Queen Elizabeth’s little-known title might surprise some fans and she was the last to publicly use it before it passed to Duchess Sophie.

So many of the royals who are high up in the royal line of succession have been known by different titles at different points in their lives, from the Princess of Wales previously being referred to as Duchess of Cambridge and Queen Camilla as Duchess of Cornwall. The late Elizabeth II might forever be known as the Queen to some fans, but she also used and had several other titles throughout her reign. One of Queen Elizabeth’s little-known titles has since been received by Duchess Sophie, who reports have often suggested was one of her “favourite” royals.
