Will the new prince be king?


To end up being King or Queen as the third-born royal kid is unusual - and has yet to take place within the present House of Windsor.


But the third kid of George III and Queen Charlotte, William IV, handled the job and ruled from 1830 to 1837.


The Hanoverian king acceded to the throne aged 64 when his older bro, George IV, died without a successor.


He ended up being next in line when he was 62 and his other older brother, Frederick, Duke of York, died.
