The heir apparent is someone whose position as the next in line for a throne cannot be lost by the mere existence of a new contender. For example, Princess Anna of Arendelle is the next in line for the throne as Queen Elsa's next-of-kin in the royal line but, if Elsa ever has a child, Anna will lose her status so she's heir presumptive instead of heir apparent.
