The titles are presently said to be ordered "according to precedence of most recent bearer", but are not. The correct precedence should be

  • The Sovereign: Duke of Lancaster
  • Prince Philip (Royal Warrant 1952): Duke of Edinburgh
  • Sons of the Sovereign and their wives: Prince of Wales, Princess of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, Duchess of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Duke of York, Duchess of York, Earl of Wessex (sons of Elizabeth II)
  • Daughter of the Sovereign: Princess Royal (daughter of Elizabeth II)
  • Grandsons of the Sovereign: Duke of Clarence (at the last bearer's death he was grandson of the reigning Sovereign Victoria)
  • Brothers of the Sovereign: none
  • Uncles of the Sovereign: Duke of Sussex (at the last bearer's death he was uncle of reigning Sovereign Victoria)
  • Grandsons of former Sovereigns: Duke of Gloucester, Duke of Kent (grandsons of George V), Duke of Albany (grandson of Victoria), Duke of Cambridge (grandson of George III)
  • Other Royal Dukes: Duke of Connaught, Duke of Strathearn (great-grandson of Victoria), Duke of Cumberland (great-grandson of George III)

Trying to combine different individuals' precendece over 300 years in this way is needlessly complicated and pretty much meaningless anyway, so I'm just going to rearrange the titles alphabetically. Opera hat (talk) 09:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot the Duke of Windsor; he would be between Clarence and Sussex as uncle of Elizabeth II. Opera hat (talk) 09:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
You can remove Cornwall and Rothesay from the list, or put in parentheses after PoW; they're always granted together. PrinceOfCanada (talk) 03:06, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
"Prince of Wales" and "Earl of Chester" are the only titles granted to the heir-apparent; Cornwall and Rothesay are held automatically. And they aren't necessarily always held by the Prince of Wales, either; George III is the famous counter-example as he was Prince of Wales but not Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay.
