 Find out how titles are organized and how they influence the lives of British royalty.

<p style="text-align:justify">King,<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/harry-and-meghan-with-oprah-quenn-elizabeths-answer-royal-family"> <strong>queen</strong></a> , counts, dukes, barons - the titles of<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/prince-harry-charles-meghan-who-is-the-most-popular"> <strong>members of the British royal family</strong> </a>organize it through a hierarchy, which establishes the role of each noble and their responsibility as representatives of the crown at events. See the main ones:</p>


<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>1 - King / Queen</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">They correspond to the heads of state of the monarchy. The UK&#39;s parliamentary constitutional monarchy system does not give them powers of government, but places them as symbols of national unity. The line of succession to the throne follows the rule of heredity, according to which the first monarch of the previous monarch occupies the first place for the assumption of the crown. The male gender is no longer a criterion for the occupation of this place, since the law was sanctioned in 2011.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>2 - Queen consort</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The law states that only men can give the title of consort to their wives, as a way of protecting the royal line. This is why Prince Philip did not become king, despite being married to Queen Elizabeth II.</p>


<p><strong>3 - Prince / Princess of Wales</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Prince of Wales is the title always granted by the monarch to his eldest son, recognized as heir to the throne. Wives are recognized as Princesses of Wales by marriage. Camilla, wife of Prince Charles and also Duchess of Cornwall, although she also carries the title of <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/kate-middleton-meghan-markle-are-not-called-princesses-british-royal-family">Princess of Wales of the United Kingdom</a>, prefers not to use it, because of<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/film-tv/kristen-stewart-is-lady-diana-princess-diana-in-spencer-new-film-royal-family"> Lady D,</a> for whom the honor was maintained even after the separation.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>4 - Prince / Princess</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The title was intended for children, grandchildren and the great-grandchild who was the eldest son of the Prince of Wales&#39;s firstborn; spouses do not receive such a title. In a charter issued by King George V in 1917, it had been determined that the other great-grandchildren of a monarch could no longer be considered princes or princesses. Thus, only George,<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/kate-middleton-and-prince-william-children-debut-on-their-first-red-carpet"> Prince William&#39;s eldest son</a>, would be considered a prince. However, in 2012, Queen Elizabeth II, in a new charter, declared that all the children of the Duke of Cambridge would be princes and princesses, being given the title of Her Royal Highness.</p>


<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>5 - Duke / Duchess</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Among the five echelons of the nobility, which also include the titles of marquis, count, viscount and baron, the highest is the title of Duke, who can be inherited from his father or received by some monarch. <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/man/How-Is-Prince-Harry-life-in-the-usa-with-meghan-markle-secrets">William and Harry </a>were named by the Queen as Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex, shortly after their weddings.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>6 - Count / Countess</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The title was previously granted to advisers and advisers - people very close to the king, whose function was to administer provinces for the monarch. In addition to inherited by the family, the title can be given to someone for services rendered to the crown.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>7 - Viscount / Viscountess</strong></p>

<p>They replace the counts in case of absence. Since the 10th century, the title has been granted to the children of counts. This is the case for James, Viscount de Severn, son of Prince Edward - also Count of Wessex. As a monarch&#39;s grandson, James could also be a Prince, but his parents asked for the approval of Queen Elizabeth II so that he could receive the title only as the son of an Earl.</p>
