According to this
article in Readers Digest(who have been wrong before) this is the line of succession.
1. Prince Charles
2. Prince William
3. Prince George
4. Princess Charlotte
5. Prince Louis
And
this article says...
Male royals have traditionally had precedence over their sisters when it comes to inheriting the crown. But thanks to the Succession of the Crown Act in 2013, a female child can officially maintain her place in line for succession, no matter the gender of her younger sibling or siblings.
That spells good news for Princess Charlotte, who is currently fourth in line for the throne. She may not be the youngest anymore, but her status for the crown doesn’t change—even though she now has a little brother, age takes precedence over gender for the first time in royal succession history.
