The Remarkable Title of Prince Louis and Queen’s Intervention to Make It Possible
Prince Louis Arthur Charles, the mischievous young prince, has captured the hearts of the nation with his charming personality and is destined to become an extraordinary figure.
At the tender age of five, Prince Louis holds a remarkable title that has garnered admiration from all corners.
On April 27, 2018, four days after his birth, the prince's name was unveiled, revealing a name of great significance, thanks to the late Queen Elizabeth's intervention.
In a tribute to King Charles' mentor, Lord Louis Mountbatten, Prince Louis inherited his father's middle name.
It is worth noting that Prince William also carries the name Louis.
The full title of the youngest prince is His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge, a title made possible by his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth Yu.
However, it was not without challenges to ensure that Prince Louis received his rightful title.
King George V had established provisions in 1917 regarding the eligibility of royals to hold titles.
According to these guidelines, those further down the line of succession would be excluded from receiving esteemed titles.
While all of the sovereign's children and grandchildren born through the male line automatically became princes or princesses, great-grandchildren were left off the list.
The exclusion of great-grandchildren from the title was likely due to the Queen's longevity, as she lived until the age of 96, surpassing other monarchs of her time.
As a result, Prince Louis and his brothers, being born as great-grandchildren of a king, were not entitled to the title under the previous regulation.
However, the Queen intervened and ensured that Prince George would receive a title, extending the change to all of Kate and William's children.
It is important to note that this alteration did not affect other members of the royal family.
Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, Prince Harry, and other royal grandchildren were not covered by the same clause for any children they might have had.
Nevertheless, with King Charles ascending the throne, Prince Harry's two children, Archie and Lilibet, along with other grandchildren of the monarch, can now proudly bear the titles of His or Her Royal Highness, prince, or princess.
The nation is captivated by the remarkable title bestowed upon Prince Louis, a testament to the Queen's intervention and her dedication to ensuring that all her great-grandchildren receive their rightful titles.
