    I believe that Andrew's daughters have the title of Princess in their own right.
    It's a tad difficult to inherit something from a parent until they become a dead parent.
    Even then there is no reason why they couldn't call themselves Princess. I mean look at the former pop star called Prince who then became squiggle formerly known as Prince although it could have been the other way round.

        Prince as a name is somewhat different from Prince as a title tho. Father no longer a royal...mother never was a royal....so children are no longer Princess unless that is now their christian name.

          It's not really fair to pick on the princesses - they haven't done anything wrong.

            As I said above they hold the title and style Princess in their own right.
            This sums it up better: As a male-line grandchild of the sovereign, Eugenie was known as "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie of York", with the territorial designation coming from her father's former title, Duke of York. Since her marriage, she has been styled "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie, Mrs Jack Brooksbank" in the Court Circular.
            Further information could no doubt be obtained from the College of Arms.

              Apparently the investigation into the train stabbings is "incredibly complex". Why? Dozens of witnesses, CCTV, perp and weapon arrested at the scene. Open and shut, I'd say.

                  Hi I Always thought that Beatrice and Eugenia now that are married to commoners automatically lost the Princess title , Anne done the right thing as none of her children are prince or princes

                      I see a lot of questions in that case. The time when people were locked up for, “we have seen you doing it” is gone some years ago.
                      If that person did similar the morning in London and obviously a couple of times before, I would like to know why he was still walking around and what went wrong to take him into custody in London on that morning and the other events before.
                      That person is 32 years old and what has he done until now. Someone should have seen what’s wrong with him.
                      Who or what institution has failed to act. Parents, school, doctors, social services, police, internet history, political impact, drugs, social media, dark web.

                      A lot to do, @ViewAhead.

                        is was my point some time ago, if one of his victims dies he should hang, no question it was him, open and shut case.
                        But lets hope nobody dies.

                          Reasons, history, etc, may well need researching, @simone_in_wiltshire, but they can crack on with a court case meanwhile, as whatever the cirs, stabbing multiple people on public transport is a crime.

                            The event in London is now added, and I think all sides know what to do, prosecutor, police, barristers/solicitors, judge, jury.
                            We are not in the wild west of the 19th century when someone was hung the next day.

                              I suppose my post about the royals and who should retain/lose the title is simply a personal point of view. I agree that children shouldn't be blamed for the behaviour of their parents but as far as I know, no one is doing that in this particular circumstance. If no longer being titled Prince or Princess this, that or the other makes a huge difference to the way you live your life, then you have a similar problem to everyone else. Welcome to the world today.
                              The royals should move with the times and accept they are owed no more privileges than anyone else. Perhaps Anne was not particularly interested in inheriting the throne but she was 2nd in line after Charles if we are talking about equality of the sexes.

                                I'm not sure stabbing ten people on a train is that far from the "wild west".:frown:
