Two royal babies are due to be born in 2021 thanks to Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall, which means the line of succession will shift. <\/p>\n

Both royals will give birth this year, with Princess Eugenie expecting her first child with husband Jack Brooksbank in February, and Zara and her husband Mike preparing to welcome their third baby in the spring.<\/p>\n

The births will mean a change of Royal status for Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Zara Tindall and Zara's children. <\/p>\n

Princess Eugenie, 30, is 10th in line to the throne and her first child will bump down other Royals – including Princess Anne who is currently 14th, and her daughter Zara, and Prince Edward who is currently 11th.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While Princess Anne is the Queen and Prince Philip's second eldest child, at the time of her birth royal daughters forfeited their place in the line of succession to any brothers they might have.<\/p>\n

Therefore 70-year-old Princess Anne was leap-frogged in the line of succession by her younger brothers Prince Andrew, 60, and Prince Edward, 56, and their children – Princess Beatrice, 32, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor, 17, and James, Viscount Severn, who is 13-years-old.<\/p>\n
