Lady Louise Windsor and her brother James, Viscount Severn, stand out among the Queen's grandchildren for not using the prestigious titles of HRH Prince or Princess, unlike some of their cousins.
Lady Louise, however, holds the potential to ascend to the title of Princess in the future, being the grandchild of the Queen through her youngest son, Prince Edward.
This possibility stems from the 1917 historic letters patent that still hold sway today.
According to this decree, all male-line grandchildren of a reigning monarch are entitled to the princely status and the honor of being addressed as Royal Highness.
The rule dictates that the offspring of the current King or Queen have the privilege of bestowing princely titles upon their own progeny.
Despite this customary right, Buckingham Palace made it clear after the nuptials of Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, that their children would inherit titles reserved for the offspring of an Earl.
Speculations arose regarding a potential shift in Lady Louise's status when she reached the age of 18 on November 8, 2021, yet no changes materialized at that time.
The impending changes in the Royal family loom large following the recent demise of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 on September 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle.
The ascension of King Charles III to the throne stands as the most prominent transformation on the horizon.
Nevertheless, the titles of other royals may also undergo alterations, potentially impacting Lady Louise's father, Prince Edward.
As per a prior announcement by Buckingham Palace concerning Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex's union, it was agreed by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prince of Wales that Prince Edward should be granted the dukedom of Edinburgh in due course, once the current title held by Prince Philip reverts to the crown.
In essence, Prince Edward could succeed his mother as the Duke of Edinburgh post her passing, subject to the decision of King Charles.
However, Lady Louise's title would remain unchanged if her father were to assume the role of the Duke of Edinburgh, unless she opts for a different path.
Countess Sophie, known for her stance on raising her children with a work ethic, expressed skepticism about the likelihood of her offspring utilizing their HRH titles.
In an interview with the Sunday TIMES, she emphasized their freedom to choose, indicating that the utilization of such titles at 18 seems improbable.
Meanwhile, a surprising turn of events unfolded as the Duke of Norfolk, responsible for orchestrating the Queen's funeral, faced a six-month driving ban.
The Earl Marshal, Edward FitzAlan Howard, 65, admitted to using his phone while driving, leading to his encounter with the law at the Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court.
Prosecutors revealed that the Duke had been caught running a red light in southwest London on April 7 while conversing on his cell phone with his wife.
Despite the Duke's plea of requiring his license for the planning of King Charles III's coronation, the court imposed the driving ban along with penalty points.
The magistrate panel, headed by Judith Way, acknowledged the Duke's unique position but deemed the inconvenience caused by the ban as not constituting undue hardship.
Alongside the driving suspension, the Duke faced an £800 fine and additional costs.
The recent funeral of Queen Elizabeth II drew massive crowds, with thousands gathering at Westminster Abbey and millions tuning in worldwide to bid farewell to the nation's longest-reigning monarch.
