother Prince Felix.

Prince Felix of Denmark
image

Prince Felix Henrik Valdemar Christian, Count of Monpezat, is the 15-year-old son of Prince Joachim and Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg (pictured). Like his older brother, he is still included in the line of succession, though his parents are divorced.

Prince Nikolaj of Denmark
image

Prince Nikolai William Alexander Frederik, 18, is the oldest son of Prince Joachim (Crown Prince Frederik’s younger brother) and Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg. Like Prince Frederik’s children, he and his siblings are also grandchildren to Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik. He also holds title of Count of Monpezat.

Although his parents divorced in 2004, Prince Nikolai is still in line for the throne, in seventh place, after his dad.

Princess Josephine of Denmark
image

Prince Vincent has a twin sister, Princess Josephine Sophia Ivalo Mathilda, Princess of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat. She follows her fraternal twin in line for the Danish throne.

Prince Vincent of Denmark
image

Prince Vincent Frederik Minik Alexander, Count of Monpezat, is the third child of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary. The six-year-old follows his older sister Princess Isabella in the line of succession.

Princess Isabella of Denmark
image

Princess Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe, 10, is the second child of the crown prince and princess. Thanks to a recent amendment in the Danish law of royal succession—which changed inheritance from male-preferred primogeniture to absolute primogeniture—she’s next in line for the throne, following her older brother, Prince Christian.

Prince Christian of Denmark
image

Twelve-year-old Christian Valdemar Henri John, Prince of Denmark, Count of Monpezat is the first son of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary and grandson of Queen Margrethe II, the reigning monarch, and Prince Henrik. He also holds the title of Count of Monpezat and is second in line for the throne, following his father.

Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan
image

Bhutan’s crown prince is the first child of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema (the world’s youngest living queen, at 27 years old).

Here, the one-year-old Dragon Prince is photographed with his father and Indian foreign minister Sushma Swaraj. He also melts hearts monthly in adorable calendar photos.

Princess Eléonore of Belgium
image

The King and Queen’s fourth and youngest child is nine-year-old Princess Eléonore, who is fourth in line for the throne. She also attends school in Brussels, plays violin and likes to draw.

Prince Emmanuel of Belgium
image

Prince Emmanuel, 12, is the King and Queen’s third child. He’s third in line for the throne and is apparently a big nature fan and a flute-player. Unlike his older siblings, he attends school in Leuven.

Prince Gabriel of Belgium
image

Prince Gabriel is the second child of the King and Queen of Belgium, and the second in line for the throne, following his older sister. Like Princess Elisabeth, the 14-year-old also goes to school in Brussels and enjoys a variety of sports, from football to sailing.
