Queen Elizabeth II signed a Letters Patent declaring that future royal daughter will be a princess |
Queen Elizabeth II, through a Letters Patent, has declared
that a daughter born to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would be styled Her
Royal Highness and bear the title Princess.
This is to upturn the Letters Patent
issued by Her Majesty’s grand father, King George V, which limits the use of
Royal Highness only to the eldest son
of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. The Queen had issued the Letters
Patent to the House of Lords last Dec. 31, although it was only made public
yesterday, reports The Daily Mail.
It reads:
“The Queen has been pleased by Letters Patent under the
Great Seal of the Realm dated 31 December 2012 to declare that all the children
of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales should have and enjoy the style, title and attribute of Royal Highness with
the titular dignity of Prince or Princess prefixed to their Christian names or
with such other titles of honour.”
