When British Royals Have Access To Each Other’s Closets

  The monarch's children and patrilineal grandchildren, and the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, are automatically entitled to be known as prince or princess with the style of His or Her Royal Highness (HRH). Peerages, often dukedoms, are bestowed upon most princes prior to marriage. Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, children of the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, are therefore not prince and princess. Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and James Mountbatten-Windsor, Viscount Severn, though entitled to dignity, are not called prince and princess because their parents, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, wanted them to have more modest titles. Prince Charles reportedly wishes to reduce the number of titled members of the royal family when he becomes king.
