While we know that the British Royal Family tree can get confusing, Zara is currently 21st in the line of succession to the throne.
Is Zara Phillips a princess?
Due to an old tradition which means only male royals can pass down royal titles, Zara is not a Princess as her father, Mark Philips, is a commoner.
Additionally, Princess Anne decided against giving her children titles, something Zara has spoken about publically saying: "I’m very lucky that both my parents decided to not use the title and we grew up and did all the things that gave us the opportunity to do."
