Senior members of the royal family are often holders of numerous prestigious titles, each with its own rich history.
Prince William became the Prince of Wales when his father, King Charles, ascended to the throne.
Prior to this, he held the title of the Duke of Cambridge, a title that he retains to this day.
It is a title that can only be passed down to his sons, George or Louie, and one with a history that has seen a series of untimely deaths and misfortunes over the centuries.
The title passed through various generations, including to King George III鈥檚 seventh son, Prince Adolphus. It was then inherited by his son, Prince George. However, the title became extinct after his death due to a violation of the Royal Marriages Act of 1772.
Despite his young age, Prince Louie has already captured the hearts of royal watchers around the world. His animated displays and expressive behavior have made him a fan favorite. At this year鈥檚 Trooping the Colour ceremony, Louie was seen making funny faces and playfully tugging on the blinds as he stood with his mother, the Princess of Wales, on the balcony of Horse Guard鈥檚 Parade.
His antics, including trying to open a window and appearing unimpressed during the parade, delighted royal fans, solidifying his status as the cheeky, mischievous younger royal.
The story of Prince Louie and the Duke of Cambridge title adds another layer of intrigue to the royal family鈥檚 rich and often tumultuous history, and it will be fascinating to see how these legacies continue to evolve.
