I actually was going to post the same story via Hello magazine; I had assumed they got their information confused but if the the source is a lawyer for the court there is bound to be some truth. It is the monarch who grants the titles; the King has already broke tradition by creating Daniel Westling a Prince of Sweden with the rank of royal highness. Playing the devils advocate on titles being passed to the next generation why should females not be able to pass their princely status to their own children in the 21st century of absolute primogeniture?

...

F At least one former monarchy with male primogeniture did this. The grandsons and granddaughters of the late Shah of Iran have the HH Prince/Princess title if their mother married an Iranian national. The Aga Khan's Iranian HRH princely title was awarded because of his descent in the female line from Fath Ali Shah, one of the Qajar shahs, I believe.
