Prince Louis could get Prince Andrew’s title one day thanks to key rule

The current Duke of York is Prince Andrew, so the title would be unavailable to Louis if Andrew is still alive when Louis decides to marry, reports OK!.

Traditionally, the Duke of York title is bestowed upon the monarch’s second-eldest son. Therefore, if Prince William ascends the throne and the title is vacant, then Prince Louis could assume it.

The Queen’s late grandfather, King George V, and her father, King George VI, were both former Dukes of York. Consequently, she was known as Princess Elizabeth of York until her father became king in 1936.

As a result, the late Queen had several sentimental connections to this title.

Prince Louis isn’t the only young Royal set for a significant title change in the future. His older brother, Prince George, is also in line for a major title shift when their father becomes King.

Prince George is set to become the Prince of Wales, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Prince Charles and father Prince William. He would be the 28th person to hold this title.

Princess Charlotte is also due for some big changes as she grows up. When her father becomes King and Princess Anne passes away, Charlotte will be eligible to become the next Princess Royal.

This title is traditionally given to the monarch’s eldest daughter and is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a female member of the Royal Family by the sovereign.
