| May 21, 2018 at 21:07 | comment | added | TheHonRose | There is an interesting sidelight on this - IIRC, when it became apparent that the then Princess Elizabeth would succeed her father, in default of a male heir, consideration was given to creating her Princess of Wales sui juris. However, as this title has always been held by the wife of the monarch's eldest son, by virtue of marriage, it was regarded as a sort of "demotion" from heiress presumptive and therefore was not bestowed. | |
