The new heir to the throne

Queen Elizabeth II is the mother of two young children, Prince Charles, who turned three last November 14, and Princess Anne, who was born in August 1950.

Prince Charles  was styled as HRH Prince Charles of Edinburgh until his mother's accession.  He now is HRH The Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfew, Lord of the Isles and Great Steward of Scotland.

He will not become the Prince of Wales until his "mother decides to grant it."  The last prince of Wales, now the Duke of Windsor, did not receive the honor until his sixteenth birthday in 1910," reports the New York Times.

HRH Princess Anne of Edinburgh is now HRH The Princess Anne.
