I think that another gown was being made, but not finished before the cancellation - and due to quarantine, Beatrice was probably unable to visit the designer ... who might not have had staff to finish, unable to do fittings, etc. So the queen came to the rescueMarlene Eilers Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984860671065161997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-89909399280201973172020-07-20T17:40:09.010-04:002020-07-20T17:40:09.010-04:00The status of a prince is defined by Letters Paten...The status of a prince is defined by Letters Patent. Their passports will show their rank or profession as Prince of the UK of GB and NI. This also appears on the birth certificates of their children. However, sons of the sovereign and sons of the heir apparent are usually given dukedoms, which a peerage. This changes how they are styled. HRH The Duke of Cambridge. In the UK, the sovereign and peers of the realm are the only people who are not commoners .. everyone else, including princes and princesses are legally commoners. Dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts, barons ar peers of the realm. They are separate from royalty ... there is a precedence for the peerage. Peerage of England, peerage of Scotland, peerage of Great Britain and Peerage of the United Kingdom. <br /><br />A princess does not take her husband's rank unless it is higher than hers (ie a king) HRH Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood is how she was styled after her husband succeeded to the earldom. When they got married, he was Viscount Lascelles. So she was Princess Mary, Viscountess Harewood. Antony Armstrong Jones did not get his earldom until six weeks before the birth of his son. Margaret was not styled as HRH The Princess Margaret, Mrs. Anthony Armstrong Jones. But when hubby accepted the earldom, it was announced that she would be styled as HRH The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. <br />http://royalmusingsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2010/11/british-style-for-princess.html<br /><br />a princess is a higher rank than an earl This is based on the table of precedence. But the princess's title is based on her relationship to the sovereign. Only daughters and granddaughters of the sovereign are HRH and Princess. A princess cannot pass her title to children. The present dukes of Gloucester and Kent are HRHs and Princes so their precedence is due to the relationship to the sovereign (first cousins.) But when their sons succeed, the two dukes will cease to be royal as the present dukes are grandsons of a sovereign (George V) in the male lines. Their sons will become peers but because two peerages are peerages of the United Kingdom, their precedence will drop below the Dukes in the Peerage of England, the Peerage of Scotland and the Peerage of GB.<br /><br />It is more about how a royal is styled. http://royalmusingsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2018/07/so-how-will-william-and-catherine-by.html<br />Marlene Eilers Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984860671065161997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-44635505983920391492020-07-20T16:55:20.740-04:002020-07-20T16:55:20.740-04:00Hi Marlene,
I know Edoardo's title is not leg...Hi Marlene,<br /><br />I know Edoardo's title is not legal but I was wondering about other princesses of the blood and their titles.<br /><br />When a dukedom/earldom is given to a prince, the prince will primarily be referred to by their new title, right? For example Prince William and Prince Edward are referred to as The Duke of Cambridge and The Earl of Wessex. Because a duke/earl is considered higher title than "just" a prince?<br /><br />Why are princesses referred to as The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon or The Princess Mary, COountess of Harewood after their marriage? Instead of just Countess of Snowdon or Countess of Harewood? Is being blood princess considered as higher title than their husband's non-royal noble title?<br /><br />I'm so confused with British titles sometimes...
