Prince Louis Could Follow in Prince Andrew’s Footsteps to Receive This Royal Honor When Prince William Becomes King

Whether he's waving from the balcony of Buckingham Palace or blowing out his sister's candle at Westminster Abbey, Prince Louis never fails to delight royal fans with his cheeky antics and sweet personality. Prince William and Princess Kate's 6-year-old son might have a long way to go until he receives a new royal title, but down the line, he could be granted the same one that Prince Andrew has held since the 1980s.

Prince Andrew is the current Duke of York—having been granted the title when he married in Sarah Ferguson in 1986—and upon his death, it's possible Prince Louis could take over as the new duke. The royal title dates back to the 14th century and has been created multiple times throughout British history. It carries particular historical weight as several Dukes of York later became kings, including King George V (Queen Elizabeth's grandfather) and her father, King George VI.
