Origin

Titles and styles

Titles and styles are primarily governed by royal grants issued by the monarch, and also dynastic law, and the constitution.

  • The reigning monarch is The King or The Queen, and is afforded the style His or Her Majesty.
  • The King's wife is The Queen, who holds the style Her Majesty. The husband of a Queen regnant is afforded no title or styles unless otherwise granted by the monarch or previously held in his own right.
  • The heir apparent is afforded the status of a Prince of Gelonia, holding the primary substantive title of Duke of Oxonia. A female heir presumptive may be afforded the title of Princess Royal. The heir is afforded the style of Royal Highness.
  • A monarch's children, not the Duke of Oxonia or Princess Royal, along with children of a Prince or Princess, are bear the title of Prince or Princess with the territorial designation "of Gelonia" from birth. A princess generally loses her territorial designation upon marriage, and assumes that of her husband (if applicable). A prince only discards his territorial designation if he is granted a historic duchy.
  • Spouses of a monarch's sons or daughters are afforded any titles or styles that the monarch bestows upon them. Spouses of the monarch's sons assume the equivalent of their husband's title and style.
