Meghan Markle and Prince Harry  have welcomed their first child into the world.

The royal baby was born at 5.26am on Monday, May 6.

The nation are still in the dark as regards to what the baby's name will be, and whether of not they will have a title.

As it stands Meghan and Harry's son won't be a Prince.

But even so, it will still have a claim to the throne.

Royal baby: What would have to happen for Harry and Meghan's baby to end up on the throne?

Royal fans are desperate to know everything about the newest addition to the Royal family.

For example, is it likely for Meghan and Harry’s child to ever end up on the throne?

Could they ever be King or Queen? And what would have to happen for them to become sovereign?

Even though Baby Sussex's name hasn't been revealed yet, he is seventh in line to the British throne.

Prince Harry remains in sixth place, but those below him have now been bumped a space further down.

It is actually very unlikely the Royal baby will ever become King or Queen.

This is because it will continue to drop down the ranks as other members of the Royal family grow up and start families.

Prince George is third in line to the throne, Princess Charlotte is fourth and Prince Louis is fifth.

And if George starts his own family they will be higher in the line of succession than Prince Harry’s child.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told “A member of the Royal family who is seventh in line to the throne could not possibly be King or Queen especially as George, Charlotte and Louis are likely to have families.”

So should Kate have more children, or their offspring have children of their own, Harry’s baby will be pushed further down the line of succession.

So far Royal children who have been seventh in line to the throne have never become sovereign since the 1701 Act of Settlement.

As it stands the throne will pass on to Prince Charles if the Queen abdicates, retires or passes away.

Next in line after the Prince of Wales is his eldest son Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, followed by his children.

For Baby Sussex to become King of Queen all those people would have to abdicate, retire or die and not start families – which is very unlikely.

In fact, Meghan and Harry’s child could potentially not even be given a royal title.
