Prince George would also receive a significant title if his father becomes King, as he would take on the Prince of Wales title once he marries. It has also been recently reported that King Charles hopes to one day bestow the Dukedom of Edinburgh to Charlotte - which would make her the Duchess of Edinburgh in her own right. The current holder of the title is Prince Andrew so it would be unavailable to Louis if Andrew was still alive when he chooses to marry. The monarch opted to give the title to Prince Andrew - who was widely regarded to be her favourite son - when he married Sarah Ferguson in 1986.
