AuroraCake thank you for explaining - now I understand.

Archie and Lilibet will be the last of the prince/sses in that line.

Girls cannot pass on titles.

No their children wouldn't have prince or princess titles. Lili's wouldn't have any titles.

You need to be a grandchild of the monarch in the male line. However with a dukedom the kids inherit titles of a duke. And Archie will be Duke of Sussex and his children entitled to be Lord and Lady etc.

Interesting, thank you. I'd forgotten that the Duke of Sussex title would live on through Archie and beyond (assuming male heirs are born). It would be interesting to see what a Duke of Sussex would do with their title in several generations time in America!

Ww they have moved to life long Dukedoms now. So Harry's will be the last to be passed on. James won't inherit.

It's only the Duke of Edinburgh title which is life long. Charles wants it to remain royal, which it wouldn't if passed down to James. I've seen no evidence thay Sussex is lifelong. I would assume that Archie inherits and passes it on, like the dukedoms of Kent and Gloucester, which pass on to non princes, and cease to be royal.

It will be, won't it?
Intriguing enough with a prince and princess growing up in California.

Eton as a town is tiny. Most of it seems to be Eton College.
As a pp, it isn't in Windsor, so the boys would not be walking down Peascod Street to go from one lesson to another.

@AuroraCake , Girls cannot pass on titles. The late Queen did.

Yes as it stands he will. But theyvare obviously moving in the future to lifelong.

An exception was made just as it was for Prince Williams children.

I think that's wrong. Not because of H's behaviour or the fact his dcs live in another country. We need less people with titles not more in the 22st century. H's dukedom is an honorary one anyway. It's just silly for it to be passed down.

That is the system but they are obviously changing it. Obviously Edward to start and Harrybwould have had to follow suit. But that didn't work. So now it will be Charlotte and George.

As to the late Queen's children being HRH Prince/Princess, only Andrew and Edward became so without special intervention as the children born to a queen regnant.

While she was Princess Elizabeth, her father King George VI had to issue Letters Patent so that Charles and Anne would be HRH Prince/Princess; otherwise they would only have had titles from their father's dukedom.

How do you know this?

Harry's Dukedom is not "honorary".
It was bestowed by the monarch, and will be passed down, as there has been nothing to indicate otherwise.

I don't think there's any evidence that it's "changing", unless you've seen something from the Palace? The only anomaly is the Dukedom of Edinburgh.

@Maireas is right. Harry's dukedom is hereditary to the "heirs male of his body lawfully begotten." I can't find the actual LPs, but that has been the usual language for royal dukedoms for centuries. If Harry's had been for life, that would have been reported as it was for Prince Edward. Also, while Edward's dukedom is for life, his earldom is not; right now James is Earl of Wessex by courtesy, as it's his father's secondary title, but when Edward dies, James will become Earl of Wessex in his own right.

Thank you, @SenecaFallsRedux . That's exactly as I understand it.

If they did it for Edward they will do the same for Louis and or Charlotte. It makes huge sense anyway and far better.

It doesn't make sense, really. I don't think you have any evidence that the entire system is changing, do you?

Well the entirety of common law is based on one setting a precedent. There ain't exactly many Dukedoms left now anyway. And the point is to keep Edinburgh royal so if it gets passed to Louis and Charlotte to be passed down it would cease to be royal. Sussex will cease to be royal after Archie. Kent and Gloucester with the next generation.

Charterhouse's campus is very open - would be more difficult in terms of security. Wellington has a reputation (unfairly or not) for being 'flashy' and full of celebrities' kids - I doubt that would appeal to William and Kate. I suspect they will opt for co-ed, although clearly Eton is under serious consideration.

Marlborough is only an hour's drive from Windsor and 45 mins from Kate's family in Bucklebury, plus Eugenie went there so there's a precedent of them being able to logistically accommodate royal children. William and Kate are also big users of the royal helicopter, including when they travel privately between their homes (I'm not a fan, but anyway...) so that would further cut down on journey times.

We aren't talking about Common Law.
This is something very different indeed.
Gloucester, Sussex, Kent and Wessex will cease to be royal, that is true. It does not mean that Harry's Dukedom is "honorary" or future dukedoms are "lifelong only".
Two unsubstantiated claims.

I never said it was honorary. You don't get honorary Dukedoms.

I do think they are moving to lifelong Dukedoms but we won't know again for at least about 25 years.

Amd it wouldn't be before time.
