And the baby's title? Unknown as of yet as the current Letters Patent did not foresee so many generations living at once.
According to Robert Hardman, the children of the Duke and Duchess will be lord and lady "like the children of any other duke", because Prince Harry is not expected to become King. Following tradition, the eldest son of a duke uses one of his father's subsidiary titles. Therefore, unless the Queen grants him the title of prince, he most likely will be known by the courtesy title Earl of Dumbarton, the highest of his father's subsidiary titles. Under Letters Patent issued by King-Emperor George V, upon his grandfather Prince Charles's accession to the throne, he will be entitled to the style His Royal Highness, and the "titular dignity of Prince ... prefixed to [his] Christian name."
Congratulations.
The baby is 7th in line to the British and Commonwealth throne - and automatically has American citizenship given his mother's nationality. Maybe in a few years time, we can Make America Great Britain Again. ;) Younger generation of senior royals is now: Prince George, Prince Charlotte, Prince Louis and now the Earl of Dumbarton.
Thoughts!
