In the UK, there are several specific rules that explain which members of the Royal Family are entitled to hold a prince or princess title. Many of these rules date from Letters Patent by King George V in 1917, where he wrote that all the children of the sovereign, the male-line grandchildren and the Prince of Wales’s eldest son were all allowed to hold a princely title. While Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie both have titles as they are male-line granddaughters of the late Queen, their children are not entitled to become a Prince or Princess.
