Additionally, royal parents may want their offspring to follow similar styling to themselves. It’s worth noting here that royal parents can decline the gift of a title, which the Queen’s daughter, Anne, chose to do for her children. He is also traditionally granted the title of Prince of Wales – a role in which Charles was invested in 1969.īeyond the first-born son, all children and grandchildren in the male line of the monarch are born a prince or princess. The eldest son always becomes the Duke of Cornwall. With a monarch’s children, there are automatic titles in play. We all know that Prince Philip opted for the Duke of Edinburgh, but Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, went with the title of Prince Consort. With husbands, it has historically been … trickier. The traditional title for a female spouse is Queen Consort – which came up earlier this year after Queen Elizabeth II shared her hope that the Duchess of Cornwall would one day use that honorific. Let’s kick off with what you call the sovereign’s spouse. Obviously, heading up the British monarchy you have the sovereign, and when you address them, it’s “His” or “Her Majesty.” Beyond that, most titles are a gift of the monarch. Who has one? Who doesn’t? When do royals get them and why? And, of course, why do some give them up or lose them? Questions like these crop up all the time, and frankly, given all the tradition and historical context involved, we don’t blame you if it gets a bit confusing. With the summer well and truly upon us and most of the Windsor clan taking a brief break, we thought we’d use the opportunity to take a look at royal titles.
