Given the longegivity of the late Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, assuming that The Queen lives to see her 6 eldest grandchildren marry and have children, and potentially James and Louise reach adulthood. How do you think the next generation of Her Majesties descendants should be titled?
Should any changes only be applied to one generation or should the rules be compeletely changed for all future generations?
Current rules are that HRH is an automatic right only for the children, male line grand children and the eldest son of the eldest son of The Prince of Wales.

Interesting question, Duke Rico. I'll be interested to see what people say.

With the reduction in who gets titles (i.e. Lady Louise Windsor), does it seem as though the royal family is untitling itself out of existence?
Also, reducing who gets titles and who doesn't also seems to reduce the amount of support to the sovereign, does it not? I presume Lady Louise and Viscount Severn will not carry out any royal duties, so that would leave the titled royals at William (and Kate), Harry, Beatrice and Eugenie.
It doesn't seem like a lot of people. At least not as many people as there are now with Anne, Andrew, Edward, Sophie, the current Dukes of Kent and Gloucester and Princess Alexandra.

I first want them to fix the issue of female heirs and their place in the order of succession. I think that will affect the HRH issue. I think it would be appalling if William and Catherine were to have a daughter first, a son second and for the daughter to be placed after her brother in the order of succession! It would be equally appalling that she would not be HRH because she's not a boy.
The options with HH above surprised me. Do we have instances of Her/His Highness in in the British royal family?

Wendy,
The British royal family had HH for male line great grandchildren up until 1917, before that all of children born to the sons of the Prince of Wales were HRHs while their cousin children were HHs

Current rules are that HRH is an automatic right only for the children, male line grand children and the eldest son of the eldest son of The Prince of Wales. Queen Victoria solved the problem of the eldest son of The Prince of Wales having more than just the one child in her life time by issuing Letters Patent granting the style and title HRH and Prince/Princess specifically. The tradition of HH [Highness] fell out of practice in the United Kingdom after the Hanoverians. |
