Prince Charles-an exemplar.

The Duke of Rothesay is one of his Scottish titles:



I prefer to use one of his Scottish titles just because I'm biased towards Scotland!

Which poses another question. The Prince is known as The Duke of Rothesay north of the border but how is he styled? HRH or His Grace? Would the fact that he is heir to the Throne of Great Britain automatically grant HRH or would it be His Grace since Rothesay (that I know of) is not a Royal Dukedom like Kent or York?

Interestingly in the Duchy of Lancaster they toast His Grace the Duke of Lancaster referring to the Queen.

Hmmm...that is a good question. At first thought, HRH would take "pride of place", since he is the heir to the throne...but you correct, "His Grace" is appropriate for Dukes (His Grace, the Duke of Argyll, for example) -- I wonder if the Royals web site could answer that?

This was bugging me. :rolleyes: I couldn't find an answer on Style in Scotland on the royal website but answers.com states that Duke of Rothesay is the traditional title of the Heir to the Throne of Scotland.

but what it boils down to is:

Current Holder
HRH The Prince of Wales currently holds the title of Duke of Rothesay and uses it when in Scotland. He has the formal Scottish style of HRH The Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay.

She's also the Duke of Normandy.

She's also the Duke of Normandy.

You're right. Just looked it up and never knew that. Some of the aspects of the Peerage (especially the royal side of it) still mystify me.

Wonder how the President of France feels about that?

Back on topic -- Yyyaaaaaaaankkkkkkk :rolleyes:

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall do indeed cut a fashionable swath these days.
