Prince Louis set to miss out on traditional royal title and so could 'generations' to come

Prince Louis of Wales attends the traditional Easter Sunday Mattins Service at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on April 5, 2026.

As the son of a future King, Prince Louis is destined to receive a more senior title one day, but it apparently won't be the one that we all thought. There are certain titles that are traditionally bestowed on particular people in the line of succession.
