Maybe Christian will still be available in 20 years
She won't be a queen unless her brother dies without heirs (or abdicates like Edward did)....or she marries into another royal family.
At most (unless one of the above happens) she would be a Princess Royal which can't happen for a long long time.

I am still holding out Christian for Louise anyway LOL.
I love the name! Charlotte is so pretty, and I love the 2 middle names- in honor of 2 very special people! It just suits her- regal. Queen Charlotte - sounds great! And if I'm not mistaken first Queen Charlotte in history?
I've always pictured James marrying Estelle of Sweden (he's 5 years older than she is, but that is not such a big difference) or Ingrid-Alexandra of Norway (who is 3 years older than he is).
Maybe I'm partial to the Wessex children, as I think they've been wronged by their parents when they were denied their HRH titles, but Sophie's and Edward's friendship with several continental royal houses put James and Louise in an interesting position.

There is another possibility: if her brother converts to Catholicism before having any other legitimate Protestant children of his own, she will become first in line.
There is also the possibility that gender neutral primogeniture may be in the future extended to peerages, in which case the monarch might consider creating her a duchess on her own, as opposed to princess royal, with the peerage becoming inheritable by her first born child.
Charles made clear he intends to thoroughly spoil the latest addition to his growing family - and admitted that he hopes she, in turn, will spoil him.
Touring his model town development, Poundbury, near Dorchester, Dorset, the prince beamed as he told well-wishers: 'She is beautiful.
'I was hoping for a grand-daughter - someone to look after me when I am very old.'
Not the first. Examples:
- Queen Charlotte née Princess von Mecklenburg-Strelitz, spouse of King George III of Great Britain.
- Queen Charlotte Augusta of Württemberg née Princess of Great Britain
- Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg, Duchess of Nassau
- Empress Charlotte of Mexico née Princess of Belgium
- Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia née Princess Charlotte of Prussia
- Princess Charlotte of Monaco, Duchess of Valentinois
- Queen Charlotte of France née Princess of Savoy
Etc.
Absolutely agree. At least we could be talking about what nursery school she attends first.
Who cares if they were regents or consorts, they were Queens nonetheless. Any member of the family not named Elizabeth, Victoria, Anne, or Mary would be the first Queen Regant with their name. If Elizabeth had died her sister would be the first Queen Margaret. If hAlf the family falls into a fault line that sprung up over night then a Queen Zara, Beatrice, or Eugenie would be the first QR with their name. If Charles had kicked the bucket it would be the first King Andrew.
I think George will probably go to Ludgrove as his prep school when he's ready to go off to boarding school. Both William and Harry were happy there. He may well go on to Eton as William enjoyed his time at the school.
I've often wished though that the BRF would choose a good foreign boarding school, in France or Switzerland perhaps, where the tutoring is of a high standard but the students can really learn two or three foreign languages. William's French is atrocious and it would be good for George to speak other languages fluently and well. Other heirs do.
