No self-respecting royalist could forget Princess Charlotte’s birthday. The little princess turns on May 2 and, in just five sweet years, has managed to win the hearts and minds of the British nation with her adorable public appearances and equally-adorable style.

Here’s what we know about the second child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.
She’s fourth in line to the British throne, making royal history
Traditionally, the males of the royal family inherited the British throne before their older sisters (Princess Charlotte has a younger brother, Prince Louis, aged two). But, in 2015, the Perth Agreement came into force, which meant that males would no longer take precedence in the line of succession.
For the first time in royal history, a princess has dibs on the throne before her younger brother.

Prince George follows Charles, the Prince of Wales, and his father, the Duke of Cambridge, as heir apparent.
