Thank you for clarifying Lady Louise and her brother will not undertake royal duties. It explains to me why her life seemed so private from the public eye.
Louise can use the title Princess, if she wants.
Congratulation to her examine.
Drea, no she can’t. It was made clear at the time of the wedding and when Louise was born that she and any other children would not have royal titles. It’s not her decision never was never will be in the late 1990s the way ahead group discussed making the royal family smaller. One idea was to demote Beatrice and Eugenie to lady Beatrice and lady Eugenie as daughters of a Duke. This was vetoed, but the plan was implemented when Edward got married, which was a year. It’s clear from the original announcement that the queen decided that their children would not be styled as Royals. This was also reiterated when James was born son. What the queen should have done was issue a letters patent, but didn’t .
Thank you. I've gotten so tired of the narrative over the years that Louise and James would be able to choose whether or not be HRH Prince/ss when they turned 18. I knew that wasn't true, but it had been so long that I couldn't remember if it was by Letters Patent or simply that The Queen had "let it be known" that they wouldn't be styled as royals.
